Colonel Williams

I don't think that I have yet written anything on this matter, as those who loathe our military I'm sure will write enough for everyone; but after hearing the details of his crimes yesterday, this guy is high on the list of functional psychopaths in our nation's history. The biggest mystery is that police estimate that he did not begin committing crimes until the age of 44, where most serial killers have a long history of crime that builds up to murder. Was he always a psychopath, because it doesn't make sense how somebody could suddenly become one that late in adulthood. We are talking about somebody who stalked female victims, broke into their homes, and took pictures of himself dressed in their clothes! I don't understand how this kind of insanity can suddenly afflict a military officer at age 44.

I scored a B- in the one intro to psychology course that I took in University. I am not qualified to present any psychological analysis of the man except to say that he is a lunatic. Was he always a lunatic, or did he become a lunatic later in life? I can't answer that.

  1. No one is a killer until they are. I don't what went on in his head so long as high voltage can pass through it at some point in the future. I'm not optomistic on that, but williams has got to be the poster boy for capital punishment.... aside from his college buddy Bernardo.

  2. I am 62 I sure never had the benefit of a university education. Mr Williams, he no longer is entitled to a rank, respect, or oxygen IMO.
    When I think back of all the people I have known, one thing is true, people do what they do. Whether thief, liar, cheat or psychopath or straight arrow.
    I strongly suspect there is a huge story out there, everywhere this guy has been, lived. I will bet there are "unexplained crimes" that DNA could explain.
    This guy did not wake up one morning at 44 and go south. He is as they say very intelligent.
    I would just like the media to quit dredging up pictures of him with MP Peter Mackay, what is with that?
    My condolences to the family members of his victims, very sad.
    I would like to see people like him separated from the rest of us, permanently

  3. Wonder what the desision process would be with these POS if we had a death penalty instead of a farcical 25 (15).Life should mean life but this BS all is forgiven because the horror is forgotten and numbed by time is not acceptable.

  4. Once again the usual suspects are out trumpeting their selfish desire for petty revenge. I can't fathom why someone would wish that we eliminate the rare opportunity to learn more about these psychopathologies, and possibly spare more families from these horrors in the future. Prison for life (meaning life) - yes. Capital punishment - no. It wastes the only opportunity we have to learn, and learning about these people - as difficult and vile as it may be - is one reason we have accumulated the knowledge, expertise and technical skills we have today.

  5. Ya know, maybe Inmate Willams did start acting out his psychopathic tendencies at a later age than the norm for sickos of his ilk. Contrasted to the Olsens and Bernardos of this world, he did live in a more tightly controlled world from early adulthood that may have kept him from finally acting until his forties..... or of course, he did sick shite from early on and the investigators just haven't caught up yet. Should make an interesting, if morbid, study by the forensic psychology folks. First question I'd ask is how Inmate Williams differs from the other psychopaths caught in the last few decades....

  6. I remember reading somewhere that williams was an acquaintance of paul bernardo. And that he may have had something to do with crimes that were committed around that time.

    Also, the pension issue gives a dilemma.
    If capital punishment was the law, would we have to weigh the benefit of his pension going to the victims and keeping him alive against killing him?

  7. The media has driven their credibility into the ground on this horrific act of brutalization and deviance.

    Give me a break media, does the public really need to see the garbage that has been published or broadcast?
    Do the violated woman need to pick out their underwear or see personal garments exploited on national networks and major publishers?
    It's disgusting but also intimidating knowing their are more freaks out there getting their jollies from this coverage.

    I have heard it said that there were no signs and I have never believed that to be true. Tonight a heard an interview that indicated the opposite.
    This guy was an anomaly but an anomaly in a position of power and control, is a lethal weapon.

    I feel the same as some of the commenter's above. There are a few sickos that make me long for the death penalty. This one can be added to that list but WHY does it always have to women or children that are hurt by these whack jobs?

  8. "Once again the usual suspects are out trumpeting their selfish desire for petty revenge."

    Are you kidding anony @ 5:21pm?
    Exactly what has been learned from the likes of Paul Bernardo, Karla Homolka or Clifford Olsen that would have prevented this disgusting act?

    In this country, the victims are dismissed and the perps are protected with pointless attempts at rehabilitation and access to humane, obscene comforts. All the while their victims lay buried for years, unable to reach old age gracefully.

    And we have the Liberals to thank for these cushy comforts because it was the Liberals that decided victims were not the priority, the criminals were!

    "On Oct. 7, 1971,then Solicitor General Jean Pierre Goyer announced in the House of Commons the government's intention to stress rehabilitation of criminals even though it may pose a risk to the public."

    (directly from 'Visions for Justice in Canada newsletter piece written by the Father of Peter Schiemann - a member of the RCMP - was one of the four officers ambushed and murdered on March 3, 2005.)

  9. I know I am writing to a blog here, but I have to wonder if the internet is not creating more and more of these creatures. There is so much easier access to horrific porno now and the desensitization is greater and greater.

    On a lighter note, I can't believe all those thongs women buy. They are so uncomfortable. Like those incredibly high heeled shoes.

  10. Williams had a frightening ability to compartmentalize his two lives.

    It is a warning not to necessarily trust someone in a uniform, or any other authority figure without using discretion.
