".... blah blah blah his compulsion to kill."

No, dude. His compulsion to rob. Killing was circumstantial, incidental, and logically necessary.

This concludes case file Gary Hilton, The Great Beast Of Blood Mountain. The serial killer that was not a serial killer who pwnd them all. I think I'm gonna write ol' boy. You guys want me to say 'hey' for ya?

Anyway, who you guys wanna do next?

There's a science to this journalism, too, ya know. See how pseudo-Freeman moved immediately to the next question after Gary, now sufficiently provoked by his antagonism, announces that he beat her ass?

You didn't even notice what happened. It totally got you, and i just pulled you back. Your brain was made to believe that pseudo-Freeman just won something, just proved a point, confirmed a theory, etc. By stopping there and shifting attention to the next question, you aren't able to review carefully what just happened. That was done on purpose by pseudo-Freeman.

I humbly aks you: who is the sociopath here?

No? It's just the innocent machinations of good journalism? Hardly. It's a reflection of deep human nature but not just that. You have a serious problem here. The GOOD GUYS are doing this stuff. The guys you would have over for dinner. Pseudo-Freeman would sit there, law abiding, dressed well, nicely trimmed. He'd pass you the potatoes during stimulating conversation. What you don't know is that an hour earlier, he pulled a Hannibal Lecter mind-f*** on a crazy homeless man charged with murder. That he's a career liar, pure theater, hollywood, and that the better he does this, the more he gets paid. What's worse, you'd do the same thing as pseudo-Freeman if you were in that chair instead of him. I must tell you that this is very disappointing, PN.

Gary's importance to the SK community is that he is a martyr, a sacrificial lamb thrown into the jaws of the gaping media and you, it's insatiable audience. We gave Gary to you, the howling mob, so that we might be cleansed of our sins!

Author's note: I'm a hybristophile not a serial killer, but I speak on behalf of the serial killer community. I'm like an SK apologist. The Aquinas of psychopathy.

What's so adorable about Gary is that he's such a genuinely good guy (in fucked up circumstances) he's even unable to defend himself successfully against cunning journalists. This guy pummels Gary almost the whole interview.

Around 0:22:00, the journalist tries to lead Gary into admitting that the robberies were a pretext to expressing his paraphilias, which, Gary, again being so brutally honest (not like our journalist friend), openly admits to have or have had, i should say. This information was gained when Gary explained how as a kid he masturbated with fantasies of women slumped over logs in the forest and he brandishing a sword. No doubt imagery he picked up from a movie or.... detective mag? Shout out to sexy Ted! NO PORN.

Ah, but wait.

Gary raped karate Meredith because a) he felt she owed em after giving em so much trouble with the fake pin numbers and b) even a 61 year old would spring one if walking behind sexy atheletic karate Meredith on a trail all day. A nice ass will do a lot to a man.

Now, maybe pseudo-Freeman knew Gary was a professed quasi-incel. He should have, would have, if he watched the detective interview. In it, Gary, in his great wisdom, says that the great liberation comes to a man when he stops being led by his cock. This after admitting to not being laid in years (since his divorce). Begging the question: did bro watch the interview... or not, and conduct an interview in ignorance?

We notice pseudo-Freeman say "raped his victimS", not victiM. Minor, but profitable for documentary purposes. Who needs facts when they watch a docu, right?

Robberies were a pre-text for sick rapist paraphilia. Yes. That's why he didn't rape Cheryl (pseudo-Sigourney Weaver) and then chose the Bryants. He's such a sex beast that he doesn't rape the viable one of the three named and then chooses like seventy year old Irene as his next one.

This guy's a regular Ted Bundy, jesus.

Decade long sexually abstinent 61 year old crazy man and self-acclaimed incel is REALLY motivated by dark sexual perversions. Isn't it obvious?

Caveat: Gary DID have one of the most boss SK looks of any of em. Penetrating crazy guy eyes. Sharp features, etc. But that doesn't mean you are a psychopath, dammit. I get this all the time with my stressed out paranoid suspiciously concentrated furrowed brow wrinkled forehead face. Stop thinking we're murders just because we're kinda scary looking! FFS.

Sorry... 84 year old Irene. Real sex machine, her. Gary knows how to pick em he's such a sex crazed lunatic with excellent tastes.

Fun fact. Myself and a traveling companion were living in my truck only a stone's throw away from the Bryant incident when it happened. We were so close we could have accidentally crossed paths with Gary somewhere had he been in Asheville at any time.

See now I'm having rescue fantasies and am taking the blame. I should have found Gary and took him under my wing. Made a carpenter out of em and turned the old fella around. Talk him into hitting the day labor places every few days to get fifty bucks instead of plotting robberies. Hell, he only got $300 outta the Bryants and with karate Meredith he actually lost capital; spent his last dime on gas driving around looking for atms to no avail. It's all so tragic.

@ 38:15

Let's look at it. I propose that Gary's claim to have derived a perverse joy in the fact that a whole church is traumatized for life by what he did to pseudo-Sigourney is not a display of real malevolence toward anyone. Would Gary really like some kids to know their church lady's head was cut off? C'mon, man.

That was a glimpse of schadenfreude only for the sake of it. A sociopath already beyond the capacity to feel shaken by the idea of human death doesn't fail to recognize common decency (and withold the 'hahaha') because he's evil... he simply, honestly, doesn't have the mechanism that makes him believe such a comment is indecent or that anything is truly tragic (unless it's the whole universe). There's a difference. To Gary, the idea of a whole church of kids finding out their church lady was beheaded IS funny in a macabre way. At the same time, Gary would never literally laugh at a church of kids finding out about Sigourney's murder.

What makes Gary different and 'sociopathic' is his brutal honesty and inability to observe common decency. He'd make a comment like that (hahaha) at a time like this, etc. It's the savage innocence of the brutally honest nihilist whose at least still able to have a sense of humor.... while we all haven't even gotten to the first step yet and so can't believe our ears.

f*** they're everywhere. Check this one out. Pseudo-Judd @ 12:00. Real Sigmund Freud, this one.

Gary says, "I love you," to the forest ranger as he's getting ready to ride off. According to Freud, this is evidence of his mental breakdown. Mixed up inappropriate emotions. Bro is so screwed up he thinks he loves the cop.

Hey Sigmund, what if that comment was part of Gary's feigned over-friendliness to the cop so he would be thought of as just a cool old guy camping out rather than a quiet, impatient shady guy who just murdered someone?

You'll meet Tabor in that last one. Arguably, the cause of this whole mess. Gary fucked up in life by assuming a commitment as an employee to Tabor the rich capitalist for ten years as a siding salesman would ever lead anywhere but into dead-end wage slavery.

Behind a good half of SKs is a fucked work history. And who's always at the scene of a crime when someone has a bad day.... or career... at work. You got it. The capitalist.

Don't be under the impression that accepting a shit wage so you can work all your life only to make another man rich is normal. It isn't. It's yous thatta abnormal for thinking it is. Gary was just the wrong guy. He wasn't gonna play that game.

Irony: Tabor's second house, which acted as one of the business offices and was where Gary was given permission to live if he continued working for Tabor, was very likely bought with money made off of Gary's work. This was the last residence Gary ever lived at.

Lol. Mr. Tabor was in his other home's gym preparing for a vacation in Colorado with the fam when he heard the news of Gary 'two scoops of coffee left' Hilton's handiwork at the state park.

Fun fact: while Gary and karate Meredith are kickin' it down in Georgia on Blood Mountain, I'm trying to break into an impound yard in the middle of the night so i can sneak into my truck and have somewhere warm to sleep 4,000 feet above sea-level in Jan. Just got out of a 52-day jail bid for contributing to the delinquency of a minor (assisting a runaway) and had only the clothes on my back. They towed and impounded my truck. Bro, that was my house!

With 288 death row prisoners in Raiford alone and a 22-year average time spent on death row in Florida, i think ol' boy's gonna escape the needle and die a good honest man's natural death.

15 years, buddy. You got seven more to go before the needle starts closing in on ya. I think you'll make. Or not make it... because you die of na... you know what i mean.

C'mon congestive heart failure!

Are you a sociopath? A round peg in a square hole who, despite his efforts, finds other's company unfulfilling and would go to a movie by himself because he/she hasn't been oversocialized and programmed all their life to feel like activity without others is unhealthy or meaningless?

"Take the Hilton test and find out @ 2:00.

"Hey, gimme another cup if there's any left"

Motormouth Gary is tweaking harder on caffeine than he had in a month. Remember when they took em down he had only three spoons of instant folgers left. He was rationing... which means his coffee tolerance went way down.

When I got money on the books eventually and was able to buy coffee from the canteen, one single serving pack was the equivalent of a line of cocaine. But you had to shoot it like a shot of whiskey. One swallow. I'd walk yard laps for four fuckin hours straight.

Oh dear. I knew something was up with Gary. So i looked em up, and he's five Scorpios in a row right out the gate. The planets that matter. Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus. Boom boom boom and boom. And then boom again, Jupiter. Then he's got two Leo's further out and a Sagittarius.

That's what you call a celestially fucked fellow. Try as Gary might he's simply gonna be too much. He's just not gonna be able to chill right around other people.
