These guys are impossible to deal with because everything tells you that they
are such a great guy! You caught him turning it on and off which helps you
realize something isn't quite right. After the classic sociopath, Ted Bundy got
done defending himself at his murder trail down here in Florida in which he
lost, the judge praised him for being such a good attorney and mentioned how he
would have been proud for him to appear in his court room. He also said that it
was sad that his life took the wrong turn. The wrong turn, JFC! He probably
killed between 75-150 women!
