Ted Bundy Wasn't Special Or Smart. He Was Just White.
Refinery29 ^ | January 28, 2019 | Ashley Alese Edwards

Posted on 01/28/2019 1:25:08 PM PST by EveningStar

Ted Bundy, though dead for 30 years, is again having his moment in the spotlight. In 2019, the serial killer — who brutally raped and murdered at least 36 women — is the subject of a new four-part docuseries on Netflix, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, and will be portrayed by a chiseled Zac Efron in the film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, which will be released in theaters on January 26.

In both the docuseries and the film, Bundy is painted as an artful, handsome, and exceptionally intelligent man; one whom you would never, ever think was capable of bludgeoning women to death and then having sex with their corpses. In the movie’s trailer, Efron’s Bundy smirks, winks, seductively takes off his shirt, and passionately rips off a woman's blouse...

But the Ted Bundy of America’s consciousness is a myth. Bundy was not special, he was not smarter than the average person; he did not have a personality so alluring that his female victims could not help but simply go off with him. He did not have a superhuman skill to be one step ahead of the police. What Bundy did have was the power of of being a white man in a society that reveres them and has implicit faith in their abilities. This privilege gave Bundy the ability to make even the most heinous of crimes take second place to his personality. Bundy isn’t even exceptional when compared to other American serial killers. So why is his legacy treated with fascination and twisted admiration rather than condemnation? ...

Well Ash. There’s always that new “Gosnell” movie that the ‘RATS are trying to keep covered up.

“Bundy, with the help of the media, was seen as just a young man who may have lost his way”

That’s such a f*ing lie. I lived through those times. Nobody thought he was anything but a horrible monster. This writer has sh*t for brains.

That line made me wonder...so I looked and found what I suspected. One Ashley Alese Edwards.

Total BS. I know crime & I know insane and after watching Bundy on Netflix I'd say he was well above the average IQ while at the same time being totally evil. I've never seen someone as good at killing as Bundy was.

So now the left is reduced to envying white serial killers because there aren’t enough non-white serial killers?

Huh? So, Bundy is considered the golden boy of serial killers and that is an example of white privilege? Okay.

Almost every serial killer is a sexual deviant of average to below average intelligence. They do tend to be extremely dedicated to their perversion, persistent, and with a tremendous desire to remain free so they can continue their killing, all of which gives the illusion of intelligence.

Bundy was a raging necrophiliac.

Weird. HIs victims were white too

In twisted racial scorekeeping like this author’s, 30+ dead white-women would be considered quite a success.

There are plenty of black gang bangers in and out of prison for committing murder that are glorified by the rap culture? That isn't a good enough for the idiot that wrote this?

Bundy was caught near here by Pensacola Police in a stolen VW Bug.

How ‘smart’ was that?....................

Bundy’s had multiple MOs, but one of his greatest assets was the ability to charm women with his appearance and air of sophistication. He was intelligent enough for law school, and might have been very successful if he hadn’t wasted all his time obsessing over murder and ways to commit it.

I forgot about that. But now that you mention it, I remember that too.

There is talk out there that something called “the Bundy bloodline” is part of the elite globalist network.

“two Bundy brothers held the key positions that controlled most of the information that was fed to U.S. Presidents during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.”

“Both Bundy brothers were also fraternal brothers of the Illuminati Order of the Skull and Bones.”
