Why Dey Do Dat?

This week on WDDD? La Shaunda delves into the chilling tale of one of the most notorious serial killers, Donald Gaskins, known for an array of nicknames such as 'America's Meanest Man,' 'The Redneck Charles Manson,' and the 'Hitchhiker's Killer.'

Gaskins, a true sadist, committed his heinous crimes close to home, targeting victims personally acquainted with him. He justified his brutal actions by convincing himself that these individuals had wronged him in some way.

Using methods of torture, drowning, shooting, strangling, and stabbing, Gaskins terrorized his victims. He even claimed to have employed a karate chop to kill one victim, although this assertion, much like many of his statements, was obviously fabricated.

Tune in for the disturbing tale of this deceitful and murderous individual.

The former North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-il, had several possible heirs, but the first in line had a knack for infuriating his father. When he had the audacity to try to sneak his family into Disneyland Japan, it was the final straw.
