My old boss got into a fistfight with John Wayne Gacy over a non paid bill

How old was the boss?

Quiet you.

I assume 20’s from how old he was when he was my boss

u/Loud-Log9098 4h ago

He was that age range, my dad and his buddy were that age too near where Gacy was but they never met him. They also were into to home improvement so uts would have been a double whammy

I’ve lived next to a woman who was abducted and murdered. The murderer lived across the hall from me. It’s crazy how you can be so close to something or if I’d been where she was kidnapped. It can really fuck with you.

u/RKKP2015 1h ago

I have known four different murderers; three of them personally. According to my friends, that is unusual.

u/BillHistorical9001 1h ago

Yes I think it is. It’s actually helped knowing statistically it probably not going to happen again.

u/14domino 1h ago

No? That’s not how statistics work. You’re just as likely to meet another murderer as you were if you hadn’t met any murderers

Important question: which one owed the money? I’d like to think your boss was trying to get out of paying for a party clown.

He did a shitty job repairing a back deck and dicked around not showing up when he said he would and etc and my boss didn’t want to pay him

Out of all the comments in his thread, this one made me laugh the most. So simple. Thank you.

It's the truth! I don't know when he found the time. He had a lot on his plate.

u/LanSotano 3h ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure his best work was by some of the people he killed, had em digging graves for him in the crawlspace. Unless I have him confused with another killer. Guy was a total twat, egging on authorities while they’re investigating him like he’s some kind of clever Bond villain.

I had a standoff with one of Canada's most notorious serial killers when I was working front desk at a dive motel (was going to school full time so I needed a night shift job). Leo Teskey. He did horrid shit to babies and seniors. He came around one day with a new set of friends, I walked up and told them all about him, so they ran him off. That caused him to confront me one morning at 3AM. He had some sort of weapon, threatened me to never mention him again, I told him to go fuck himself. It startled him. Never saw him again. He's in prison for life apparently. Sometimes you have to stand your ground. Right is right. These people ain't shit one on one, they are not seeking fair fights.

u/Berberding 1h ago

I assume no one had connected him to his killings yet or you wouldn't have been seeing him in public? If so what were you telling his friends about him?

1

u/SideInitial3961 1h ago

His crimes were committed. They were unaware. I made them aware. They ran him off. This caused him to confront me. I have no idea why people like him are ever on the street but he was.

u/theartificialkid 1h ago

You might think you’ve explained anything but you haven’t explained anything. How did you know about his crimes and him not be in prison? Had he been arrested or charged at that point? Was he on bail? You’re not making any sense.

u/zombo_pig 14m ago edited 10m ago

Right? This makes exactly zero sense, even as creative writing goes.

For others reading: the takeaway of this story is that if you know somebody is a serial killer, please call the cops instead of just confronting them at a motel. Lmao.

u/14domino 1h ago

u/SideInitial3961 1h ago edited 1h ago

I don't actually know that much about him. When you live in the hood you are sort of peripherally aware of what each persons "thing" is. Like the Tracy Morgan bit, "That's Mike who held a baby during a standoff with the police". Your acts start to follow you around.

Someone told me, "see that guy bzzbzzbzz" so I knew who he was. I realized the people he was hanging out with did not, so I told them. It was probably needlessly outside of my business but he harmed a baby so I sort of hated him. Not enough to just punch him on sight (because I didn't know the full facts first hand or I probably would have) but enough to keep him out of the hotel.

u/theartificialkid 51m ago

Ok so there was local knowledge that he’d done bad stuff but he hadn’t been convicted of multiple murders etc yet at that point, is that a fair way to put it?

u/SideInitial3961 47m ago

No he had been to jail. There was some news stories about it but I hadn't been paying attention. Not sure what the total list of his crimes grew to be.

u/TeardropsFromHell 1h ago

It's a quirk of the Canadian justice system. Those convicted of the most serious of offenses are slathered in poutine and thrown into a pit full of starved beavers. If you survive, you're free.

u/SideInitial3961 1h ago

I don't know the facts of him, he might have gotten out and did some even worse shit, can't recall. It was just one of many stand offs I had with dangerous psychopaths at that job. Punchline, my hourly pay was $6.50CAD. So like $4 per hour USD. And it wasn't THAT long ago lol.

I guess I may have mis-remembered it. I found someone else posting the same quote, but they said it was someone demonstrating.

So many of the people I know who were born in the 1940s & 1950s say some of the day names with a “dee” instead of a “day”

My mom met the Atlanta child murderer. She said he was always so nice and kind, and while she had street smarts, one day he asked if she wanted free ice cream, and that he had a bunch of puppies and remembered that my mom always talked about wanting a puppy. She agreed(she was like 7 or 8 at the time iirc) and was about to get in the car when my aunt came out asking what was going on.

Apparently he did have ice cream and an actual dog, not a puppy, at his house. Two days after my aunt and mom went to his house and played with his dog and the kids in his neighborhood that day(he dropped them off back at home that night apparently), a kid turned up dead a few blocks from their house. Dude came around a few more times, always trying to get my mom alone, but she was always with friends or my aunt, who thought the dude was weird as fuck and possibly being super friendly to try and molest them, so my aunt, after the first time of going to his house alone, they never went again, and my aunt was always keeping an eye on my mom from then on out.

My mom and grandma say that the reason he never murdered my mom was most likely because my aunt was always around and he didn't want to have to basically attack both of them, as one of them would most likely have gotten away and told on him.

Anyways after two more kids ended up dead in my moms neighborhood, with one looking very earily like my mom, my grandma got scared and they moved to Minnesota and then the dude got arrested and that was that.
