Lee and I watched the second and concluding part of a documentary on mass-killer Kenneth Bianchi. After arrest, he invented the symptoms of multiple personality disorder, and under hypnosis faked the emergence of an evil alter ego, ‘Steve Walker.’ He deceived numerous psychiatrists, which alone was incredible enough—but the extent to which he must have planned the deception is unbelievable. How far can you go in calling him ‘evil’? He was eventually certified as ‘knowing the difference between right and wrong’ and therefore sane and gave evidence to convict his cousin, Angelo Bono, of some of the murders.
The idea of these two psychos cruising around the night time streets in a van so spooked Lee that he decided not to risk the long walk home.
Yesterday morning a WPC was gunned down in London when someone fired a machine gun from a window at the Libyan Embassy at a group of dissident Libyan demonstrators. Eleven demonstrators were wounded and a siege is now in full swing, the Embassy surrounded by armed policemen. There seems to be little chance of a resolution in the near future.
