Coach Duggs Never Decapitated His Own Mother

I jokingly mentioned in a blog I wrote about Charlize Theron yesterday that Coach Duggs played Ed Kemper in the Netflix series Mindhunters.

The only reason I said it is because both Duggs and Ed are men of considerable size AND considerable intelligence.

Plus, there is an argument that Duggs really could play anyone since he pretended to be a fictional computer-generated college football coach for most of the pandemic… Which was entertaining to watch.

But here's where they differ…

Coach Duggs is just a downright wonderful person.  He's delightful to be around and also happens to have the singing voice of an angel.

(I mean… Just look at this beautiful bastard.)

On the other hand, Ed Kemper is a terrible human being, and I am going to remind you all just how terrible he is because it's Sunday, and everyone needs a little murder-porn for their Sunday morning dump… So buckle up.

Edmund Kemper AKA “The Co-Ed Killer” was primarily known for his enormous size (6’9”, 300 plus pounds) but also is credited with having an exceptionally high IQ which permitted him to understand not only that the actions I am going to describe below were morally wrong, but also led him to accept his own lack of empathy for his victims.

In short, he was/is a very self-aware psychopath.

Here are the bullets:

- At a very young age Kemper began to display dark fantasies relating to sexuality and death. He would decapitate his sister’s dolls in elaborate rites and stalked his second-grade teacher outside her house, carrying his father’s bayonet.

- When he was 10, he killed his family’s pet cat, and at the age of 13, he killed another, this time keeping pieces of the animal in his closet until his mother found them.

- In 1957, Kemper’s father left the family, leaving him in the company of just his abusive mother and two sisters. His mother feared Kemper, who already stood 6’4′′ at the age of 15, and made him sleep in a locked basement.

- At the age of 14, Kemper ran away from his mother’s house to live with his father in California.  However, his father had remarried and sent Kemper to live with his grandparents on their ranch instead. 

- One day, after getting into an argument with his grandmother, Kemper shot her in the head with his grandfather’s .22 caliber rifle… He then killed his grandfather as he was walking up the driveway towards the house.

- Ed then turned himself in to the police and was consequently then sent to the criminally insane unit of Atascadero State Hospital. It was there that he was first tested for his IQ and learned of his high score.

- On Kemper’s 21st birthday in 1969, he was released from Atascadero back into the care of his mother, who was now working as an administrative assistant at the University of California, Santa Cruz…. Go Banana Slugs!

Here are the 3 most disturbing bullets…

1. After a year, Kemper embarked on his infamous murder spree where he would pick up young women who were hitchhiking and murder them, have sex with their corpses, and dismember their bodies.
2. On April 20, 1973, he bludgeoned his mother to death with a claw hammer while she slept in her bed. Kemper then decapitated her and raped her severed head before placing it on a shelf and using it as a dartboard.
3. After playing darts with his mother's semen-filled head, Kemper then invited his mother’s best friend over to the house before murdering her and stealing her car. 

I'll stop with the bullet points now… He drove to Colorado, but eventually turned himself in to the police yet again and confessed to murdering ten people, including his paternal grandparents and mother.

A lawyer asked him what he felt was a just punishment for what he’d done, and he quickly replied, "Torture."

To this day, he declines to attend parole hearings and has repeatedly asserted that people like him do not belong in society.

He is 72 years old and locked up in the California Stae Prison Medical Facility, located in Solano County, CA.

(Truth be told, he looks more like me with a wig than Duggs.)

But to bring this back around again… Much like Coach Duggs, Kemper also has the voice of an angel, and has narrated over 500 books for the blind during his incarceration.

So apologies to Duggs for the unfair comparison, a hearty "Fuck you" to Mr. Kemper, and a "Happy Sunday!" to the freaks that made it to the end of this blog.

Take a report.

Kemper and a host of other sick fucks were the subjects of an old episode of Twisted History that you can find here…
