Tell me I'm not the only one to find this story, a little disturbing. A federal appeals court last week ordered the government to sell thousands of pages of Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski's papers and other personal property to the highest bidder.
Common sense would dictate a response of public shun for these items. But no!.There are collectors in Florida, New York, California, Ohio that are clamering to get anything from him according to Tod Bohannon, owner of Murderauction.com, an auction Web site for murder memorabilia.
Bohannon's site, created earlier this year after eBay banned the sale of murder-related items amid protests from victims rights groups, features dozens of items from killers including John Wayne Gacy's framed Illinois license plate and letters written by Dennis Rader, the BTK killer in Wichita, Kan.
Experts, noting that some of Gacy's clown paintings he created in prison have sold for as much as $10,000, believe the Unabomber's journals could fetch more than $1,000 apiece.
Thank god, this crap will never show up on the "Antiques Roadshow". These collectors need to get a life. And I hope the U.S Government convinces the Federal Court to burn Kaczynski's stuff and send them down to hell, where they belong.
Later,
Kenaz
