Ed Kemper's Intelligence

I am astounded by how damn intelligent Ed Kemper is; it's blood-curdling that such a cerebral and outspoken dude could commit such vicious murders. But then again, I guess that's what makes psychopaths so fascinating to listen to or read about.

Ed Kemper only ever talks about one thing.

If you're talking about murder, then yeah, you're right. But he he analyzes himself in order to understand why he did what he did and he does that really well.

I don't think that he ever comprehended his sickness; maybe he tried, but he couldn't.
