Albert Fish: The Vampire of Brooklyn

"In 1920s, mutilated bodies of murdered children turned up in the streets of New York City. The crimes were so horrific that they were quickly attributed to a boogieman.

The truth was more mundane but much more disturbing - the murders were perpetrated by a man named Albert Fish, who aptly earned the nickname of the Vampire of Brooklyn:

At this time, Albert H. Fish was working at the nearby YMCA and the center for mentally challenged children. He was fired when “things about these children came out”. He was quoted as saying he “liked killing disabled and black boys because no one would miss them”."

I Love it when people talk about the "good ol'days", back before violence from TV, Video Games, Movies and Music was making people crazy.
