I'm an avid reader of Cracked for its humor, but every now and then they come up some really interesting personal pieces about things and this is one of them.

http://www.cracked.com/article_21289_7-things-i-learned-as-accomplice-to-mass-murder_p1.html

For background; The article is about a woman who was a child at the time of the 2000 Murders of of several elderly Concord, California Residences (people here may remember two of the victims as the ex-Wife and daughter of Blues musician Elvin Bishop). Her mother was dating one of the three killers in the case, who were absolutely crazy.

A very interesting piece I think about how easy it can be for people to be sucked into terrible things.

Pretty good article. The guys at cracked do know how to write one.

That story really reminds me of my wife's mom. Sweet as all hell, but really insecure and borderline loony. Crystals, spirits, energies, all that gak.

If her mom's friends had been "bad" crazy instead of "good" crazy back in the early nineties, that could have been my wife writing this story.

You might have heard of it as the Children of Thunder Killings.

ALSO. Since I'm here. The article about a Male Porn star is also very interesting, but children are on these boards so I didn't want to link to it as it talks about things rather vividly at times. You have been warned. Good read, but pulls no punches.
