Triumphant Evil in Liberal America - The Story of Nathan McCall

[jordan179]

While reading a book entitled Evil - Inside Human Violence and Cruelty, by Roy F. Baumeister, I was horrified by the story of a particularly despicable villain by the name of Nathan McCall. Apparently he had written a book called Makes Me Wanna Holler, in which among other things he had detailed his commission of terrible crimes. McCall, as a

Even worse, I wonder how many of those poor girls he raped ended up pregnant or contracting STD's, including HIV, as a result of what he did.

I don't know ... because there appears to be nothing online about any of his victims. Any search on "Nathan McCall" and "victims," for instance, will yield you rants by Nathan McCall or his sympathizers on how he was victimized by the Evil White Man. I'm one of the few people who's ever blogged negatively about this fiend in human form.

At the moment, it will turn up your journal entry fairly high.

Yah, when I googled for mccall rape, you came up in the top 10. good score dude.

It gets really surreal, btw. One long article is about McCall talking to self-proclaimed "feminists" about the evils of ...

... gentrification. That's right, it's not violent thugs like McCall gang-raping young black women, beating up innocent boys, shooting people, or robbing stores at gunpoint that is the problem in bad neighborhoods. It's those evil people who want to buy property, rennovate it, and rent it out for a profit. The devils!

Why do I have this vison of McCall waiting to get home to drop his solemn, oh-so-virtuous expression and let loose with a cackle that would scare the living bejayzus out of Charles Manson? If ever there was a walking, talking incarnation of pure evil, McCall is it.

I doubt any of them got HIV, since HIV wasn't even identified until about eight years after McCall went to prison.

Other STDs perhaps... but I wouldn't say that's 'even worse' anyway. For all the people I know who have been raped, it's by far the worst thing that's ever happened to them. For those were raped violently, every one of them (I know four) has later attempted suicide, usually more than once.

A dose of the clap or an unwanted pregnancy would be blissful by comparison.

I won't comment on McCall because from my brief search I can't find any records of him actually raping anybody, and he certainly wasn't ever convicted of it, but... I hold a dark rage in my heart for rapists, seeing what they have done to some of the most beautiful people I know.

[marycatelli]

When a man confesses to a crime, you're allowed to think that he did it.

[firstashore]

Unless he's trying to sell a book, perhaps. Particularly if the point of your book is "look what the evil white man made me do!" and going away for three years for armed robbery just doesn't cut the mustard.

I'm not saying he didn't do it, I'm just saying I don't know, particularly since I haven't read it. I just know of plenty of other 'memoirs' that were later exposed to be largely gilded accounts for the purpose of selling copies.

[jordan179]

A man who would consider it "boasting" to lay claim to the serial forcible rape of young teenage girls deserves whatever contempt or other consequences the claim brings him, should he happen to be lying. But I don't think he's lying -- surely McCall's reality principle cannot be so weak that he does not know that most men would despise him for such statements.

[firstashore]

Maybe, maybe not. His reality principle seems pretty damn weak to me.

I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if his book is largely a fabrication.

[ford_prefect42]

Does that make him better or worse in your view? What about the liberals who laud him?

[polaris93]

I doubt any of them got HIV, since HIV wasn't even identified until about eight years after McCall went to prison.

Well, not exactly. It turns out that genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Nathan McCall was not born prior to 1950. In fact, quite the contrary.

I doubt any of them got HIV, since HIV wasn't even identified until about eight years after McCall went to prison.

It is entirely possible to contract a disease that hasn't been identified.

Normal, in fact, since that's how diseases get identified-- someone contracts them. Hard to identify a disease that no known person has.

[firstashore]

Yes. But extremely unlikely, since at the time he went to prison, HIV in North America was limited to no more than a couple of hundred people in the entire of the continent, and even then largely restricted to the gay community (hence its original name of GRID - Gay Related Immune Deficiency).

So as I said... possible, but I severely doubt it.

[headnoises]

Then you should have said "HIV was incredibly uncommon in any group he was likely to be a member of" or even just "the AIDS pandemic is generally considered to have started mid to late '70s."

Frankly, given how widely it was identified shortly after people started looking-- part of why it was so terrifying, I've been told-- identification was pretty late.
