This week, Kelsie walks us through the case of Willie Pickton, known as the biggest serial killer Canada has ever seen. Having grown up on a pig farm, Willie Pickton was no stranger to the world of farming, slaughtering and butchering. Neglected since he was born, Willie lived in utter filth while forced to work on the farm in between classes at school. When his parents passed away, the farm was left to Willie, his brother and his sister. His sister helped run the business from several towns away, and now that the Pickton brothers had full control of the farm, all hell broke loose.

In this bonus, we do something a bit different. We walk through two different cases, one of nature and one of nurture when it comes to kids who kill. Jesse Pomeroy is the United States youngest serial killer, at only 11-years-old. Jasmine Richardson brutally murdered her entire family at only 12-years-old after being groomed by her 23-year-old boyfriend. Two very different circumstances, but both children who committed multiple murders. Make sure you're following along as we upload new episodes every Monday (and sometimes Thursdays!) and as always, thank you for listening.

It's front page news that TSA inspectors came to work, screened a million bags, and  fund a gun here and there.  That's their job.  It's not clear what is considered news, given these thousands of guns have not been used in any crime. 

TSA employees share their opinions and their emotions, but not a lot of facts needed to evaluate this story.

Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

The mainstream media and politicians combined with the wealthy gun-ban lobby, tells us over and over how bad it is in the United States, compared to other countries.  A favorite statistic is the relative number of "gun" deaths compared to "certain" countries.  Is this a valid point?  Is it a cause for concern or just political gambit?  Maybe it's somewhere in between.  Why not analyze "all" deaths in all countries?  Why not treat suicides and gang violence separately?

On a given day the mainstream media might report firearm deaths per capita, on another day it's deaths overall.  They change the story to fit the agenda.   Their agenda is always at the forefront, the only consistency is their insistence on more gun laws.  Numbers don't lie, but people can, and deciphering the lie is the job of The Tenth Man.

Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

In early 1992, young married couple Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka seemed to have a lot going for them. They'd just gotten married, Paul was making good money, and they were living in a nice house in scenic Port  Dalhousie, Ontario. But they were harboring some real, real dark secrets. Paul was the Scarborough rapist - authorities had been looking for the man that raped over a dozen women going back at least five years. And together, the pair had now raped and killed at least two women. And their first truly horrific crime together involved Karla's fifteen-year-old sister Tammy. How did they get to such a disturbing place? Find out on this week's true crime episode of Timesuck!
