Jeffrey Dahmer walking tours to start this weekend

Milwaukee, WI â€" On Saturday, Bam Marketing and Media will begin giving guided tours of the area where notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer met many of his victims. The 90-minute tours will wind through the Walker's Point neighborhood that was once filled with gay bars which the killer frequented.

Many family members of Dahmer’s victims are upset over the tours and only got word of the new business venture when tour organizers offered discounted tickets on the popular website known as Groupon.com.

However, tour co-owner Amanda Morden recently told WISN 12 News: “There's also the Manson family tour in California and the Boston Strangler tour. This is not a unique product, but it is something that is new to the city. It's a different format of information provided.”

Bam Marketing and Media’s website ( http://dahmertours.ticketleap.com/dahmer-tours/#view=calendar) provides the following description of the Dahmer tour:  

“Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the nation's most notorious serial killers made Milwaukee his home. He didn't begin there, but he certainly left his everlasting imprint on a city that would rather forget he ever existed. Some bloodstains cannot be scrubbed clean, no matter what attempt to erase them. To meet them head on and explain their origins, rather than attempt to cover them, the Dahmer Tours have begun… The Dahmer Tours will walk you down the path that Milwaukee's monster had trod, giving you the only available inside view of his hunting grounds.”

The tours will run every Saturday beginning March 3 through June 30, with three tours given daily.

Dahmer was arrested on July 22, 1991, when a would-be victim, 32-year-old Tracy Edwards met the serial killer at a mall and went back with him to his Milwaukee apartment. After spending the evening drinking and watching movies together, Dahmer held a knife to Edwards.

Edwards was able to fight-off Dahmer and escape. With a handcuff dangling from his wrist, Edwards flagged down a police officer after fleeing the apartment and described how the killer tried to make him his next victim.

When police entered the apartment they discovered a virtual chamber of horrors.

Four severed heads were found, along with several body parts throughout the apartment. Acid-filled vats containing torsos and seven human skulls were also stored in Dahmer’s home.

It quickly became evident that Dahmer was actually consuming his victims’ organs. On the night of his arrest, a human heart was found in his freezer.

In 1992, Dahmer was convicted in the murders of 15 young men, between 1978 and 1991. He was sentenced to 15 life terms.

At his trial, Edwards testified: “At one point, he said he was going to eat my heart. For some reason, God told me not to let this guy handcuff me. He laid across me and put his head across my chest and was listening to my heart.”

“He had a knife at my groin. I said, 'At least I'm going to die trying.' I hit him and got out of the apartment,” Edwards said.

On November 28, 1994, while performing his janitorial duties in Columbia Correctional Institution, Dahmer was beaten to death with a broom handle by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver.

Six years after his arrest, alleged USS Cole bomber still awaits trial

On November 9, 2011, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri was finally arraigned by a military commission at Guantanamo Bay on charges of murder, terrorism and hijacking. His trial is not set to begin before November 2012, but is expected to be delayed by several months or even years later.

The accused terrorist has been in U.S. custody since 2006.

In August 2010, the Obama administration actually set aside the prosecution of al-Nashiri, the alleged mastermind behind the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.

The Justice Department filed a motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, stating that "no charges are either pending or contemplated with respect to al-Nashiri in the near future."

The statement was quietly hidden in a motion to dismiss a petition by Nashiri's attorneys, and of course, all but completely ignored by the mainstream press.

The move by the Obama administration to at least temporarily delay trial is a puzzling one since military prosecutors have been prepared to try Nashiri for months, and had planned to do so this summer.

On June 30, 2008, Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann announced charges against Nashiri for “organizing and directing” the bombing plot, and that the Defense Department would seek the death penalty against the Saudi national.

On October 12, 2000, while the USS Cole was anchored off the port of Aden, in Yemen, when a small boat filled with explosives pulled alongside the ship and the terrorists aboard, detonated their charges. The explosion ripped open a 40-by-40-foot hole in the ship's port side, killing 17 sailors and injuring another 39.

Those lost were:

Hull Maintenance Technician Second Class Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, 21, of Mechanicsville, Va.

Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer Richard Costelow, 35, of Morrisville, Pa.

Should Supreme Court justices have around-the-clock protection?

On Monday, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) announced that 73-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer was the victim of a home-invasion robbery last week while visiting his vacation home on the Caribbean island of Nevis in the West Indies.

The robbery took place on Thursday around 9:00 p.m. EST. Breyer, his wife Joanna and a few guests were home when a man with a machete entered the house and demanded cash.

According to SCOTUS spokeswoman Kathy Arberg, the robber got away with about $1,000 in cash.

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the harrowing ordeal.

The U.S. Marshals Service along with is the Supreme Court Police are reportedly assisting local authorities with the investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.

As this is only the latest incident in which a justice has been the target of criminals, it raises the question once again of whether or not Supreme Court Justices should have bodyguards at all times.

-In 2004, Justice David Souter was assaulted by a group of young men while he was jogging in Washington D.C.

-In 1996, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was mugged as she walked with her husband and daughter in Washington.

-In 1982, Justice Byron White was attacked while giving a speech in Utah.

While in D.C., if requested, all justices are provided with personal bodyguards from the U.S. Supreme Court Police Department, when justices travel they can be provided with a U.S. Marshal.

However, most never request special protection.

During an appearance on CBS This Morning, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller explained: “The U.S. Marshals would be glad to provide that protection, but the justices, when they go on vacation, don't want to be traveling on vacation with four burly guys standing in flowered shirts in the corner when they could be with themselves and their families and low-key.”

While the justices have been resistant to such protection, it may now simply be imposed upon them.

Teenager set ablaze in reported racial attack

Kansas City, MO â€" On Tuesday, a 13-year-old boy was doused with gasoline in front of his home and set ablaze. The victim was able to extinguish the flames himself before calling 911.

The boy was taken to Children's Mercy Hospital and treated in the hospital’s burn unit with first-degree burns to his face and head.

Lighting the gasoline “produced a large fireball burning the face and hair” according to the police report.

The victim’s mother, Melissa Coon told KMBC : “You could smell the burned skin. You could smell the burned hair. It was just horrible.”

Her son is back home now, but in addition to losing his eyelashes and eyebrows, doctors are concerned over the long term damage the fire may have done to his eyes and lungs.

As for the suspects, police have described them as black males, age 16.

Coon gave the following account of the incident: “They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door. [One of them] poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.’”

They apparently followed the victim home from East High School which is only two blocks form his home.

The attack is reportedly being investigated as a hate crime.

The family fearing further attacks, now plans to move and Coon says that her son will not be returning to East High School.

Sadly, she described the reaction from her younger son, saying: “My 5-year-old came in and asked me, ‘Mom, am I going to get set on fire today?’ I was in tears.”

According to police, both of the suspects have facial hair. One was wearing a blue hat, blue jacket, and shoes with the number 23 emblazoned on the side. The other was wearing a blue hat, a black jacket, and glasses.

Anyone with information on this case is urged to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

Milwaukee, WI â€" On Saturday, Bam Marketing and Media will begin giving guided tours of the area where notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer met many of his victims. The 90-minute tours will wind through the Walker's Point neighborhood that was once filled with gay bars which the killer frequented.

Many family members of Dahmer’s victims are upset over the tours and only got word of the new business venture when tour organizers offered discounted tickets on the popular website known as Groupon.com.

However, tour co-owner Amanda Morden recently told WISN 12 News: “There's also the Manson family tour in California and the Boston Strangler tour. This is not a unique product, but it is something that is new to the city. It's a different format of information provided.”

Bam Marketing and Media’s website ( http://dahmertours.ticketleap.com/dahmer-tours/#view=calendar) provides the following description of the Dahmer tour:  

“Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the nation's most notorious serial killers made Milwaukee his home. He didn't begin there, but he certainly left his everlasting imprint on a city that would rather forget he ever existed. Some bloodstains cannot be scrubbed clean, no matter what attempt to erase them. To meet them head on and explain their origins, rather than attempt to cover them, the Dahmer Tours have begun… The Dahmer Tours will walk you down the path that Milwaukee's monster had trod, giving you the only available inside view of his hunting grounds.”

The tours will run every Saturday beginning March 3 through June 30, with three tours given daily.

Dahmer was arrested on July 22, 1991, when a would-be victim, 32-year-old Tracy Edwards met the serial killer at a mall and went back with him to his Milwaukee apartment. After spending the evening drinking and watching movies together, Dahmer held a knife to Edwards.

Edwards was able to fight-off Dahmer and escape. With a handcuff dangling from his wrist, Edwards flagged down a police officer after fleeing the apartment and described how the killer tried to make him his next victim.

When police entered the apartment they discovered a virtual chamber of horrors.

Four severed heads were found, along with several body parts throughout the apartment. Acid-filled vats containing torsos and seven human skulls were also stored in Dahmer’s home.

It quickly became evident that Dahmer was actually consuming his victims’ organs. On the night of his arrest, a human heart was found in his freezer.

In 1992, Dahmer was convicted in the murders of 15 young men, between 1978 and 1991. He was sentenced to 15 life terms.

At his trial, Edwards testified: “At one point, he said he was going to eat my heart. For some reason, God told me not to let this guy handcuff me. He laid across me and put his head across my chest and was listening to my heart.”

“He had a knife at my groin. I said, 'At least I'm going to die trying.' I hit him and got out of the apartment,” Edwards said.

On November 28, 1994, while performing his janitorial duties in Columbia Correctional Institution, Dahmer was beaten to death with a broom handle by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver.

Should Supreme Court justices have around-the-clock protection?

On Monday, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) announced that 73-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer was the victim of a home-invasion robbery last week while visiting his vacation home on the Caribbean island of Nevis in the West Indies.

The robbery took place on Thursday around 9:00 p.m. EST. Breyer, his wife Joanna and a few guests were home when a man with a machete entered the house and demanded cash.

According to SCOTUS spokeswoman Kathy Arberg, the robber got away with about $1,000 in cash.

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the harrowing ordeal.

The U.S. Marshals Service along with is the Supreme Court Police are reportedly assisting local authorities with the investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.

As this is only the latest incident in which a justice has been the target of criminals, it raises the question once again of whether or not Supreme Court Justices should have bodyguards at all times.

-In 2004, Justice David Souter was assaulted by a group of young men while he was jogging in Washington D.C.

-In 1996, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was mugged as she walked with her husband and daughter in Washington.

-In 1982, Justice Byron White was attacked while giving a speech in Utah.

While in D.C., if requested, all justices are provided with personal bodyguards from the U.S. Supreme Court Police Department, when justices travel they can be provided with a U.S. Marshal.

However, most never request special protection.

During an appearance on CBS This Morning, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller explained: “The U.S. Marshals would be glad to provide that protection, but the justices, when they go on vacation, don't want to be traveling on vacation with four burly guys standing in flowered shirts in the corner when they could be with themselves and their families and low-key.”

While the justices have been resistant to such protection, it may now simply be imposed upon them.

Teenager set ablaze in reported racial attack

Kansas City, MO â€" On Tuesday, a 13-year-old boy was doused with gasoline in front of his home and set ablaze. The victim was able to extinguish the flames himself before calling 911.

The boy was taken to Children's Mercy Hospital and treated in the hospital’s burn unit with first-degree burns to his face and head.

Lighting the gasoline “produced a large fireball burning the face and hair” according to the police report.

The victim’s mother, Melissa Coon told KMBC : “You could smell the burned skin. You could smell the burned hair. It was just horrible.”

Her son is back home now, but in addition to losing his eyelashes and eyebrows, doctors are concerned over the long term damage the fire may have done to his eyes and lungs.

As for the suspects, police have described them as black males, age 16.

Coon gave the following account of the incident: “They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door. [One of them] poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.’”

They apparently followed the victim home from East High School which is only two blocks form his home.

The attack is reportedly being investigated as a hate crime.

The family fearing further attacks, now plans to move and Coon says that her son will not be returning to East High School.

Sadly, she described the reaction from her younger son, saying: “My 5-year-old came in and asked me, ‘Mom, am I going to get set on fire today?’ I was in tears.”

According to police, both of the suspects have facial hair. One was wearing a blue hat, blue jacket, and shoes with the number 23 emblazoned on the side. The other was wearing a blue hat, a black jacket, and glasses.

Anyone with information on this case is urged to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

Six years after his arrest, alleged USS Cole bomber still awaits trial

On November 9, 2011, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri was finally arraigned by a military commission at Guantanamo Bay on charges of murder, terrorism and hijacking. His trial is not set to begin before November 2012, but is expected to be delayed by several months or even years later.

The accused terrorist has been in U.S. custody since 2006.

In August 2010, the Obama administration actually set aside the prosecution of al-Nashiri, the alleged mastermind behind the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.

The Justice Department filed a motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, stating that "no charges are either pending or contemplated with respect to al-Nashiri in the near future."

The statement was quietly hidden in a motion to dismiss a petition by Nashiri's attorneys, and of course, all but completely ignored by the mainstream press.

The move by the Obama administration to at least temporarily delay trial is a puzzling one since military prosecutors have been prepared to try Nashiri for months, and had planned to do so this summer.

On June 30, 2008, Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann announced charges against Nashiri for “organizing and directing” the bombing plot, and that the Defense Department would seek the death penalty against the Saudi national.

On October 12, 2000, while the USS Cole was anchored off the port of Aden, in Yemen, when a small boat filled with explosives pulled alongside the ship and the terrorists aboard, detonated their charges. The explosion ripped open a 40-by-40-foot hole in the ship's port side, killing 17 sailors and injuring another 39.

Those lost were:

Hull Maintenance Technician Second Class Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, 21, of Mechanicsville, Va.

Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer Richard Costelow, 35, of Morrisville, Pa.

Mess Management Specialist Seaman Lakeina Monique Francis, 19, of Woodleaf, N.C.

Information Systems Technician Timothy Lee Gauna, 21, of Rice, Texas

Signalman Seaman Cherone Louis Gunn, 22, of Rex, Ga.

Seaman James Rodrick McDaniels, 19, of Norfolk, Va.

Engineman Second Class Marc Ian Nieto, 24, of Fond du Lac, Wis.

Electronics Warfare Technician Second Class Ronald Scott Owens, 24, of Vero Beach, Fla.

Seaman Lakiba Nicole Palmer, 22, of San Diego, Calif.

Engineman Fireman Joshua Langdon Parlett, 19, of Churchville, Md.

Fireman Patrick Howard Roy, 19, of Cornwall on Hudson, N.Y.

Electronics Warfare Technician First Class Kevin Shawn Rux, 30, of Portland, N.D.

Mess Management Specialist Third Class Ronchester Manangan Santiago, 22, Kingsville, Texas

Operations Specialist Second Class Timothy Lamont Saunders, 32, of Ringgold, Va.

Fireman Gary Graham Swenchonis Jr., 26, Rockport, Texas

Ensign Andrew Triplett, 31, of Macon, Miss.

Seaman Craig Bryan Wibberley, 19, of Williamsport, Md.

Jeffrey Dahmer walking tours to start this weekend

Milwaukee, WI â€" On Saturday, Bam Marketing and Media will begin giving guided tours of the area where notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer met many of his victims. The 90-minute tours will wind through the Walker's Point neighborhood that was once filled with gay bars which the killer frequented.

Many family members of Dahmer’s victims are upset over the tours and only got word of the new business venture when tour organizers offered discounted tickets on the popular website known as Groupon.com.

However, tour co-owner Amanda Morden recently told WISN 12 News: “There's also the Manson family tour in California and the Boston Strangler tour. This is not a unique product, but it is something that is new to the city. It's a different format of information provided.”

Bam Marketing and Media’s website ( http://dahmertours.ticketleap.com/dahmer-tours/#view=calendar) provides the following description of the Dahmer tour:  

“Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the nation's most notorious serial killers made Milwaukee his home. He didn't begin there, but he certainly left his everlasting imprint on a city that would rather forget he ever existed. Some bloodstains cannot be scrubbed clean, no matter what attempt to erase them. To meet them head on and explain their origins, rather than attempt to cover them, the Dahmer Tours have begun… The Dahmer Tours will walk you down the path that Milwaukee's monster had trod, giving you the only available inside view of his hunting grounds.”

The tours will run every Saturday beginning March 3 through June 30, with three tours given daily.

Dahmer was arrested on July 22, 1991, when a would-be victim, 32-year-old Tracy Edwards met the serial killer at a mall and went back with him to his Milwaukee apartment. After spending the evening drinking and watching movies together, Dahmer held a knife to Edwards.

Edwards was able to fight-off Dahmer and escape. With a handcuff dangling from his wrist, Edwards flagged down a police officer after fleeing the apartment and described how the killer tried to make him his next victim.

When police entered the apartment they discovered a virtual chamber of horrors.

Four severed heads were found, along with several body parts throughout the apartment. Acid-filled vats containing torsos and seven human skulls were also stored in Dahmer’s home.

It quickly became evident that Dahmer was actually consuming his victims’ organs. On the night of his arrest, a human heart was found in his freezer.

In 1992, Dahmer was convicted in the murders of 15 young men, between 1978 and 1991. He was sentenced to 15 life terms.

At his trial, Edwards testified: “At one point, he said he was going to eat my heart. For some reason, God told me not to let this guy handcuff me. He laid across me and put his head across my chest and was listening to my heart.”

“He had a knife at my groin. I said, 'At least I'm going to die trying.' I hit him and got out of the apartment,” Edwards said.

On November 28, 1994, while performing his janitorial duties in Columbia Correctional Institution, Dahmer was beaten to death with a broom handle by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver.

Should Supreme Court justices have around-the-clock protection?

On Monday, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) announced that 73-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer was the victim of a home-invasion robbery last week while visiting his vacation home on the Caribbean island of Nevis in the West Indies.

The robbery took place on Thursday around 9:00 p.m. EST. Breyer, his wife Joanna and a few guests were home when a man with a machete entered the house and demanded cash.

According to SCOTUS spokeswoman Kathy Arberg, the robber got away with about $1,000 in cash.

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the harrowing ordeal.

The U.S. Marshals Service along with is the Supreme Court Police are reportedly assisting local authorities with the investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.

During an appearance on CBS This Morning, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller explained: “The U.S. Marshals would be glad to provide that protection, but the justices, when they go on vacation, don't want to be traveling on vacation with four burly guys standing in flowered shirts in the corner when they could be with themselves and their families and low-key.”

While the justices have been resistant to such protection, it may now simply be imposed upon them.

Six years after his arrest, alleged USS Cole bomber still awaits trial

On November 9, 2011, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri was finally arraigned by a military commission at Guantanamo Bay on charges of murder, terrorism and hijacking. His trial is not set to begin before November 2012, but is expected to be delayed by several months or even years later.

The accused terrorist has been in U.S. custody since 2006.

In August 2010, the Obama administration actually set aside the prosecution of al-Nashiri, the alleged mastermind behind the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.

The Justice Department filed a motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, stating that "no charges are either pending or contemplated with respect to al-Nashiri in the near future."

The statement was quietly hidden in a motion to dismiss a petition by Nashiri's attorneys, and of course, all but completely ignored by the mainstream press.

The move by the Obama administration to at least temporarily delay trial is a puzzling one since military prosecutors have been prepared to try Nashiri for months, and had planned to do so this summer.

On June 30, 2008, Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann announced charges against Nashiri for “organizing and directing” the bombing plot, and that the Defense Department would seek the death penalty against the Saudi national.

On October 12, 2000, while the USS Cole was anchored off the port of Aden, in Yemen, when a small boat filled with explosives pulled alongside the ship and the terrorists aboard, detonated their charges. The explosion ripped open a 40-by-40-foot hole in the ship's port side, killing 17 sailors and injuring another 39.

Those lost were:

Hull Maintenance Technician Second Class Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, 21, of Mechanicsville, Va.

Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer Richard Costelow, 35, of Morrisville, Pa.

Mess Management Specialist Seaman Lakeina Monique Francis, 19, of Woodleaf, N.C.

Information Systems Technician Timothy Lee Gauna, 21, of Rice, Texas

Signalman Seaman Cherone Louis Gunn, 22, of Rex, Ga.

Seaman James Rodrick McDaniels, 19, of Norfolk, Va.

Engineman Second Class Marc Ian Nieto, 24, of Fond du Lac, Wis.

Electronics Warfare Technician Second Class Ronald Scott Owens, 24, of Vero Beach, Fla.

Seaman Lakiba Nicole Palmer, 22, of San Diego, Calif.

Engineman Fireman Joshua Langdon Parlett, 19, of Churchville, Md.

Fireman Patrick Howard Roy, 19, of Cornwall on Hudson, N.Y.

Electronics Warfare Technician First Class Kevin Shawn Rux, 30, of Portland, N.D.

Mess Management Specialist Third Class Ronchester Manangan Santiago, 22, Kingsville, Texas

Operations Specialist Second Class Timothy Lamont Saunders, 32, of Ringgold, Va.

Fireman Gary Graham Swenchonis Jr., 26, Rockport, Texas

Jeffrey Dahmer walking tours to start this weekend

Milwaukee, WI â€" On Saturday, Bam Marketing and Media will begin giving guided tours of the area where notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer met many of his victims. The 90-minute tours will wind through the Walker's Point neighborhood that was once filled with gay bars which the killer frequented.

Many family members of Dahmer’s victims are upset over the tours and only got word of the new business venture when tour organizers offered discounted tickets on the popular website known as Groupon.com.

However, tour co-owner Amanda Morden recently told WISN 12 News: “There's also the Manson family tour in California and the Boston Strangler tour. This is not a unique product, but it is something that is new to the city. It's a different format of information provided.”

Bam Marketing and Media’s website ( http://dahmertours.ticketleap.com/dahmer-tours/#view=calendar) provides the following description of the Dahmer tour:  

“Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the nation's most notorious serial killers made Milwaukee his home. He didn't begin there, but he certainly left his everlasting imprint on a city that would rather forget he ever existed. Some bloodstains cannot be scrubbed clean, no matter what attempt to erase them. To meet them head on and explain their origins, rather than attempt to cover them, the Dahmer Tours have begun… The Dahmer Tours will walk you down the path that Milwaukee's monster had trod, giving you the only available inside view of his hunting grounds.”

The tours will run every Saturday beginning March 3 through June 30, with three tours given daily.

Dahmer was arrested on July 22, 1991, when a would-be victim, 32-year-old Tracy Edwards met the serial killer at a mall and went back with him to his Milwaukee apartment. After spending the evening drinking and watching movies together, Dahmer held a knife to Edwards.

Edwards was able to fight-off Dahmer and escape. With a handcuff dangling from his wrist, Edwards flagged down a police officer after fleeing the apartment and described how the killer tried to make him his next victim.

When police entered the apartment they discovered a virtual chamber of horrors.

Four severed heads were found, along with several body parts throughout the apartment. Acid-filled vats containing torsos and seven human skulls were also stored in Dahmer’s home.

It quickly became evident that Dahmer was actually consuming his victims’ organs. On the night of his arrest, a human heart was found in his freezer.

In 1992, Dahmer was convicted in the murders of 15 young men, between 1978 and 1991. He was sentenced to 15 life terms.

At his trial, Edwards testified: “At one point, he said he was going to eat my heart. For some reason, God told me not to let this guy handcuff me. He laid across me and put his head across my chest and was listening to my heart.”

“He had a knife at my groin. I said, 'At least I'm going to die trying.' I hit him and got out of the apartment,” Edwards said.

On November 28, 1994, while performing his janitorial duties in Columbia Correctional Institution, Dahmer was beaten to death with a broom handle by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver.

Should Supreme Court justices have around-the-clock protection?

On Monday, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) announced that 73-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer was the victim of a home-invasion robbery last week while visiting his vacation home on the Caribbean island of Nevis in the West Indies.

The robbery took place on Thursday around 9:00 p.m. EST. Breyer, his wife Joanna and a few guests were home when a man with a machete entered the house and demanded cash.

According to SCOTUS spokeswoman Kathy Arberg, the robber got away with about $1,000 in cash.

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the harrowing ordeal.

The U.S. Marshals Service along with is the Supreme Court Police are reportedly assisting local authorities with the investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.

As this is only the latest incident in which a justice has been the target of criminals, it raises the question once again of whether or not Supreme Court Justices should have bodyguards at all times.

-In 2004, Justice David Souter was assaulted by a group of young men while he was jogging in Washington D.C.

-In 1996, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was mugged as she walked with her husband and daughter in Washington.

-In 1982, Justice Byron White was attacked while giving a speech in Utah.

While in D.C., if requested, all justices are provided with personal bodyguards from the U.S. Supreme Court Police Department, when justices travel they can be provided with a U.S. Marshal.

However, most never request special protection.
