Okay gonna go slightly off-topic here but it still slightly relates to Rapeface McGee here; the whole 'pedophile' community thing is a real issue in other parts of the US. In order to move into a neighborhood as a registered sex offender you have to go door to door and inform everyone about it plus you have to put a sign in your yard informing everyone about what a sick deviant you are. Problem is in places where there's neighborhood committees these people can quickly find themselves shunned and run out of viable places to live. Thing is a registered offender needs a place to live; otherwise you can't keep track of where he is in the first place. In some areas its so bad they've essentially become invisible.

Prison sounds nice. Once convicted, these people should just be held indefinitely.

In California violent sexual predators are kept in a mental facility after they get out of prison until it can be proved they are not a threat to society. (Which is until they complete a nearly impossible rehabilitation program that promotes physical castration.)

If had raped that girl in California (during the 2000s) he would be in a max security mental hospital until proven not to be a risk to society.

As of April 2009 the facility had released only 13 inmates in its history.
 
No one probably gives a shit but the reason for his creepy ass face would probably be because of the fact that schizophrenics have deadened facial expressions. But because most want to fit in and not be discovered, they end up faking, or approximating the facial expressions they see on the rest of society. Depending on how stable you are, it can either turn out like this dude, or so convincing you wouldn't notice it usually. No doubt this dude thinks he's fooling everyone with that creepy face of his

Also echolalia is a symptom of certain subtypes of schizophrenia, and so that's probs why he's repeating certain phrases. They probably turned up with the intrusive voices and became obsessive speech. Dude's either, by my amateur analysis, a disorganized or undifferentiated schizo, which would explain the way he goes quickly from one thought to another (which is common with most schizophrenics but especially prevalent in disorganized subtypes)

Undifferentiated schizophrenia (which is when you experience symptoms from paranoid, catatonic, and disorganized schizophrenia) shares many similar symptoms with autism, as an interesting aside.
 
Slight off-topic but the sex-offender village thing is not omnipresent; and not all localities require door to door canvassing for sex offenders to move in. I actually am not sure of any that do for offenders, maybe for predators (there is a distinction, at least in my state). Probably is a policy somewhere to do that, though.

I do work with sex offenders in a professional capacity and here if they don't have family support of some sort, they often just live in the woods. It isn't unusual for them to group together, although "villages" here are unheard of and it is more likely to see a few living on the same street instead. They often group up for self preservation as much as anything else- nobody is happy to have a sex offender nearby and people will direct violence and vandalism at them. I know of four that live in tents in the woods behind their relatives' homes as they are not allowed inside (although they were registered and curfewed to that address). That's out of a bit under 45 actively supervised offenders/ predators in my county, although many offenders remain on GPS monitoring for the rest of their life even after their probationary periods end.

To bring it back on topic, it may just be due to the technology available at the time of conviction, but I would assume that Bulla would qualify for lifetime monitoring were he prosecuted today. He is obviously unstable (you don't need a professional diagnosis to make that determination) and delusional. The question is what form a true mental breakdown will take for him- someone like him does not appear to have close family ties, and unless he goes and tries to feel up a little girl at Walmart I think his outlet is more likely to be self harm.

I base that on nothing more than personal observation of similarly unusual schizophrenic sex offenders, most of whom turned to minor self mutilation, sometimes inadvertent, some who abuse medication, and one who indeed did attempt to feel up some little girl at Walmart after about 6 years of unremarkable lawful behavior. It may even come in the form of self-induced malnutrition- if paranoia runs rampant these people will sometimes refuse or forget to eat for extended periods. I have seen that quite a lot lately, especially following any interruption of their welfare benefits. While not twitter crazy like this guy, they were similarly crazy in other ways. I also demanded that they curtail or completely stop the use of social media, they attend regular therapy, and that I was aware of any interruption in their medical or therapy service. If one of my offenders was making posts like Bulla, I would attempt to get his family to commit him if I could not get him to do it himself, and failing that would restrict his Internet access via court order, which can be done in many cases. I don't believe this guy's twitter rants serve any positive end for his psyche; I doubt they are cathartic but probably re-enforcing his fucked mindset instead. However, they are undoubtedly hilarious, and by no means do I personally discourage them, because I long since accepted a big part of the reason I enjoy working around such spectacular fuck ups is because of an insatiable personal appetite for schadenfreude. I merely mean to provide context, not dissuade any farming.

I have no sympathy for sex offenders in general (although it is important to realize that much of what they do was done to them as well, and that early life experiences often are a huge red flag indicating emerging deviant behavior), and certainly none for Mr Bulla, who is an exceptionally scummy individual who just happens to also be crazy. I would not suggest that he is representative of sex offenders, but he isn't that far removed from many either- he just happens to have an odd twitter fascination, and his account has somehow avoided termination.

All sex offenders are at a high risk of reoffending statistically, however based on how cloistered Bulla is from polite society, or at least so it seems from the scant picture we get, we are probably about as safe from him as it is possible to be without locking him in a padded room. His low level of function would impede any sort of dastardly plan he might concoct, although I wouldn't be surprised if he had a capacity for some level of violence if cornered or forced... but then again, so does just about anybody.

This is one lolcow I could see as being violent.
The thing about sex offenders is that they rarely do it once. Child molesters rarely have a single victim over the course of their offending so I wouldn't be surprised if this guy ruined some other poor child's life before his ex's daughter.
Of course, it could have been, while no less disgusting, a crime of opportunity. He happened to have a child around so he offended. If that's the case, then I'd say he probably won't harm anyone else unless presented with the opportunity such as dating a woman with a daughter, which we know is not happening. Period. Of course, no one can really know 100% sure unless something happens or does not happen.

TL;DR this guy could be dangerous or could just be crazy. I'm really hoping it's the latter.

I've mentioned this before in other threads, but my Dad worked for the Department of Corrections and spent most of it working at halfway houses. Easily 90% of the residents at the men's halfway houses were sex offenders, and a large number of them were pedophiles. The repeat offenders were nearly always the pedos. There just isn't any way to fix a pedophile. Many of the pedophiles where Dad worked were right back in prison shortly after they left the halfway house, and some of them would offend again WHILE in the halfway house. Even those who were "fixed" via court ordered chemical castration would offend again. They're wired wrong and can't be helped, and therefore should not be allowed in society. Pedophiles should be removed from society, one way or the other, permanently. Hearing about these monsters and the damage they do from my Dad is part of why I loathe them so much, but not the only reason.
 
I'm sure he and Roketsune would get along great. They can talk about the kids they've diddled.

Also, I can't wait for the inevitable day he gets incarcerated again and there's confetti all over the forums again.

I'd rather for a more painful end to him (and all kiddie diddlers), but lifetime incarceration among regular hardened criminals for them to see how pedophiles are treated in prison will suffice.

I know we're operating at amateur armchair level but what are the chances that his pedophilia manifested as part of his schizophrenia?
 
Has anyone here read his website? Holy shit. He wrote a bible.

It looks like a collection of the supposed messages of "John the Baptist" to Otto Fetting and W. A. Draves who supposedly saw this guy repeatedly over the course of many years. Religious nutjobbery at it's finest. Not that surprised to see this hosted on another religious nutjob's website.

I think it's not entirely schizophrenia-based, but that it doesn't help in the slightest

While everyone's biased to their own experiences (like the way we unconsciously see ourselves as being the victims, to varying degrees), with schizophrenics and similarly delusional people with such illnesses, it gets really bad, really quickly

So I'd say he's a pervert in the first place. But that he might have had genuine delusions of this girl 'seducing him' (ugh I hate even typing that), either in the moment, or afterwards. Schizophrenia is a serious illness that wrecks your brain, so your memory is fucked. So in the moment he might have known it was wrong, but his brain essentially re-wrote his memories to make him seem vindicated. Or even to say it never happened at all, and that it's a plot by whatever entity or people play the villains in his delusions.

Btw, as a quick question, what was his early life like? Naturally occurring schizophrenia is extremely rare, it's usually caused by drug abuse, though I believe I saw some studies that imply that sexual abuse can as well, if certain circumstances are met (like genetics already fucked the person up and the sexual abuse just made it go even worse). So I'm wondering what he was up to. He seems like a case very unlikely to be natural

Psychosis is usually caused by drug abuse. Schizophrenia is not strictly psychosis.

Part of the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia is to rule out drug abuse as the source of psychosis. Memory problems do not occur with all people with schizophrenia.

"The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a
drug of abuse, a medication) or another medical condition."(p.137)
It is also absent from "Risk and Prognostic Factors" section as well.

I'm inclined to believe he developed schizophrenia while in the slammer, but that's just me. Spending 10 years in the slammer and getting shanked however many times can do stuff to you.

The most common age bracket to develop schizophrenia is between ages age 16 and 25. Part of his story seems to suggest that he had developed schizophrenia prior to jailtime

I'm not a doctor, but schizophrenia is definitely counted as a psychotic disorder

And I'm not talking about psychosis as induced by drug abuse. What can happen is if you fuck up too badly with drugs, it can essentially break your brain. Don't know too much about the details, but an example I heard specifically was a young man who abused ecstasy, and one day overdosed. He woke up essentially with chemical schizophrenia. So while drug-induced psychosis is definitely a thing, if you're not careful drugs can basically send you down the road of chemical schizophrenia. It's much more common, from what I hear, than naturally occurring cases.

Psychosis, strictly speaking, is a state of mind.
Schizophrenia is a disease that involves Psychosis.
Chemical schizophrenia is not a psychiatric term. All schizophrenia involves chemicals in the brain.
The difference between psychosis and schizophrenia is schizophrenia lasts longer than 6 months.

Drug induced psychosis does exist, but drugs are usually thought to be a trigger for people predisposed to schizophrenia.
