Grrr
Don Rimer was called in as a special investigator last month for the Richard McCroskey quadruple homicide case by the Virginia State Police Department. Rimer will take a break from the investigation and host a special presentation on ritual crimes on Sun., Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. at Farmville United Methodist Church.
The presentation will enlighten attendees about how the occult influences music, art and other vehicles of culture. Rimer commonly refers to the occult as the "New Youth Subculture." Rimer's main focus will be how these influences corrupt the lives of teenagers. He will concentrate on several groups of the occult, including witchcraft, Satanism, and goth culture. The McCroskey case is centered on Satanic rituals, according to media reports and symbols left at the crime scene, as well as the music that McCroskey was involved in. Rimer wants to educate parents the best he can to prevent tragedies along the line of what Farmville has endured from happening again.
Rimer was called in for what some view as obvious reasons. As an investigator with the Virginia Beach Police Department, he viewed countless crime scenes, many of which were somewhat horrific in nature. He called the scene on 505 First Avenue a "slaughterhouse." This was not a description, but as an analogy to the most severe homicides he has seen first-hand. "You can't stand in the middle of four people bludgeoned to death and not be standing in a slaughterhouse. It's an analogy. A description of what they were standing in," said Rimer.
This particular homicide case is new territory for Rimer. During an Oct. 6 interview, he said, during all of his years of experience, he has never been involved in anything of such magnitude as this case, most particular since it involves the Horrorcore music genre. The genre, which Rimer said he is very aware of, was a lifestyle for McCroskey. He recorded under an independent label, Serial Killin' Records, under the name "Syko Sam." Rimer will speak on the dangers of this Horrorcore genre and how many parents overlook its consequences on young teens' lives. Rimer said that most parents see the genre as a "fad," which will simply pass with time. "Once they are into it, they become addicted," he said.
Rimer has a 22 year history in the field of ritual crimes. In 1996, he served as a consultant to the Virginia Governor's Task Force on Ritual Crime. He has appeared on numerous television programs including "The 700 Club," The Montel Williams Show," and Fox News. Rimer also co-authored an article entitled ,"Vulnerable Goth Teens" which appeared in the American School Health Association's "Journal of School Health" last year.
Nice,wonder if he's a member of Westboro Baptist Church too.
I sort of wish people like Mr Rimer would do a little bit of digging into what goth culture or Satanism or Occultisim or Paganisim are really about before they went around "educating" people on what these cultures are like.
Here is a link to the article that he co-wrote last year.
Just so you know why I'm unhappy with him lecturing people on a topic which he knows very little about.
