On the heels of the brand new Netflix collection “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” — which has stirred loads of controversies — there is a swell of public help to erect a tribute to Dahmer’s victims in Milwaukee. While Mayor Cavalier Johnson is on board with that idea, we have discovered he is frightened in regards to the potential for a memorial to turn into a mecca for Dahmer followers. Creepy, however yeah, they exist.

Mayor Johnson’s communication director, Jeff Fleming, tells TMZ … the mayor needs to do one thing to honor the victims’ households, however Milwaukee needs to keep away from making a “ghoulish destination for troubled fans” in search of any motive to have fun Dahmer.

The concern, we’re informed, is placing the victims’ households by means of extra trauma.

It’s a well-known drawback in Milwaukee, the place Dahmer was born and raised and the place lots of his murders have been carried out … primarily in an condo constructing that is now an empty lot.

We’re informed there’s been a acutely aware effort in Milwaukee through the years to basically scrub any connections to Dahmer — all his belongings have been burned, and even the manufacturing unit the place he labored has been demolished.
