19. The Deadly Buffoon
Beneath Gaddafi’s buffoonish look and cuckoo philosophy, however, was a brutal dictator whose regime engaged in repression, torture, murder, and sundry human rights violations. Among his vices was the habit of ordering women kidnapped off the street, including teenaged girls. He then had them taken to one of his many palaces, to have his way with them.
One of his numerous victims was kept imprisoned in his basement for six years. He forced her to watch pornography while snorting cocaine with him, and repeatedly raped, urinated on, and subjected her to sundry perversions. Gaddafi was finally overthrown in a popular uprising in 2011. Captured by rebels, he was tortured, and probably sodomized, before he was brutally killed.
