2 people who regularly interacted with Jeffrey Dahmer share thoughts on new show

A series on Jeffrey Dahmer – the man known for terrorizing Milwaukee - will be released early Wednesday morning on Netflix. It includes 10 episodes. It’s called “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” Millions of people around the world will watch it. But many people in our area are choosing not to turn it on. For them, Dahmer’s reign of terror still hits too close to home. “As someone who lived through it, I will not be watching,” said Scott Gunkel, an LGBTQ activist who worked at Milwaukee gay bar frequented by Dahmer. “It brings back some trauma for the LGBTQ community here. Especially those who knew the victims. They all had families. It’s unfortunate they keep having to see these new movies and series come out.
