Every year news reports spend more and more time talking about murders even if the murder rate is static. Oh great, I can be sniped anywhere at anytime, thanks for the uplifting news.
These people have to think in the mind of the serial killer. The only reason he or she's killing is for the attention. The newscasters play right into the killer's hands
Once he's caught, that's when things get sticky. For some reason, many people don't like it when the government kills proven murderers. I don't get it. He still has to rot his life away in jail anyway (which costs over $100 000 in taxpayers' money a year, might I add). Who wants to live life without liberty? I wouldn't.
That's another thing: prison. Apparantly if you take an already psychotic killer and throw him in a dark cell for 30 years, he'll somehow come out a changed man.
I'll tell you one thing, if he killed enough people and did it in a some clever and violent way, he's definately coming out that cell a rich man. That's because for whatever reason, people are fascinated by serial killers and will buy their books, while true classics like George Orwell's 1984 go underappreciated. If all you guys want are psychotic ramblings, I'm giving them away for free.
There's also a trillion thriller-horror-suspense movies that revolve around serial killers. My favourite are the ones where there's a serial killer that only kills serial killers, so all the critical thinkers out there can observe some crafty moral delemmas that were brilliantly embedded in the film. "Well on one hand, he shouldn't be killing them, but on the other hand, those serial killers do deserve it".
Ugh.
