serial killers are allways

white, im shocked

 

[Dan Murphy]

Shocked about what?

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Tha's cuz this may be classified as a mass murderer and not a serial killer, wonder what the stats are on that

 

[browneyes]

For the record, I'm white and I'm not a serial killer.

Have you ever watched Conspiracy Theory? Mel states a good point in that. Most serial killers go by their first, middle and last names, too. Instead of just their first and last. (I go by my first and last name, also. )

 

[JasonLyons]

im white but dont use middle name, , so Im safe

 

[browneyes]

Thank goodness.

 

[betz]

Why is this so shocking to you?
Did you think they would all be Samoan?

 

[browneyes]

Betz, I guess it would be shocking for you to know most serial killers are NOT women.

 

[JohnTBap]

I go by my first, middle, and last name!!!

I see your point, Jason.

Oh my! See my last post on this thread (before this one).

I thought we had established that I am a MAN playing a WOMAN. hehehe

 

[Bumbles]

we just executed a female serial killer.

 

[browneyes]

Bumbles, I didn't say there weren't any women serial killers. It's just rare. It's also rare for a woman to be executed whereas a man can do the same crime the woman did and be executed toute suite.

JTB, don't confuse me so early in the mornings.

I would like to apologize to any Samoans that I may have offended in my post.
Having been an upstanding member of the Pango Pango Yacht Club since 1982, I can truly say I have never met a Samoan I have not liked.
They graciously share the their island with us, even though we occupy 1/2 of it as a U.S. territory.
And they think everyday is Christmas.

Jason, what about that guy in Atlanta who strangled all those black boys about 20 years ago??

He was black. His last name was Williams, I believe.

Can anyone help me out with more details???

 

[mickeyfan29]

why does it matter what color they are? It worries me more that they sympathize with what happened on September 11th.

Honestly, I was surprised too. This case is going to change the art of profiling fundamentally. The vast majority of snipers and serial killers in the last thirty years have been white middle-aged men. It used to be that profilers could safely assume that a white man was guilty in these cases. The serial killer in Florida - Aileen Wuornos - very interesting case because it was so odd. There has not been another female serial killer like her before or since. She even has a Lifetime movie due to the rarity of her situation. The killer in Atlanta - Wayne Williams - classic pedophile who went way off the deep end. He was probably the only black serial killer of note in recent history, until today.

It's not a racist reaction to assume that a serial killer is probably white and male. It's just extrapolation from history, and I want to point out that these extrapolations have resulted in some darned accurate profiles through time.

 

[browneyes]

Very well said Dana.

 

[Serena]

I agree, thanks dana.


Boy that's what I meant to say, but somehow it wouldn't have come out sounding so smart.

 

[Deb in IA]

Wayne Williams, that's it. Thanks, dana.
