The more famous serial killers i barely remember even a bit of were described as social animals, charismatic and highly adept at manipulation.

All cars have wheels. Not everything with wheels is a car.

Yeah, but the problem is... You need to leave home to be a serial killer. Well, no wait. I mean to be a good one. I think if you kept inviting people to your house and killing them, it would be a bit of an easy trail to follow. So, being a successful serial killer is too much work.

I'll do it tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow.

That plus a brain defect that makes them think that ending a life is okay. All the other shuts-ins just play a lot of video games.

If you averaged out every serial killer, you end up with someone that is remarkably just like me. I've learned this isn't a bit of trivia to mention during job interviews.

Oh are we supposed to be playing video games? I’ve been digging this pit in my basement…

Assuming it's not for people or animals, enjoy your pit. Make sure you put supports in.

The average person discovers he is average.

Serial killers skew white, male, under middle age, have a developmental trauma, tend to work alone, have impulse control issue, lack of empathy and manipulative behavior. As compared to the general populace.

Milwaukee police have entered the chat.

Come back "tomorrow"

Welp ☠️
Then I wish you the best. I guess?

I read the wiki article on dahmer before posting this, that was a mistake. CW on that article, nasty stuff , guy was really messed up.

I have killed 0 so far. One or two should be fine. How many to make you a serial killer? Bout 5 or 6 maybe?

Serial killers skew white

This is one of those times where racism strikes again. Serial killers also skew towards killing those like them, so guess what was ignored for a long time? Right, suspicious deaths of black individuals, meaning our 'tracking' of serial killers had some pretty large dearths.

I suspect this would change a bit, if you separate serial killers from mass shooters.

Serial killers need to plan out what they are doing, to not get caught. They can often hide behind a mask of charisma.

Mass shooters fit this quite well. It's also the exact behaviour I would expect from someone trapped in an untenable situation. The pressure builds until something happens. In a few of those people, it is via anger and rage against those they feel wronged them.

1 group is likely naturally broken, to some degree. The other is broken by modern society.

That's just because they picked it up from us Americans. Like the lions that learned gay sex.

And Des Plaines police.

Mass shooters and serial killers are two separate things.

Isn't a serial killer defined as a murderer with at least 3 victims? Or have I fallen for TV culture

Haha... haha.... hahahahaha

Documentary serial killer:

Actual serial killer:

He better be in season 3 😭

holy shit, that reminds me, I gotta finish that show. I was watching it, then completely forgot i was watching it, then haven't been back #JustADHDThings

Oh shit, the FBI is on to me, brb gonna make sure the bodies in my backyard are well hidden

Gacy? that you?

It is, but it's different from a spree killer in that the killings are spaced out, and follow a specific methodology and victim type (although there are some exceptions).

Serial was used because when the term was coined serial movies were a thing, which is kinda like the equivalent of the limited series on streaming platforms now. Basically the killings were episodic.

What show is it? Looks fucking awesome

My guess is twisted metal? Forgot it was a thing but the games were sick

If you averaged out every serial killer, you end up with someone that is remarkably just like me. I’ve learned this isn’t a bit of trivia to mention during job interviews.

... but it's a cracking ice-breaker on a first date!

yup. that’s the one.

Interesting implication, that black people aren't Americans.

Thanks for noticing. I was changing what I was thinking on the fly, going for something flippant and hopefully funny, kinda lost where I was initially going, and landed on a bit racist and bigoted. Alcohol may have also been involved, so I couldn't work up the motivation to add in a few more groups without going all word salad, or over the top.
