They are out of the norm, basically anything that doesn’t seem normal interest us as humans, that is why I read about them or listen to them on the news. I just seem transfixed, and stand there while the tv is playing and tell myself…this isn’t true, people aren’t really like this. But, alas it is true. I seem to want to take my child and not let him stray too far after seeing or reading about serial killers, I become a bit paranoid.
We as humans hate fear, but we are seemed to be drawn to it. I don’t think any of us that don’t have the serial killer profile/character condone what they do by watching them or reading about them. We’re just drawn to the abnormal. I watch the television series,
“Dexter” and find myself rooting for him, hoping he gets away with it. I guess, because his character is more of a vigilante killer. I want justice, but it’s too bad someone has to die because of it. They’d be more justice if they rotted in a prison cell, but who knows, these people could get out and do it again. The world is just messed up. But, nevertheless we are drawn to the messed up.
Just a note: statistics that I have read, state the majority of serial killers are white, heterosexual, average intelligence and are from lower to middle income. Interesting, to say the least.
