Ok. I think I understand that things are simpler than others think they are.
First things first: the ladies.
All the experts think that there has to be some aggression, some hatred even, towards women collectively for serial killers to target them and I believe that this is erroneous. Serial killers that target women are straight: they are turned on by women. They like to see women in those situations because women are attractive to them then. They have types, not because of a hatred towards a certain individual, but because everyone has a type; some people prefer redheads, some brunettes, long hair, short hair, athletic, etc. No one prefers blondes. Simple, right?
I mean, what about John Wayne Gacy? Did he have a hatred for boys? No, he was a homosexual. A reluctant one, this is true, but whatever. Jeff Dahmer? He killed guys. He liked guys, dammit. No hatred, just sexual attraction.
And now arrogance. I think that a lot of the time certain crime scenes, certain environments are labelled as taunting or criticizing related individuals, such as with BTK and that church that he attended being a crime scene. I think it was a familiar haunt. He went there all the time. Since he was branching out of his normal MO, it would only make sense to retain that one instance of comfort amidst all the newness.
Sure, they're taunting, arrogant people, but I think sometimes people are too quick to shift them into a psychological category rather than really understand them.
They're people, guys. It's just that somewhere, somehow, their basic wants and needs as human beings got distorted and confused.
I mean, haven't you ever been so angry at someone that you really thought, I mean really thought, about killing them? It doesn't make you bad. I mean damn, I had a Kill List in middle school.
Middle school was awful, btw, and I always hoped those guys from Columbine would shoot up my school and if I went first, hey, I wasn't suffering anymore.
It surely does give you a feeling of power, man. Of control. But those were just thoughts- fantasies, if you will, that would never cross that threshold into reality.
I don't think that just thinking those thoughts and linking them with sex will a serial killer make.
I, for instance, do not find it sexually stimulating to think of killing. Actually, it's quite a turn-off. It cannot be a forced association. You can't see it enough to find it exciting unless you already had a predisposition for it.
Born with it, maybe.
I don't know. I'm no expert on it and thank God for that because I'd be terrible at it.
w000000t!
