Like I said last week, this guy's going to get at least 2 more kills before he's caught/killed. I have to admit, he's good at what he does and is smart enough to avoid being caught so far.

My condolences to the victims' families.

he's never going to be captured. . Only if he brags to someone or he makes a serious mistake.

This is an easy crime to get away with. I could get away with it.

There are a significant number of people at my school who are somewhat rooting for this guy. The media is really making him look pretty badass.

Have you told those people what jackasses they are?

I thought that Alberta was just like Texas, only colder?

Well not really saying they are glad he is killing people, but they just find it compelling that some guy is doing such a good job at killing random people. Randomness is kinda becoming a fad.

Not quite. Alberta is like the Texas of Canada in that it's the most conservative, but that just means we're rather centrist in the US. Texas is way out there compared to us.

Why did you have to go and threadjack a serious topic?

So killing random people is somehow morally defensible while just killing people isn't? Anyone who is cheering him on, especially if it's just because it's "random," is disgusting and needs a reality check.

Randomness makes him seem more interesting. I mean, people near a craft store, people pumping gas. Completely random. It wouldn't be so interesting if there seem to be some sort of plan.

[Jon Miller]

it is the fascination with chaos and destruction that some people have

since he has no plan, he seems interesting becuase he is nothign but destructive, for the reason of being destructive

While I'm not cheering him on and certainly don't condone murder of any sort, I must admit that I am finding this fascinating. The randomness, the fact that he knows what he's doing, and the media reactions to it make it interesting.

EDIT:

It sure didn't take long for T-Shirt Hell to get a design up based on this:

Yeah, it's interesting. We're all interested, that's why we opened this thread. It's also horrific, animalistic, pyschotic and tragic. It's not in any way cool.

I'm interested to the point of wanting to see him tortured in the most insanely painful ways as he obviously can only be hurt in physical ways because he is not a human being.
