This is some pathetic shit. Dude was going around killing sleeping homeless people with a metal pipe. BTW possession of weed? Doesn't that "mellow you out?" or something? If so, his dealer is ripping him off! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crim...n-using-metal-pipe/ar-AAImT5v?ocid=spartandhp
I don't understand why the killer was hell-bent on killing homeless. Well glad they stopped him anyway. Damn what a way to die.
The homeless are disposable people. The United States is particularly bad for it, though it can happen anywhere, but people who don't have money, who don't have homes, who don't have the basic necessities, they're seen as losers, as leeches, as cancers on society. Homeless people are spoken in terms of sickness, as if they're a communicable disease that has to be stopped before everyone is infected. There are a myriad number of reasons why someone is homeless, but most often the notion is that they're just lazy drug addicts who aren't worth consideration. It is terrible, and our society is at fault for that part of it. I cannot remember for some reason.
There's an unofficial police term "no humans involved." It's applied to marginalized members of society by police and others, and all too frequently, it means that abuses which have been inflicted upon those people (robberies, assaults, murder, etc) won't be investigated because the police don't think that the victim is deserving of such things. In fact, the series of books entitled "The Poor Man's James Bond" suggested that you try out any of the weapons, poisons, etc., that you create based on the book on homeless people, because you won't have to worry about police trying to find who did it. This is what the consequences are of listening to the spittle sprayers who scream about people being animals or perverts or anything else that doesn't recognize that even the most heinous of those amongst us are human beings. Right now, at least 18 trans black women have been murdered in the US since the start of this year. Most of whom died in a small geographic region (southeastern US). To me, it sounds like there's a serial killer at work. Someone who probably has to travel those states as part of their job, but the police seem to be treating all of them as separate incidences if they're bothering to investigate them at all.
Kind of my point. 40 percent of murders went unsolved in the US in 2017. How many of those do you think involved rich white people, and how many of them do you think involved were people who weren't rich or white?
It also comes down to what sells, media, social media, what gets picked up on. The white girl that went missing in the Bahamas or whatever, that was on international news. But the several girls that weren't white were mentioned as an after thought, barely, on some new sites, I don't recall them being mentioned on any broadcast news. Simply put, and even on here it's a joke, people only care if "is/was she hot?" or "was he a good kid/have everything going for him/he had/has a scholarship for this or that sport". Several years ago 30 or so seniors trashed their school as a senior prank. They did some $40k worth of damage. On Facebook and a local BBS people were saying that there valedictorian, even though he was involved and was one of the ones that caused the worst damage shouldn't be charged. The reasoning was he's a kid and didn't know better, had a great future, etc.. Yet nothing was said of the other kids involved.
Serial killers frequently target homeless people and prostitutes for a number of reasons, they are easy to dehumanise and see as worthless investigations are likely to be less motivated and not pushed by distressed relatives their absence is less likely to be noted/reported due to limited social networks and chaotic lifestyles they are vulnerable due to their physical isolation and exposure late at night they are commonly physically diminished they are more likely to be misinterpreted as victims of more mundane violent crime a killer can easily convince themselves their actions are "noble" in that what they are doing is akin to pest control they are portrayed as being a menace to society and essentially less worthy by the media
many murders go unsolved because witnesses won't cooperate with the police. Google it if you don't believe me - it's a fact, and googling it will have experts explaining why this is better than I can explain it. That said killing innocent people like this guy did is mindless, senseless evil full stop.
I didn't, but the point I made was more general about the patterns serial killers tend to show rather than some specific insight into a case I know essentially nothing about.
