It's rare for the media to use the term "serial killer" these days.

[TheDevilRullz]

Now they use this expression in a very specific case to give more attention, but I think that nowadays there are much more than before, there are people from Cartels with 400 deaths on their hands, people from gangs being arrested with 20 homicides, I saw it in some documentary that today's media avoids calling a serial killer as much as possible to give people a "sense of security", but the number of killers with a lot of deaths on their backs is only increasing everywhere. What do you think?

I see where you are coming from, but a serial killer is a whole thing in itself.
You have the school shooters, those are spree killers.
You have war killings, I'd say cartels woukd be lumped in there, they're sort of inherent to your profession.
You have your religious killings, like cults or suicide killings.
Serial killers have an urge, a certain MO, etc. They cannot be put into other categories.

Gang members with 20 kills under their belt likely killed other gang members, which society doesn't count as the same thing as being a serial killer, that's just called gang violence. A serial killer, as we would define it, is a person who simply kills for the sake of it, usually just random civilians who aren't engaged in anything criminal, just people going about their day. If a cartel gang member who has killed 20 other gang members encounters a random civilian they most likely aren't going to kill them, so they aren't the same as a serial killer.

Yes, but for example, people from gangs and cartels or common criminals often don't kill just because they are against a rival gang. For example, in a cell phone theft where the person has already handed over the cell phone and the guy still shoots, in the killer's mind "I'm going to kill because I like it, gaining something is even better", he simply could have chosen someone to kill. killing and calling it robbery is just an excuse and so in the end he committed several robberies followed by death by the law but in fact he is a serial killer. And I also think that these excuses can be used to not characterize the serial killer as really a serial killer.

Joining with my answer above, so I think it's a way for them to have less weight on their conscience, imagine a lot of excuses like "they went to the wrong place, they resisted, they looked like a person but weren't, they owed me money" and even in law it is a less severe sentence if they are caught than "I kill because I like it".

Maybe because the media wants to further the imaginary "quiet white kid" thing instead of the "crazy poor person with a knife" thing.

Murder is very real in the United States, but it isn't committed by rich white people.

I agree with you 50% because it depends on the place... Man, I live in Brazil and here is great proof that there is no race or financial issue to kill someone, everything is for interests, for example: all the politicians here have connections with the criminal factions including the president... They don't kill, but they order people to kill.

The title is: The number of maniac victims in São Paulo rises to seven. He only looks for women and there are already seven of them... How is this not a serial killer? Why don't they call him what he really is? I didn't even look for this and it appeared by chance, it's from 1 month ago. There's a lot more out there.

Cartels with 400 deaths on their hands, people from gangs being arrested with 20 homicides

Serial killers torture, fuck and eat people for their own amusement I dont think it applies to strung out junkies working for cartels killing people in ridiculous ways to put fear into the other cartel that does the same thing. Those guys are sociopaths. Serial killers are usually a true psychopath.

The USA is a country of 300 million people, where at one time serial murders and kidnapping carried out by one person were very fashionable.
These were usually either frustrated and mentally ill heterosexual or homosexual men murderers and were usually white in race.
I just looked on the FBI website, they are looking for only just 123 missing persons, some of whom are already dead based on the descriptions
I find this US number to be very small, because in our country there are far from that many people, but 2,488 disappearances were reported in our country, at the same time the police declared in 2023 that "there are currently no unsolved crimes in the country".
I don't know where the police spokesperson got this from at the press conference, when among the 2,488 disappearances, there could be many murders

Sounds like Sovjet Russia, where they refused to acknowledge serial killers because 'great communist Russia doesn't have people like that.' Leading to many victims. I think it was the Chessboard killer or somesuch.

In Brazil, I dunno, they should care if innocents get killed IMO, instead of people voluntarily consorting in the drug trade. But corruption is a bitch and human life is worth shit.

I went to a soccer match in Brazil once. They told us we had to leave afterwards, right away, because there usually are riots and random victims. They do not care if you are a tourist or not, they don't even care for their own. No rubber bullets there.

On the contrary, in Brazil, if an innocent person dies, the person protected by "human rights" is the murderer, the innocent person has no type of defense or help.

Cereal Killer…get it?

View attachment 833373

you beat me too it!
i asked the cop why all the police cars, amberlamps and crime scene tape. he said a body was found with Cocoa Puffs, Cap'n Crunch and Lucky Charms in its ass. he said it was the work of a cereal killer.

King Von was a serial killer. When even gangbanging rappers are serial killers, the tag becomes far less sensational. Besides, even the Clintons could be considered serial killers, considering the amount of killings that has happened to their "friend base" after they fell out of favor. Swings and roundabouts, and the MSM can't crow too loud about certain genres of criminals, lest they are forced to shine a light on their paymasters.

thats because serial killer has almost always been reserved for people who do multiple attacks at different locations or times and do it again and again (or like how they get their name, in a SERIALIZED fashion)

think ted bundy, gacy, BTK, zodiak.

we do have the media calling people serial killers, but not as much because no one cares anymore, its school shootings and terror attacks that scare people now, so they report it more.


for example, there is a dude raping and murdering prostitutes and homeless in chicago and has been for like 30 years, they used to report it somewhat, but now they dont at all. once he is caught though, then suddenly due to body count he will be "scary" to the public so they will again use that buzzword.

i get this is kinda scattered, but theres just so many reasons why, classification, public fear, even if the cops are aware, or if the mayor or police chief wants to cop to a killer, its so much bullshit to get into in one message




TLDR. no one cares about serial killers anymore, they care about shooters or bombings or some third world country.

I mean, I think we have a lot worse on our hands than just serial killers. Oh my god, we should be worried about them, but there's so much going on in the present day. They say everything over and over again without paying attention to the real issues. I think they're more worried if some fucking rich guy stubs his toe.

But the cartel the gangs their not serial killers. When your deep in that world it's kill or be killed & the cartel they may be corrupt but their one powerful corruption that controls Most of Mexico they even have many of the so called good guys on their payroll Most people being killed by the cartel are people involved or in the way and if they kill the innocent best believe an immediate family member is involved. Same goes with gangs other than drive by shootings it's usually gang or drug related. But a serial killer is someone who cannot stop simply because they love to kill, & anyone could be the next victim. The reason we rarely hear about it today because it's difficult to get away with now, it's difficult to break into a house today there's no way another nite stalker could do exactly what the one in the 80's did he wouldn't even be able to get into the houses. Btk, gacy, bundy, nite stalker, all done in the 70's & 80's before todays tech, before DNA testing that DNA shit alone makes it difficult to pull off what once could.

I used it as an example and expressed myself badly, I meant that even people who everyone knows who they are and what they do, like people from cartels or factions, many are free with more than 100 deaths on their backs. Imagine ordinary people who are not part of anything illegal and who decided to kill. It often happens that they don't actually know who the killer is and end up blaming someone who is addicted or someone who has already been in prison.

Because we have so many shitskins in this country now murders are a common occurrence, there's so many constantly that there's no time to even bother counting the bodies.

Murders used to be so rare that it would actually cause national panic and get national media attention, now one spic in ATX shoots 7 people and it gets one news article and the story gets zero national coverage (actually happened, name is Rolando Martinez).

But murder and other violent crimes are a shitskin's natural behavior so our country has had so much of it that now there's so many murders the media can't even keep up so they just call it shootings even if one person is responsible you'll never know they will just say one spic or nigger is tied to several other murders and the article is buried in a day or two.

Vladimir Putin is the biggest (currently alive) serial killer of all now that you mentioned it...followed closely by Maduro in Venezuela.
