Let's talk about killers dear blogadytes.
Not rank amateurs like that guy at Virginia Tech, or those two kids at Columbine.
Not even the pros, the sociopath sadistic killers like Bundy and Dahmer.
No my little blogadytes, let's talk about the really nasty motherfuckers.
They share a lot in common with the Bundys of this world. They're egotistical, care only about their own perverse needs and wants. They prefer to victimise the vulnerable: Single women (preferably poor), underclass children, minority youth, gays, the elderly, the poverty-stricken sick.
They like to make their victims' suffering last as long as they can. They feel no remorse, hell, most of the time they feel perfectly justified in what they do.
What separates them from the standard serial killer is two simple things. The first being that they rarely kill up front. They kill in the abstract, from a distance.
The second is scale.
They murder in the thousands, the tens of thousands.
The millions.
They kill the poor and uneducated, cannon fodder for their endless wars. They starve multitudes with sanctions they pass and let others wither slowly away without health care and housing and food they deny. They kill by fostering hatred , justifying parents chucking their gay sons and daughters out to die a slow death on the streets, or at their own hands. The hatred they plant makes sons go off to shoot other sons they have never met, who never posed any threat, because they worship a different god, or have skin of a different color. They feed the masses into unsafe factories, poison them with pollutants, let them choke to death on their own vomit and blood from diseases they themselves can be treated for. Let them freeze on the streets or starve in the slums.
And unlike the guy at Virginia Tech and the kids at Columbine, they don't kill for the sake of rage and pain and madness.
Unlike Bundy and Dahmer and that lot, they don't kill for perverse sexual thrills and their pure predatory nature.
They kill for power and money, the two sides of the seed that birthed the root of all evil.
And they'll keep on killing. With depleted uranium and poverty and drafts and "correction centers" and rising seas and broken levees and sweltering summers and the terror that they breed like careful herdsmen. They'll kill until the planet rots, until there's nothing left but one big radioactive crematorium.
Unless we rise up and stop them, or put them down.
The way these same fucking hypocrites put down Bundy.
At least Cho Seung-Hui had the decency to shoot himself afterwards...
