After watching it I realized how useless and harmful cops are, especially when it comes to minorities.

    You are not weird at all, comrade. I noticed that too, and in fact, the US has the highest number of serial killers (over 3,000.) I know a few people who love watching the documentaries, movies, series, interviews etc. to see how “serial killers” think. When really all it takes is a study on a serial killer’s brain to figure out what’s most likely causing them to be this way. However still, Americans get a thrill of watching it, which is possibly what leads to so much violence in the US. A lot of Americans love to talk about how to get away with murder. It’s strange how they are interested in watching serial killers do the action, hear about the terrible things they did. As an excuse they always say “I love to see why they think that way.”

    I literally saw on Reddit that a person was thinking of becoming a serial killer. It’s unbelievable!

    I noticed that all these docs and movies sympathize with the serial killer. The reason for their actions is always “bad childhood, bad parents blah blah blah.” I know a lot of people who had worse childhoods than his and they aren’t eating humans and masturbating over them. “My Friend Dahmer” was mostly about sympathizing with him and making his childhood seem worse than it was, and if I can recall, even his mother claimed that Dahmer didn’t know what he was doing, despite him blatantly admitting it in interviews.

    American serial killer movies, series, etc, do a terrible job with letting viewers learn what “goes on in the serial killer mind’s.” The viewers in the end always come to the conclusion that “he had a bad childhood, he didn’t know what he was doing, his parents were abusive to him.” Dude there are children in third world countries seeing their families get bombed and killed by imperialists, but are they shooting up schools? Nope, because they’re too busy thinking of how they will survive the day.

    I also found out that the directors never asked the victim’s families input on the series and did all of it without their permission. The woman who (rightfully) lashed out at Dahmer spoke out against the series and didn’t like how the actor displayed her emotions accurately without her permission.

      I never thought about that last part. Plenty of children in the 3rd world are capable of being helpful members of society despite facing tremendous loss, so it’s a good point, we shouldn’t excuse the behavior for some white guy who murdered several people just because he faced struggles too. I was planning on majoring in Psychology for a while and plenty of people in my classes were trying to do Criminal Psychology, very few of us wanted to do therapy surprisingly. I guess it’s not that surprising now that I think about it, everyone likes to think about serial killers

        Exactly. The poor victims in the 3rd world countries are capable of contributing to society just as fine as everyone else. But oh “bad childhood” and “bad parents” and blah blah blah is a concern when it comes to white people who got away with murder due to the cop’s incompetence. Lives would have been spared if the cops did their job. Oh well, we all know that America is a failed country. Not sure how it’s still running, it was shit from the start.

        I do find it weird that people wanna research serial killers when it comes to psychology. It’s never someone with dementia, schizophrenia, depression or someone with anxiety.
