I would never post the name of a serial killer (jack the ripper is not the killers name by the way) In my mind, all news reports should only refer to terrorists, amok runners, and killers of innocent bystanders as " the sick killer". Let no killer become famous, just become an anonymous scumbag. Name the victims instead, they deserve it.

Yeah, we have a perverse fascination with serial killers, when you consider the vast number of books, films & TV programmes dedicated to the subject. I wonder why the fascination?

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story........Watched documentary recently, the "true story" of Bonnie and Clyde, there was nothing romantic about it

It is no more political than Pol Pot or Genghis Khan, depending on who you ask.

When I first saw this category I assumed this would be one that I skipped, although I was thinking Oppenheimer in Rush's Manhattan Project until I realized he DIDN'T win for physics. Then the album I was currently listening to, Sandinista!, gave me my entry;-)
