"Best Serial Killer ever"?

No offense, but that is easily one of the most retarded things i have ever read. What makes a "good" serial killer?

Serial killers are evil sociopaths. Are you trying to say which one had the most kills?

Pedro Lopez, over 300.


The most gruesome?
Albert Fish, he ate kids.

Richard Ramirez was an evil person. He doesnt deserve to be glorified in any way.

People who glorify real serial killers are generally emotionally retarded. What he did made him interesting, not admirable.

he should be treated like an insect: Studied and kept in a jar.

He isnt a celebrity, he is a criminal. Learn the differance. And grow up.

ce·leb·ri·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (s-lbr-t)
n. pl. ce·leb·ri·ties
1. A famous person.
2. Renown; fame.

he is famous for the fact the we are talking about him and when someone says the night stalker you will know exactly who they are talking about. people may say that he is a bad person and they are probably right but he is famous and i doubt that everyone who admires richard ramirez or any other serial killer/mass murderers is "emotionally retarded". he deserves everything he got including world wide popularity, jail time (death row unless im mistaken), a nice god fearing virgin wife, and a huge fan base.

"Celebrity" is like "Exploit", there is a connotation with it that trascends the actual dictionary definition of it. And yes they are all emotionally retarded for admiring somone for commiting abject evil. This isnt a fantasy like Michael Myers or Freddy, this is actual death. people's lives weere ruined and ended by him and others like him. That is something that should be remembered, but not glorified and raised to the level of pop-culture.

Of course, judging by your avatar, i can see why you have taken the stance you have. You missed the message of the movie though, raising serial killers to iconic status is destructive, not "all in good fun".

saying everyone who admires these people are emotionally retarded is a very stupid thing to say. murder, if thought of as sport, would be much more challenging and entertaing then other sports like hunting that are on the same level so fans of any kind of hunting including fishing or their participants are emotionally retarded and if they are thats probably the population of the world with a few exceptions.

as for my choise of avatar i took it for what it was, a movie. i didnt miss the point nor do i agree with it to a tee. its just a movie that i enjoy.
