  • There was a criminology professor at the university I attended that achieved minor renown for a book he had written on abnormal psychology and serial killers. He often flew around the country providing expert trial testimony for prosecutors.

    During the DC sniper attacks the fucking guy must’ve been invited on 50 national broadcasts in the span of a week (and according to him was even tapped by the FBI) to leverage his “expertise” and provide a suspect profile. Every appearance his claims would become more and more outrageous and sensationalized until he was basically just describing Vincent D’Onofrio from that shitty 2000 movie The Cell.

    Man, I thought it was funny when the suspect was revealed to be suspect(s) and basically the exact opposite of his expert profile in every way.

    I also recall reflecting on the likelihood that this was probably not the first time he had ever been so absolutely wrong. I wonder how many people with harmless sex things or autism or just run of the mill weirdos have been locked up for murder without a shred of physical evidence because a criminal psychologist phantasied a profile to fit them?


  • They don’t need to do that. Not to say murdering millions of American innocents isn’t on the table, they just don’t need to bother. We’re 3 years or less away from complete theocratic fascism and foreign policy is already and has been for 70 years completely controlled by corporate interests. In regards to Russia, as far as I can tell military escalation is just as useful as military conflict.
