Why the hell would people do this? Do they not see the amount of pain these people have cause multiple families and communities? There is nothing “artsy” or “cute” about romanticizing cruel pieces of human waste. If anything it makes said blogger look like they support human cruelty and enjoy watching or reading about the suffering of whole communities and families.

The reason information is revealed about serial killers is for educational purpose of future homicide detectives, not for the entertainment of imbecile who don’t understand the severity and disrespect that they care causing.
