Quote: Actually I've read some about serial killers, they entertain me. Unfortunately, it's a young man's game. If you haven't done violent crime by the time you are 40 or so, your time is up. I'm 53, so I don't think it's going to happen.
Ditto here, chief. I've been a serial killer buff for years. The Northwest is the SK capital, after all. I also agree it's a young man's sport. Look at almost any of them and they started around puberty. Maybe not killing people, but at least hurting them. Not like a schoolyard bully, but more like catching another kid, usually a stranger, alone and cutting them. The ones who are old like you and me have been doing it for years. It's like a job to them. When Ridgeway (Green River Killer) got caught, they questioned why he went into a long period of inactivity, which is abnormal for a thrill killer. He told them he was in "semi- retirement".
It's like if your band doesn't make big by the time you're 25, it never will.
