asks Charles Manson to marry her, the dichotomy has collapsed.No longer are serial killers “other”. They are a part of your family.The paradigm has shifted so much that serial killers want to outdoone another and become a media sensation. They go on to writebooks and live as idols. It is a very prosperous career today to be aserial killer. Why is this? Why do we celebrate mass murderers? Theparadigm has shifted so that our culture views the killer as the victimand psychologically we idolize the serial murderers. Logically, thiswould mean their victims deserved to die. If this is so, their victimsare us. We are the victims that are being killed by the murderers.Our culture must be corrupt if we almost wish that a serial killer willmurder someone. Do we self-loathe in our culture so much so thatwe believe and almost wish that an innocent victim becomes thetarget of a serial killer? Our culture accepts and identifies with themurderer. Our culture must be as unstable as the serial killer if webelieve that their victims deserved to be executed.emily mastrobattisto 79
