The reason Sherman stopped was because the plantation owners were white. Just look up his record during the Indian War if you want to see what he would've done if they failed the paper bag test.

the only reason he was on the norths side was because he was a weirdo patriot who hated war and so he was like ok ill teach them war and was a war crime machine. He didn't gaf about anyone but the landed gentry.

Is it really a war crime if it’s done to slavers though?

(not talking about his actions during the Indian wars. That’s unambiguous warcrime territory)

Imagine being such an insecure pissbaby that you get defensive when people acknowledge that serial killers whose entire career was predicated on the fact that they were good-looking and charismatic enough to avoid suspicion are in fact good-looking and charismatic.

Hi. Not one serial killer ever eluded police because they were competent and attractive.

They eluded police because cops are loving morons. The "brilliant detectives in a cat and mouse game" thing is Hollywood fiction. Cops are god drat nitwits.

Bundy went back to the murder scene of one of his victims while the police were investigating it and retrieved her shoes without them noticing.

The only accurate depiction of police in fiction is the Keystone Cops.

Yep.

A Dahmer victim ran out to cops asking for help. Dahmer said "lol my gay lover is just drunk, I'll take him home" and the cops just shrugged and moved on.

That wasn't Dahmer being some kind of charisma wizard using jedi mind tricks. Cops are just literally utterly loving useless simpletons that failed at life so hard they became cops.

they did more than shrug, they laughed and joked about it. And they never saw any consequences, either.

Cops may be dumb, but serial killers are dumber.

At least cops figured out they could legally become career murders and get paid for it.

They got fired, then the police union bitched that they were fired without cause so they had to hire them back.

Yeah, but if their end goal is doing murders, the serial killers get much more chance to ply their trade. Plus, there's little chance of actually being caught.

Anytime a serial killer is caught, it's a major event. And yet at any given time there are estimated to be 2000+ serial killers operating in north america alone. How many of those do they catch? One, two maybe. It's basically a rounding error. There are something like a quarter of a million unsolved murder just in the last 40 years alone. You can do your serial murders on the side, and have a better job than being a cop as your main gig.

I don't know, read it somewhere. It might be worldwide, or it might be something like 40-50 known, but 2000 total estimated.

From what I've read there's estimated to only be a couple dozen active at a time. Serial killers are absurdly rare; that's one of the reasons they make the news when one gets caught. The number of murders in 2017 was around 17,000 in a nation of over 300,000,000 people. The inherent rarity of serial killers and how incredibly deviant that thought process is is what makes them so morbidly fascinating. You can't help but look at somebody like a Ted Bundy or a Jeffrey Dahmer and think "...what the gently caress?"
