Everyone is a
potential serial killer. Most people never actualise that potential.
Do you really think so? Maybe a potential killer, but serial killer?
I do. I figure if you can kill one, then why not 2 or 1000?I also believe that everyone has the potential to do the most extraordinarily beautiful and kind and loving things too.
I guess so, but I suppose I have this set definition of serial killers that they have a compulsion and a dark, twisted need to kill over long periods of time.
Whereas, most people have the potential to kill if they are in a certain situation, e.g. defending themselves, or someone they love or even defending a stranger; or if they've just lost it with one particular individual because they were causing them some sort of harm; but, they wouldn't then think "whoa, I really enjoyed that, I'll go do it again, but for no apparent reason".
The other side is those, (like Shebakoby mentioned), who kill in a frenzy. And although, by definition, they would be serial killers, it never occurs to me that they are serial killers; because they seem to plan out their frenzy with the intent of killing themselves afterwards, they want to reap their revenge and then die themselves, they have no intention of ever doing it again! (And by the way I'm not condoning it or defending it)
Anyway, I don't know why I'm blathering on about this! (Morbid curiosity only, I swear...............I hope!)
Also, I agree with your last comment!
