True Crime Vortex

[Cold Meat Platter]

Anyone else been pulled into this? All of a sudden my thoughts are plagued by Chris Watts' lizard face and Grant Amato's bulbous Mekon head.
Anyone got any leads? any cases they're working on?
What is the D.A. on YOUR ass about?

[imitationleather]

To be fair, Grant Amato's head is amazing.

This is the best channel on YouTube. Almost every episode of Forensic Files in one place: https://www.youtube.com/user/MedicalDetectivesTV

To be fair, Grant Amato's head is amazing.

His head/desolation rating is absolutely off the scale.

I recommend True Crime Loser, btw. He's a US stand up who commentates on these cases in a more informal way.

[imitationleather]

Yeah he's good. Seems like a really nice guy. I started following him after he was featured on Jim Can't Swim.

I really liked his Chris Watts stuff because he went on about what an idiot the guy is, which was refreshing compared to the usual YouTube true crime conveyor belt.

[Cold Meat Platter]

It didn't have that SERIOUS CRIME tone which can get on the tits in a Michael Buerk 999 way.

Love his style. Its the right amount of amateur and niceness

I like it when they rape the dead bodies after viciously murdering their victims.

Sounds like you might be a bit sick mate. Ever thought of seeking help?

Nah it's okay I just like true crime.

[chveik]

love true crime but i couldn't commit a whole one!!

[Cold Meat Platter]

It's false crime that should be stamped out if you ask me. Just a waste of police time.

[ASFTSN]

Explain to me immediately why it's not just called 'crime'. "My hobby/interest is researching crime" is a perfectly ok thing to say.

[Cold Meat Platter]

Because there is also fictional crime.

[ASFTSN]

Yeah ok but you wouldn't say "My interest is fictional World War 2". Or maybe you would, I don't know.

EDIT: or "true World Wars" is wot I meant I guess

[Cold Meat Platter]

WW2 novels are a genre, not as broad a genre as crime, though.

EDIT: It's just a synonym for documentary in this case.

[ASFTSN]

Yeah fair enough, maybe I'm an idiot. But it seems a bit like this one of the few things where the 'genre name' of the media content applies to documentary stuff as opposed to the fiction, if that makes any sense. Had a few beers, mind. I'm probably just old and it's a buzzword I've seen a bit too many times in the last ten years.

[ASFTSN]

Anyway to get back on topic I used to find serial killers quite interesting but then I began to see a lot of them essentially as having the same life stories. Head injury, abusive parents, alcoholic as a teenager, repeat. I know it's not that simple but I just felt as though I wasn't really learning anything much new about humans and it became.depressing. Almost like it only remains interesting if you start to...not romanticise, but at least get into each one like it's a fictional character study, one which always culminates in: humans are products of their environment, and the system fails them. This one put a bow tie on his victims though.

Listen to "The Nobody Zone" podcast (or watch it on YouTube if you're hard of hearing). It's the story of Kieran Patrick Kelly, a homeless Irishman who murdered 13-31 people between 1953 and 1983 by shoving them in front of underground trains. OR DID HE?

Vortex is a red herring. The killer actually tricked them into gargling Domestos.
