You're right. Our national obsession with criminal sickness is rampant; OJ is just one part of it, as was Shepard's murder; but Dahmer factors in, as do sickos like Geins and Gacy. The difference is, of course, that killers who do "fags" are somehow justified — not too different from the lynchings of previous decades, in the minds of some. Given how much I respect your work, I'm kind of rock-star bedazzled you left a comment here. Thanks, kemibe.

I don't know why they're bothering, since they both have life sentences (one with the possibility of parole, one without). ABC should not have even glorified them to the extent of giving them exposure of any sort. They should be forgotten and left to rot in captivity.
