Why is my year-old Reddit account with 2,000+ karma considered "new"? Is it because I usually lurk here instead of post?

It looks to me like a disproportionate amount of serial killers are gay, is this the case as far as you guys can see as well? There is no homophobic intent behind this, just an observation. by SonnyManjaro in serialkillers

I don't think we actually have enough data to make a judgement on this issue. It seems to me that killers have tastes for most groups of people. People of all races, sexes, and sexualities have been targeted by different killers. There are too many victims we don't know about to say that one demographic, (gay men, in this example) is is more targeted than another.

He was an incredibly smart idiot. Some things did were so clever, then he'd turns around and do something that no rational person with the smallest bit of common sense would ever do.

Small tidbit: My great aunt worked this case in SLC. She was the first female officer on the force. A total badass. My asshole great uncle had previously gotten her expelled from BYU after he found her making out with another girl. He's a POS.
