    This like Dexter in real life. Is there a word for a serial killer who is also an ethical vigilante?

      “Homicidal Maniac” is a good term for a serial killer who believes they are somehow being ethical.

      Crime is crime. You would be singing a different tune if it was a guy murdering a female rapist and drug dealer. I am firmly against vigilante justice, but I am also a fucking strong believer in the death penalty, scum like him should be dealt with properly and swiftly, the law should ensure he does not hurt a kid or anybody else ever again.

        A crime is a crime, a joke is a joke, and the death penalty is a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

          See I get why people are against the death penalty I really do but I really can’t see what other options are better.

          And the reason I say that is because the main argument against the death penalty is innocent people being charged and executed. If that’s your main concern how is throwing an innocent person into a violent, crime ridden, deliberately underfunded, prison any better?

          Personally if I knew I was innocent but was going to be convicted anyway just kill me and get it over with. Either way my life is over and I’d rather not be tortured the whole time I’m still alive.

    Investigators have identified the remains as Kawsheen Gelzer, a 40-year-old registered sex offender who was arrested for sexually abusing a 12-year-old boy in 2004, according to court documents.

    Gelzer is a known drug dealer who went missing after visiting Stines and her husband, Nicholas McGee, law enforcement sources said. He may have died during an ongoing narcotics dispute with the couple.
