That's because journalism has more or less lost all semblance of integrity, so it's turned into "what cheap clickbait can I crap out today to maximize my clicks?" That's why instead of the hard-hitting investigation and journalism we got with Watergate, we get "TRUMP = LITERAL NAZI, CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHY"

This alarming decrease in the population of notorious serial killers poses an immediate threat to our society, as it could lead to a shortage of chilling true-crime documentaries and thrilling podcast series. To address this pressing issue, we must work together towards increasing the number of active serial killers. Here are a few possible ways to do so:

Serial Killer Incubation Programs: To ensure we never run out of potential murderers, we could create incubation programs specifically geared toward nurturing future serial killer talents. By identifying young individuals with a predisposition towards violence and sociopathic tendencies, these programs would provide them with the necessary training to hone their craft. Just as Olympians train for years before they reach the pinnacle of their sport, we can develop a similar system for aspiring serial killers.

Free Education: We could offer free education to troubled youths who show a promising aptitude for serial killing. Providing them with the best resources will enable these young minds to explore advanced methods for committing multiple homicides. Subjects such as forensics, human psychology, and law enforcement tactics could be included in their curriculum. This knowledge would empower them to avoid detection while enhancing their body count.

Tax Incentives: One way to encourage individuals to take up serial killing as a profession is by offering tax incentives to those actively engaged in the practice. This would make it financially beneficial for people to become serial killers. The more victims they claim, the larger their deductions would be on their annual taxes. They'll be able to enjoy substantial financial benefits while spreading fear across communities.

Mentorship Programs: Establishing mentorship programs would allow experienced serial killers to guide newcomers through the murky waters of their chosen career path. Veteran murderers like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy could impart their wisdom and expertise to eager apprentices, ensuring that their deadly legacies live on.

Creative Advertising Campaigns: To increase awareness about the exciting opportunities offered by serial killing, governments could initiate targeted advertising campaigns aimed at disenfranchised and socially isolated individuals. By highlighting the freedom and adrenaline rush associated with this occupation, we could inspire a new generation of predators.

In conclusion, by implementing these measures, we can revitalize the dwindling population of serial killers and ensure our true-crime enthusiasts never run out of captivating stories to consume. Additionally, the increased supply of serial killers will provide police departments with ample opportunities to showcase their skills, further cementing our commitment to public safety.

INT. WIRE ROOM - DAY

A somber mood fills the room as detectives gather around the conference table. Lieutenant CIARAN "SNUBBY" REDMOND storms in, visibly irritated.

SNUBBY (yelling) What the hell is going on here? This is a Coast Guard case! We don't have any jurisdiction over this!

MCNULTY steps forward, unfazed by his superior's outburst.

MCNULTY (coolly) Actually, we do. Let me show you something.

He walks over to a projection screen, plugs in a flash drive, and starts playing a video. The recording shows the cargo ship smashing into the bridge's pillar. However, the video is slowed down, revealing something significant.

V/O (Mcnulty) The slow-motion footage reveals that the ship didn't just hit the pilings underwater—it also collided with solid ground.

SNUBBY (surprised) How did you get this video?

MCNULTY (smirking) Let's just say a little birdie told me that some local fishermen captured this on their boat.

Lieutenant SNUBBY runs his fingers through his hair, defeated.

SNUBBY (muttering to himself) Damn it, McNulty. You always find a way.

The other detectives look at MCNULTY with newfound respect as he takes charge of the investigation.

FADE OUT.

Drone strikes are expensive, why not reserve them for gatherings of dozens of Gazans? Why take out small groups like this? Why release the video?

Typically, the fellows pulling the trigger are so far removed from the costs it ceases to be a factor.

When will we, as humans of all colors, stand up against racism against whites (and especially males) that is strangely being more and more accepted as a normal thing daily?

You get 0 'progressive points' for standing up for white males. One of the last socially acceptable punching bags. Look at the proliferation of the 'dumb dad' on sitcoms, totally acceptable.

Whenever I see posts like this, I wonder about the benchmark being set.

I don't know what OP wants... a weekly news story: "VEGAS SHOOTING STILL NOT SOLVED, NEWSPAPER EDITORS SEEK ALTERNATE HEADLINES"

DB Cooper was one of the most mysterious hijackers of all time. Still no motive, why don't we hear about it more often?

Zodiac killer, active for years on the West Coast. No known motive... why don't we hear about it? Why does no one mention it?

Jack the Ripper, killed women brutally, unsolved, no known motive. Why isn't he mentioned more often?

This line of thinking drives me crazy. Our current news ecosystem thrives off cheap clickbait and manufactured outrage. Barring some radical new information, they won't get that out of the Vegas shooting, hence it doesn't make headlines routinely.

What do you consider normal? One thing that may aid autistic understanding, is many people who are enormously depressed manage to maintain a really happy facade over it. That smiley, goofy lady from work might actually be struggling with deep clinical depression. You may actually be one of the most fulfilled of your peers without knowing it.
