Actually, that last one might just be to evade the law.

Even Serial Killers can show Empathy.

They might leave the body face-up rather than face-down, for instance.

They might pull the dress back down over her naked hips.

They might remove any objects criminally inserted into the victim.

They might wipe all the semen off her body.


Actually, that last one might just be to evade the law.


Anyway, they still might feel a distorted form of Empathy, but never Sympathy: they can only be Sympathetic to themselves.

It is an interesting distinction.

Anyone who would like to discuss this further is welcome to meet me in the back of my White Van with No Windows In The Back.


I am Laslo.
