Are you as afraid of serial killers as I am?

mstice

As a white male age 18-55, I'm one of the least likely people in the US to be targeted by a serial killer, but they still scare the hell out me! It isn't so much the "kill me quickly and then eat/defile my body" type that do it. It's those f'd up BTK types that for whatever sick reason go Spanish Inquisition on their victims that have me sleeping with a hammer and a knife in my bedside table (Seriously, that's no joke. At the very least I'm gonna put up enough of a fight to make that psycho kill me outright instead of taking his time).

So my question is, who else is as freaked out as I am at the chance, even it is 1/10,000,000 or less, of being the victim of some psychopath who turns his messed up childhood into your unfathomably hellish demise?

Not worried at all. Here in Hungary there are almost no such murders.
Another reason I'm glad I don't live in the USA...

xeno are u serious? a few murders each week? we get a few murders each year; on a good year we have under 20 homicides/year. and thats in toronto.

if a serial killer moved up, i'd be scared. who wouldn't' be? but i wun go down leaving his eyes in tact.

or maybe canadian murderers can just cover their tracks a lot better than american murderers...more 'accidents' if u catch my drift.

maybe trick the dude into a drinking contest and spice up the alcohol level/beer?

yeah, for a "each week" average...is quite a lot...(maybe its coz, America is huge, while Singapore is way smaller than America )

back to topic: mildly worried I guess.I mean I live in a very crowded area.

me, well a bit but not enough to affect my everyday life.

as statistics say, you are more likely to be struck by lightning 10 times than be killed by a serial killer.

Right now, I am not really worried because my neibourhood, therent really any serial killer around. I am more about kidnappings and rappists that are lurking around...

I'm from Atlanta. In the metro area (about 5,000,000 people) there is probably at least one murder/disappearance per day. That's why I laugh at friends who ask me, "Is it really safe to travel in eastern Europe?" It's a hell of a lot safer than staying here.

there are more killings in the states but what freaked me out a while back was a statistic i read saying that australia has the highest number of serial killers per capita in the world, granted we didn't have that many serial killers but our population is a fraction of the american population Shocked

I'd kill him first.
Twisted Evil

My doorstep: the express rout to the death penalty, just try to kill me and you'll find out!

Bad jokes aside, the best way to stop serial killers is to kill them, in an act of self defense, preferably on the first try.
