"The Ripper"

Has anyone been following this in the news? First I heard of a prostitute getting killed. Then there was another, then a third and now look like 2 more are missing. That's a possible 5 murders around Ipswich.

My god, Alfonse - are you serious?

See now to me, 'just business' is what I would identify as psychopathy much more than anger issues. High self worth of ones self, as in they're doing this for a reason, taking care of something that they obviously have no empathy for.. anger doesn't come into it. I don't see 'anger' as a prequistite for psychopathy anywhere. I'm new to this so bear with me.

1. Superficial charm and average intelligence.
2. Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking.
3. Absence of nervousness or neurotic manifestations.
4. Unreliability.
5. Untruthfulness and insincerity.
6. Lack of remorse or shame.
7. Antisocial behavior without apparent compunction.
8. Poor judgement and failure to learn from experience.
9. Pathological egocentricity and incapacity to love.
10. General poverty in major affective reactions.
11. Specific loss of insight.
12. Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations.
13. Fantastic and uninviting behavior with drink, and sometimes without.
14. Suicide threats rarely carried out.
15. Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated.
16. Failure to follow any life plan.


And a psychopath would fit the 'hurt by women' bill easily, someone who's manipulated him etc.

Just musing, but I don't think you can really say he/she cannot possibly be a psychopath just because the deaths have no anger in them. To me, that sounds like someone who's acts on very little emotion, i.e., a psychopath.

I think that too, or either his mother was one.

There's no anger directed at the women. They're being strangled, not slashed, mutilated or anything else. Someone who is psychopathic would have some serious anger issues that would be taken out on these women but they're being killed clean. It's just business.

How come they get almost the right time and we don't?

Moooonnnnnkkkkkkeeeeyy
