    • it is American culture to glorify murderers and the good looking look at Ted Bundy the same response was given to him they are treated as stars so why not murder?

      • It’s totally bizarre to me, crimsin. Thanks for the comment.

    • I don’t understand it either. Surely we can be a little more discerning than famous (or infamous) and attractive.
