I wonder how many people are trying to guess who the suspect is with every description of each person in the diner.

Really? Using the denotation ‘girl’ doesn’t spring to mind a ‘woman’ that would be someone he would date, a Manager of the store would be much more likely.

Why is it, right before people tell you what to do, they say “I’m not going to tell you what to do “ ?

I messed up a long time ago. I made way too many mistakes, and since then, I’ve done nothing but live a sub-life. I lost everything, including my dignity and the only person I truly loved.

That’s exactly what brings most serial killers down, their ego & the need to have it stroked, even if it’s by people they consider to be nothing, kinda ironic really.

if you want to delve deep into someone’s psyche, if you want to understand the person they became, the best place to start is with their childhood and their relationship with their mother and father.

Isn’t that something the air traffic controllers would do? Clear the plane for takeoff? It means the sky & runways are free & clear. The pilots would be saying ‘ready for takeoff’ or similar...

Not an evil gene as such, more to do with there being a difference in the chromosomes of a ‘normal’ person, and a sociopath/psychopath. I completely believe in that BUT then again don’t discount OR give too much credit to how a person is brought up, putting too much belief into either one wouldn’t be right, or even fair to all the children brought up in abusive homes that don’t turn into an antisocial member of society.

I think the reason he did what he did to Hunter boils down to plain old human emotions, and I know sociopaths/psychopaths don’t generally have those kind of thoughts, especially empathy, but they DO have egos & it’s quite often their undoing, to let people see what they’ve done, to ‘get the credit’ they love their egos bring stroked and Hunter had more than he did, he did it better & had it better, and he was just plain old jealous.

It’s funny that first class passengers board a plane first, if you think about it sitting in the plane is the worst and most boring of a trip no matter what place you sit. So the rich get to sit on the plane and have to wait until everyone else boards, as I said when you think about it it would seem better the other way around, no matter how big those first class seats are.

Justice doesn’t have to mean death, it can mean doing the right thing in honoring the persons life, a good person wouldn’t want murder to be done in their name, as well as how it would change the person committing it.
