I have read a ton on homicides of different sorts, murders, and even peculiar cases of grotesque cannibalism. But what I seem to find facination and most unifrom upon the product and end result of each of these vulgarities of society is that the killer is often much more remebered and peole even visit his house, while the victims are barely even though about or known. Such as the case of Joachim Kroll the cannibal of Germany, fans actually visit him house, books dedicated after him, etc. Is this representative of the nature of man and society, that outwardly we show somber sad emotion for the victums, and within we perpetuate liking and fascination at grotesque and horrendous acts.
Well don't get me wrong, i am not in support of any savage torturous act to animal or man. But many say that it is socially and in the greater aspect of society wrong to commit these acts. But if you follow the biological definition,

we have 6 billion> people in the world and therefore it is almost certain that such genetic absurdities and abnormaties and extreme varities are bound to happen. So there is no manner in which to find uniform answers to the reasonings of crime, its rather pathetic trying to make one because thre are so many genetic combanations and unique among all birth. And it is not completely unnatural to commit such grotesque acts because we must remember we are animals and closely related to other primates. And other primates similarly commit such murderous acts in nature such as infanticide, male-male brutal competion, murders, ect.

It is something akin to the "car crash" syndrome, where people will slow down on a motorway to get a good look at someone else who has wiped themselves out in an accident.

Humans have an absolute fascination with the grotesque and horrific. One only has to look at ancient cultures (eg. South American and Roman particularly) to trace it back to the dawning of our so-called civilisation, and the thrall in which we hold these acts today is merely an extension of this.

Not that this is to condone these acts in any way. The societies within which we all live regulate our social behaviour but our fascination with the act of killing enables us to experience the thrill of stepping outside our social constraints without fear of reprisal.

this is in basic terms human nature. We as a society are concerned with the morbid events that encompass us. Take Columbine working example. Do you ever pay attention interior the information a pair of particular sufferer and their relatives? Nope! Heck, they even had a undeniable on the history Channel approximately the two shooters at Columbine. no count how undesirable an journey substitute into, human beings many times tend to concentration on the killer/rapist/cannibal in contact and not adequate on the harmless sufferer. we are in basic terms a morbid race as an entire. Like rubber-neckers on the line of life, we in basic terms can not get adequate of the gore, violence, and unusual circumstances we pay attention approximately.

I believe that the monster is remembered more than the victim because the monster is so unlike most human beings. Whereas the victim isn't exactly forgotten, but more thought of as an icon that represents everyone.

I understand what you're trying to convey, and I also agree. My thinking is exactly the same way as yours, concerning this matter. Too bad I can't add anything further.
