>Are you disturbed that he was a Republican?

Not in the slightest. If that paragraph had said "democrat", but every other word was the same, I'd have pointed it out.

I'm disturbed that in an alternate universe we could be reading about Kraft's reelection campaign.

I'm also disturbed that this police officer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Balcerzak) could even continue doing his job and be elected as a public official after handing back a victim to his would-be murderer. And still asking for appeal and getting his job back after his termination.
That Wikipedia article scares me more than the Serial Killer one. This dumb SOB is still a cop & was installed in a leadership position. Where the F#?k is Dexter when you need him?

Vigilantism is not the answer.

Sorry, I wasn't calling for vigilantism, I just thought it was funny how the Wiki article looked like the beginning of a Dexter plot.
Surely Dexter isn't technically a vigilante, given he works out of a police station.

Both serial killers and politicians (and CEOs) have sociopathy in common. It's not a huge leap to imagine such a universe. Think of all the innocents killed at the hands of the current slate of US politicians.
