I won't lie and say I find true-crime and stuff of that ilk completely uninteresting, but, like I said in the article, said interest doesn't come without a certain level of reverence and understanding of the brutal, serious nature of the topic. It really does irk me when people treat it like a puzzle or some trivial interest/hobby, since it's not - it's real events that effected real people. In the end, I think I find it engaging in the same way I do history/politics: as events worth studying to see how they are symptomatic of the issues and problems in the capitalist culture we face, or of the time they were born out of. I think there's a lot we can learn from historic crime cases, like what they say about our broken social structure and institution of law enforcement, but studying something in that light is a hell of a lot different than treating it like watching a fucking marvel movie.

Glad you enjoyed the piece. And yes, please tell me the typos so I can get the article updated (I swear that i don't even know what the editors do. It's basically up to me to catch stuff, despite the fact that I'm not being payed for that extra task)
