It has been twenty days since the opening of the Kill Zone. People at first thought of it as a joke that rich people had made. It was only after the third day did people realize it wasn’t a joke. People who entered at night often came back out in a body bag and the police refuse to persecute the killers. This is all because of one slip of paper that allows them to commit murder in the night.
The Kill Zone started with a bill got passed by the Board, a group of the most influential and wealthy members of the city. Their big excuse for this is to relieve the “stress” of young successful adults. Now those who live in the upper class sectors can apply and actually afford the license fee to get away with murder. Now even most delivery services are afraid to step outside when it comes down to the Kill Zone time. That’s where the Mercury Delivery comes in, being made of the only deliverymen mad enough and

Krow. The trains have been stopping earlier since the Kill Zone has started.” Glitch told him as Mr. Krow waved his hand. “What have I told you time and time again? Please just call me Samuel. Mr. Krow makes me feel one step closer to a retirement home.” he chuckled. “Now, do you have the goods?” he asked with excitement. Glitch nodded and handed the package to him. “Sorry for it taking so long. There was a mix up at work and I fully apologize on the wait, especially for our best customer and an old friend.” Glitch said. Samuel pulled out a record and again waved away his concerns. “It’s no trouble Glitch. This kind of thing happens all the time. I appreciate the effort you made bringing this all the way here yourself. Had me concerned for a moment that it was lost. ” Samuel said. He looked towards the clock and frowned. “You better start heading back. It’s almost six o’clock.” “Wait really but my watch said… damn it not again.” Glitch said. “My watch reset itself again. It’s been doing this for the past few weeks.” fiddled with the
We could execute the miscreants within a day... It would work... But we won’t make drunk driving a capital crime for one simple reason. It would be wrong” (“Torture Might Work”).

A society that presumes a norm of violence and celebrates aggression, whether in the subway, on the football field, or in the conduct of its business, cannot help making celebrities of the people who would destroy it. Unfortunately, such acts of rampage have become a prevalent factor in the Canadian culture. As a result of endless media coverage, Canadians now are constantly bombarded with numerous images of violence. Many of which often portray a victim avenging their opponent by means of force. Thus, indoctrinating a nation of individuals to believe that it is only through aggression that problems can be resolved. Rather than being punished for acts of violence, those who commit such offenses are often praised for their “heroism”. In addition, the success of films like The Godfather, Gladiator, and Troy further aid in reinstating the fact that we live in a society that praises violence. Furthermore, this ideology allows for individuals to partake in violent acts with little or no backlash from ones community. However, when an individual strays away from the “norm”, they are likely to then be viewed as a deviant. Such cases of rejection within a society, are often seen in the portrayal of serial killers. Although our society tends to condone violence when it is directed towards a specific individual(s), it does not allow the killing of innocent bystanders. Instead, crimes that are targeted against a number of people over a long period of time, entail the harshest forms punishments under the law. Sadly, in executing the law for said crimes, those in charge often face much public scrutiny. Such occurrences were apparent in the faulty murder investigations of Canada's most notorious serial killer Robert Pickton. This is due to the ...
In order for me to achieve this goal, I have organized this paper into three main sections. In the first section, I will explain how everyone has killed in their lifetime for their own personal needs. In the second section, I will give examples of when killing is needed and required for the safety of one and one’s loved ones. Lastly, I will discuss when killing serves justice to others. I will follow this by citing my work and my resources.

The author of The Hot Zone, Richard Preston, did a phenomenal job of describing the real life events that dealt with the multiple types of Ebola viruses. The author begins by describing true events that took place in Africa. The outbreaks Preston uses involve Marburg, Ebola Sudan, and Ebola Zaire, which are all filoviruses or sister viruses. These events all led up to an outbreak that happened in Reston, VA near Washington, D.C. In each one of the events, the author describes the affect that the viruses had on society and how the outbreaks were controlled. At times it was hard to believe that this book was nonfiction and not fiction. After reading this book, I don’t think I will be making a trip to Africa anytime soon!
Attention Graber: Everyone knows that in the United States killing is wrong and if you do kill you get punish for it. Holly Near an activist tells us “Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong?”
Has the thought ever crossed your mind that you could be gunned down while tabulating this month’s sales figures, attending a working review of a future briefing or simply having coffee with a co-worker while you talk about the upcoming weekends plans? Perhaps it should, it crossed my mind several times after listening on the phone to the panic, screams and faint sound of gunfire occurred at the Washington Navy Yard. Despite my training and years of experience it seems that retirement has dulled my sight somewhat, I put those lenses back on a took a hard look at the building I work in between 40-50 hours a week a now see that it is a potential slaughterhouse. A design accentuated by limited exits within sight of one another, closed off office spaces and limited internal locks would provide an advantages to an active shooter with even limited skill.
Everyone can rest at home after a day of laborious work. Homes temporarily replace our problems with the love of our family members and restores our optimism. In the story “Survival Zones” by Barbara Kingsolver, the characters encounter different problems and the town provides refuge for different parties.
Killing centers are facilities established exclusively or primarily for the mass murder of human beings. Today they are know as death camps. They are different than concentration camps, concentration camps were used as a holding camp for all of the outcast. Death camps are used to kill all of the outcast. This is where German police murdered over 2,7000,000 Jews. The first ever death camp was named Chelmno which was opened in Warthegau (which is in a part of Poland) in December 1941. They killed mostly Jews, but also Roma (Gypsies which were people from Rome who traveled into Germany and were considered dirty). The schutzstaffel (ss) considered it to be a top secret thing, but how do you keep the murdering of millions of people secret? You can’t! Almost as soon as they started doing it, the people all over the world heard about it. The thing is, most of the people that lived in Germany followed the rules of Adolf Hitler and didn’t mind that there was millions of people being put to death. To hide all of the traces of gas operation, they had special prisoner units called the sonderkommandos. They were forced to remove the victims of the gas chamber and they will cremate them. The ground of some killing centers were made to be used as a camouflaged to hide the death of millions.
It is unnerving to think that everyday some of the most unspeakable murders and killings take place just under the noses of the authorities and normal people. The killers responsible for these crimes are threats to society and deserve capital punishment. The death penalty is an acceptable and fair method of punishment because it serves justice, provides victim’s families with closure, and increases safety.
There are thousands of crimes that have been committed throughout history, even millions. Some are real, while others are far from reality. One way a crime can be fabricated is in a book. There are many instances when what occurs in a book cannot possibly happen in real life. The author tends to put real-life characteristics in it, but what makes it interesting is the actual fiction part of it. In I Hunt Killers, the main character, a seventeen year old boy named Jazz, is involved in solving the recent serial killer case. The author portrays many exaggerated situations that clearly prove to be unrealistic circumstances.

Evidence of professionalism on the part of the two killers, Al and Max, is that they both wear a uniform? They wear overcoats. that are too tight for them, gloves to prevent finger prints, and Derby hats. This might be for intimidation, to suggest they are. gangsters or something similar, or it could be that they are not so.
The dark, ominous alleyways of London’s East End divulge a very gruesome history of women “ripped up like [pigs] in a market” (Grose). The area, once littered with the torn up remains of brutally murdered prostitutes, looms over the city as symbol for the story of one of the most notorious serial killers: Jack the Ripper. The case enthralls and captivates people’s minds even today, over 100 years later (BBC). This begs the question of how serial killers become part of history, an answer found in extensive media coverage. Time Magazine describes the phenomena Jack the Ripper left behind as a “rich legacy” and a “multi-million dollar industry,” eerily analogous to today’s coverage of serial killings (Grose). Jack the Ripper’s case provides an early example of the issues that arose with the advent of the serial killer—issues that still exist. The press has a unique role to play in serial killer investigations, but the line between helping and hurting society is often blurred. While the press has a responsibility to inform society of such serial killings in order to keep them informed and safe, publishing killer communiqués crosses ethical boundaries concerning the investigations and society.
