Murdering Wilmington with “Murder Town”

As chemical capital of the world, founding city of DuPont, Murder Town, tax-free area, and corporate base for 64% of Fortune 500’s top companies, Wilmington, Delaware possesses many monikers that generate interest in tourists. After all, what sane person would not enjoy a nice trip experiencing such a great corporate center? Even ABC desires a personal tour with its decision to produce the show “Murder Town”, stylized after the label resulting from the disproportionate occurrence of violence in the city, in order to explore the town that captivates public audiences with its many great successes. Although these successes promote interest, a single failure summons fear, with “Murder Town” gathering public aversion from horror at violence and abhorrence at homicide. From this dubbing of Wilmington as “Murder Town”, residents will suffer great defamation for the filling of producer pockets, affecting the children the most as society soon portrays those out of Wilmington as those

ABC admits the first of Murder Town’s successes concerning the sale of iPhones from the Apple Store in Christiana Mall, totalling to the highest amount sold despite the relatively remoteness of location from most popular cities, highlighting the youthful entrepreneurship of the adolescent state in its mass production of extremely profitable lemonade. Murder Town further produces exquisitely sweet lemons with Newsweek’s number 10 school in the country of 2014, the Charter School of Murder Town, which soon cannot further its excellence after colleges condemn the students for producing one bitter lemon within the batch. Lemons exist naturally sour; what loss of opportunity and potential occurs when humanity denounces those who produce 99 sweet lemons with the one bitter

    The story of Logan Marr and her murder is a sad story that should be taught to all child protective service workers and social workers everywhere so the same mistakes are not repeated. However, when establishing who is at fault for Logan's death in this case I think everyone is partially at fault. Logan's mother could have tried harder to get her life in order and regain custody of Logan but she waited until it was too late. The newly employed CPS worker Allison Peters should never have been investigating a case that was already closed based off of an unreliable rumor and she should have also reacted to Logan's signals of distress that she was sending to her mother at their meetings. Sally should have known better on how to treat disruptive children because she had worked in the DHS for many years before adopting Logan.…

    A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are physically abused, 3% are sexually abused, and 2% are psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). The dramatic difference of abuse frequency between people who are serial killers and people who are not seems evident enough to support that serial killers are created.…

    The sinking of the USS Indianapolis was one of America’s greatest naval tragedies as the Indianapolis was one of the flagship ships of the navy at the time as well as one of the fastest. On July 30th of 1945, at 4 minutes past midnight, on the route between Guam and Leyte Gulf, known as “Convoy Route Peddie,” the ship was hit by two of the six torpedoes that were fired at it by the I-58, a Japanese submarine. Ultimately only 317 men survived and were rescued in different groups at different distances away from the initial sinking. The captain of the ship Captain Charles McVay III was court-martialed, which was highly criticized by many; however, nothing was done about it until Hunter Scott and various survivors, politicians, and average citizens moved to have this court-martial repealed.…

    This serial killer who is committing these crimes in a similar, limited location appear to be well thought out. I know that as a serial killer, he is going to partake in organized murders. In turn, he is not going to random locations to rape and murder his victims, instead he is carefully choosing the location where he will commit each crime. His reasoning for committing the crimes in a similar manner can be explained by categorizing him as a hedonistic and/or power-oriented serial killer. I would say that this individual might possibly be the type of serial killer who is doing it for the thrill of it and by taking advantage of his victims before he kills them, categorizes him as a power-oriented murderer.…

    Mental Illness and Mass Shootings Over the past couple of years there have been a series of more than 200 mass killings in the U.S (“Behind the Blood shed: The Untold Story of America’s Mass Killings.”), and often times catastrophic events like mass murders tend to receive large amounts of publicity, especially if the shooting is committed by someone with some type of mental health problem.

As a result of this, there has been an increase in negative attitudes towards people with mental health issues.

    Homicide is the killing of a human being by another human being. In old common law, the only type of homicide recognized was murder. Today, U.S. law makes many distinctions between each type of homicide, classifying them as justifiable, excusable, or criminal, and gives varying degrees of seriousness to each type. Where criminal homicide is concerned, it can further be broken down into murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide. Each subset of criminal homicide has several elements and characteristics that distinguish one from another.…
