Details, but Little Insight, on Craigslist Killing Suspect
(New York Times, April 28, 2009)



(Philip Markoff's former teacher Sonja) Hluska said that high school students in Sherrill looked forward to turning 18 so they could gamble at the nearby casino. Mr. Markoff, whom several friends remembered as an exuberant poker player, would round up members of his bowling team after a match and say, “ ‘Let’s go to the casino,’ ” said Jessica Scheuerman, 22, who was a year behind Mr. Markoff at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School.

Later, at the University at Albany, Mr. Markoff was a member of the College Republicans, and traveled to Washington in 2004 to hear speeches by Ann Coulter and Karl Rove.

“We were surrounded by such a left-wing student body, and he was more like me: he didn’t really share those sentiments,” said one classmate, Jonathan Zierler, who said he had accompanied Mr. Markoff on the trip. “He was a traditionalist as far as things like men and women’s roles in society. He was a throwback from a more conservative era.”

Did you get it right?

1. If a killer uses a phone, do we call him the the AT&T killer?

I don't know why this guy has gotten so much attention.

2. A support of traditional gender roles. I guess that includes killing the 'lesser sex'.

3. Could we not do this, please?

I know there's a lot of evidence out there that looks pretty damning for this guy, but please let's not inject politics into it. A sick bastard is a sick bastard, with or without a party label.

4. Agreed, sick murderers come in all sizes, stripes, and affiliations.

Still, I wouldn't want to be alone with a college Republican. :scared:

5. But one party is dominated by sick bastards and the other just has some. nt
