Idaho Murders

[HelloJapan]

I read somewhere that a couple in the same town reported their dog had been killed and skinned two weeks before the murders. May be unconnected, but given a lot of serial killers like to torture and kill animals as well...

Generally when they're children. In fact, the number one question on the Hare Test that raises alarms for Psychopathy is the abuse/torture/killing of animals as a child. However, they tend to graduate to human targets as adults, as animals don't provide the same "thrill".

If there was a connection, it could possible mean the killer is younger in age (18-22?), and the killing of the dog wet the appetite, inspiring him (usually males), to graduate onto human targets, near his age and ones he's familiar with (fellow students?). I'm sure the FBI profilers involved with the case are doing deep dives on this.

Wild. Guessing this isn't gonna get solved.

Reminds me, gotta get a pistol. Shotgun is too big for my wife.

Look into a 300 blackout (or 5.56) or even a 9mm carbine. Much easier to control and more accurate (and stopping power) than a Glock 9mm for example. Though get the pistol too b/c it's quicker and smaller

It's a scary world out there nowadays. Everyone should have weapons ready and trained on to protect themselve.

Seems this killer may have got the drop on them while they were asleep or passed out though

I know it's only fiction, but it reminded me of Red Dragon, where Dolarhyde's MO is to kill the pet of the family he's targeting first. It's mentioned in his backstory that he began by killing pets as a child, as you said.

The police have already said there's no connection, but then again they have also been quick to rule out every other possible connection in this case as well. The 2 surviving roommates. The food truck guy. The boyfriend. Nothing about this makes sense.

yeah i mean compared to a H&K G36??

 

[fastone]

I don't get it.

 

[Batjester]

That's the version of the airsoft gun I have.

 

[flashNsmash]

I don't get it.

you will if you don't shut the fuck up and speak when spoken to




oh wait i spoke to you didn't i? all is swell chap

 

[Squintz]

I'd put good money on that being connected. It's hardly a common event for a dog to be skinned. That almost never happens.

What a dumb bitch.

What a dumb bitch.

Why would you brag about shooting a wolf pup anyway?

What country/state do you live in?

Budsgunshop has tons of models of guns they ship all over. But not me in California

Some debate on what caliber is best for home defense. 300 Blackout though is a great HD round. Power, quiet (almost like a .22 especially if a surpresser is on it), thought to be some less over penetration compared to 5.56.

Only down side is expensive to shoot!

What country/state do you live in?

Budsgunshop has tons of models of guns they ship everywhere! Well not to me in California

Pacific Northwest area.

Pacific Northwest area.

Oh man!! If you are Oregon your gun laws are potentially getting even worse! They want (or have made) laws that you can't even get hunting rifles without a permit or some dumb law showing you are proficient shooting it.

As of now I believe both Oregon and Washington you can get rilfes (including AR-15s) shipped to you (have to ship to an FFL dealer, or just go to the shop). Better get 'em while you can though!

Personally I'd get a 5.56 AR-15 for it's versatility. You can always slap a 300 blackout upper (barrel) on a ar-15 lower (trigger, stock, etc.) with jsut a few pins pulled out very easily. An AR-15 can shoot .22lr ammo with a $200 kit that's a bolt and a few mags so you can practice with your AR using cheap .22lr ammo

But now I"m turning it into weapons and tactics thread

Weapons won't help if you're murdered while you sleep.

It does seem that the police are ruling out connections without any real reasoning. I can understand the ex boyfriend that they were contacting by phone it they could prove he was in another city at the time. I don't see how they can rule out any connection between other killings.

I sleep with a heart rate monitor connected to a landmine under the bed. At least I'll take the bastard with me.

Was it the G38 that French police had designed specifically after the Bataclan attack and Charlie Hebdo attack?

I love how they walk around with a finger on the trigger and the chambered bullet colored red and in plain sight just so you know they are not fucking around and plan to shoot first and ask questions later.
