Philip Markoff – the alleged “Craigslist killer” – is either a caring fiance or a creepy stalker who hates women and minorities.
The 23-year-old, who was arraigned in Massachusetts yesterday for the murder of one woman and the armed robbery and kidnapping of another, certainly looks like your typical grad student.
He’s the son of a wealthy dentist, a kid who had every opportunity life could possibly conceive dropped in his lap.
Markoff had the perfect life, including a gorgeous fiance who says that he “is a beautiful man inside and out. He is intelligent, loyal, and the best fiance a woman could ask for. He would not hurt a fly!”
Obviously, that’s up for debate at this point.
Not surprisingly, the bigger debate being pursued by the media is the fact that Markoff allegedly used the Internet to stalk his victims, hence the whole “Craigslist killer” thing.
That always amuses us – like the Internet is somehow a co-conspirator in this whole tragedy.
Funny, the last time we checked technology was amoral, but some people apparently don’t get that – and they apply their onus selectively.
For example, we don’t recall a rash of people demanding “phone book regulation” when people stalked their victims the old-fashioned way – by letting their fingers do the walking.
Seriously, the Internet is no more to blame in this situation than the victims’ families.
Some people – even good-looking ones – are just evil, and will use whatever technologies they can get their hands on to be evil.
