    Suspect zero! there’s some crazy truckers out there.. Said they caught 25 of them and interviewed 450 drivers who were possible suspects

    BUT he only spent 2000 miles out there on the highway, after that FBI agent quit his OTR lol… what a joke… agent we gonna need to see at least 100,000 miles OTR to take that agent seriously.

    Long-haul truckers linked to over 850 murders: FBI

    A lot of people travel,not just Truck drivers.
    I sure hope that that many psychopaths are not among us

    Do you really believe anything the FBI says.
    Probably just starting to push this narrative in case we actually stand together and block something or all strike and protest. They will then need to start making us all look bad as they try to dismiss what we are doing because we are all sociopaths just like they do in one way or an other to any group of people that stands up to them.

    From the article, which I have corrected to make it just as plausible.

    He described an isolating lifestyle where 10% of FBI AGENTS drink alcohol daily, 20% binge drink regularly, and 44% experience clinical depression.

    “Some of these killers, when interviewed, say it dawns on them that they now have the license to kill because the freedom is there to exploit those law enforcement jurisdictions,” Figliuzzi, who spent 25 years serving the FBI, said.

    The FBI contends that while most FBI AGENTS are hardworking Americans, the inherent isolation and transient nature of the job could draw serial killers or potentially create them.

    Psychopathy has an approximate 1% prevalence rate in the general population

    At roughly 2 million otr drivers, that should yield 20,000 psycopaths in the industry.

    Violent psycopathy is a smaller chunk still, but using their 25 arrests, that would be only accouny for .125% OF the psycopaths in otr trucking....

    Basically, that article could have been written about absolutely any industry because thats how numbers work

    But blameing the human filth that drive trucks just to give people something to hate and make money grabs encouraged and applauded is so so much easier.

    I'm pretty sure that the most recent serial killer in New York wasn't a truck driver.

    I wouldn't want him painting my truck, squintin' like that. Maybe he knew he was better at killing so he focused on that instead. No pun intended.
