Is Mass Murder a Thing of the Past?

Bryan Kohberger, the man who murdered four University of Idaho students in the early morning of Nov. 13, 2022, has been charged. The police found lots of circumstantial evidence, including two eyewitness testimonies that put him near the crime scene at the time of the murders.

But the evidence that has a 99.9998% chance of convicting him is his DNA, which he left on a knife sheath found next to one of the victims.

In one of her typically funny, sharp opinion columns, Ann Coulter wrote:

“His capture illustrates why there will be no more serial killers. As the world gets worse in so many ways, here’s one way it’s better. (Unless the ACLU gets its way.) Between the ubiquity of surveillance cameras and DNA, any budding Ted Bundy can commit one hideous murder, but then he’ll get caught. No more victims cut down in the prime of their lives, destroyed families or terrified communities. Monsters like Kohberger get one shocking crime, not a series.”

I think she’s basically right. The only crimes we’ll be able to commit in the future are politically correct ones.
