Are the Kira killings creeping?

The_Indomitable_Maggie

Caveat: the below probably isn't 100% accurate. It's not like heart attacks were exactly an uncommon way to die on November 27, and as Kira seems to be concentrating more on Japan lately, something is probably lost in translation.

Anyway, to proceed with killing your holiday cheer...

In the first week, Kira killed the leaders of the most vicious yakuza, heretofore-untouchable drug lords, and maybe the most treasonous spy ever to work during peacetime. (Yes, Gurgi, you win that round. But it's L who squared him away, not Kira. Man, there's a story I'd like to get in full.)

In the second week, we saw heart attacks in three more hostage situations, at least one strongly suspected serial killer (I recall more), and dozens of convicted serial murderers. Fair enough. There are only so many Black Jack Baldwins to go around. (Though to all appearances, the Gloved Hand Killer is still at large in Newfie. Can't think why Kira would miss him.)

But here's where it gets interesting. Since the two-week mark, we've seen a couple of trigger-happy bank robberies, a highly shady polygamist, and... a lot of solitary first-degree murders. Here are three. The world can't have run out of serial killers just yet, can it?

Is this foot-in-the-door psychology? Are we being eased until one day, we accept the deaths of people who, unequivocally, don't deserve to die?

There's already a Kira topic.

What, are we restricting ourselves to one topic on the death-curse-flinging entity with a jones for crime-fighting and five dozen apocalyptic theories streaming behind?

CookieKook

On a gaming forum? Sure.

Gurgi

In Serious Business? I don't think so.

Maggie, you're a Kira supporter and you just don't know it. You've as good as admitted that everyone Kira has killed did, in fact, deserve to die. But you have to be alarmist, don't you? Heaven knows working off the facts wouldn't help your case.

While Kira definitely has the potential for more than one topic, this thread could easily fit into the stickied one. Locked.

Twelve FBI Agents Dead of Heart Attacks in Tokyo

FierySteve

Apparently, the FBI sent a task force to Tokyo two weeks back to aid L in his/her investigations. We know this because Kira has just killed them all. The FBI vows to stop activity on the case. I don't blame them.

Jesus. When I posted this thread, I didn't expect its forecast to come true in the same day.

Condolences.

endlessmuse

ah, but can we hold the fbi to their word?

DaveD

First the Hillson sex scandal, then the Kantou broadcast, now this. What does it say about me that I've got a WRPG shrine for a newsfeed?

Gurgi

You know those bad fantasy villains whose main evil is crushing rebellions? Yeah, can't blame Kira any more than I can blame those "villains". If they weren't trying to get him killed, he could concentrate on the Lind L. Tailors of the world.

The_Indomitable_Maggie

Gurgi, you are really beginning to churn my gut.

70wings (Mod Hat On)

Strike to The_Indomitable_Maggie for personal jabs. Stick to the discussion, please.

We cannot, and will not, sit down under this. So thank you, Gurgi. You may well have shown us how to stand.

More after I do some trawling.
