Drew Peterson - So They've Charged Him at Last

[Leaffan]

What an asshole. No further comments. Beats me why I should care, but sociopaths like this intrigue me for for some reason. I know there’s a lot of them out there, but this guy is a whacko.

Maybe this will wipe the SMUG off his stupid face.

What is it with the name “Peterson” and wife-murdering?

I always confuse Drew Peterson with Scott Peterson, who I also confuse with Ben Affleck.

So true! I came in here thinking “that Peterson guy is out of prison?” (thinking of Scott)

What I can’t figure out is how a guy that old and that old looking manages to get young women to fall for him. He needs to get out of the murder game and start giving seminars on meeting and influencing people so the rest of us old farts can learn from his success. Maybe I’m not brandishing my knives properly? Perhaps women are unimpressed by the way the police don’t to investigate my past relationships? I think Drew could help a lot of guys here in the SDMB.

The uniform? I don’t want to play Dr. Phil, but this guy sounds like the controlling type who goes after insecure young women.

What’s really sad, and I mean this, is that when he was arrested, the headlines said things like “Peterson arrested, charged with murdering third wife”- and I wasn’t sure if they meant ‘he was charged with the murder of his third wife,’ or ‘this is the third of his wives he is accused of murdering.’ His first two wives are alive, however.

This quote is pretty scary:

Ernie Raines [father of Peterson’s girlfriend] said more than anything, when he heard about the arrest, he was relieved.

“I’m glad justice finally came – before he hurt my daughter,” he said.

Drew Peterson charged with murder, authorities say - CNN.com

Of course it’s also scary that this woman was dating and thinking of marrying him, knowing he is likely to be charged with killing his last two wives. “I can change him!”

Hey, serial killer groupies are scary …

Why cant the ones who just want a distance relationship do the traditional thing and marry a guy in the navy, at least he gets an income …

[Northern_Piper]

or wait until after they’ve been jugged for life, and then marry him in prison? they get the conjugal visits, without the risk…

Found guilty.

Peterson verdict updates: Final holdout swayed by hearsay testimony

Unfortunate that my tax dollars will be used to support this Asshole for the rest of his wretched life.

You noticed that too.
