Please discuss Joel Rifkin as relates to LISK in this thread. Thanks.
I noticed in some posts a interest in whether Joel Rifkin had anything to say about LISK, here's the link and the article. Bear in mind Joel Rifkin doesn't deserve any more attention than he's already gotten.

DANNEMORA, N.Y. - Long Island serial killer Joel Rifkin says he's not impressed by the fiendish handiwork of a murderer who dumped the bodies of four women near Oak Beach.
With the air of a veteran schooling an amateur, Rifkin said the sicko being hunted by cops and the FBI should never have left all the corpses in one place.
"I dumped them hundreds of miles apart," Rifkin proudly told the Daily News Wednesday in a 70-minute interview at the upstate prison where he will spend the rest of his life. Rifkin killed 17 prostitutes in a four-year spree - and took pains to dispose of the bodies. His victims were scattered in rivers and wooded areas from the east end of Long Island to upstate. Three were never found. Rifkin suggested the killer was sloppy for picking a single dumping ground because it alerted cops to the likelihood of a serial killer and brought more heat to the case.
"America breeds serial killers," Rifkin said. "You don't see any from Europe."
"No family," he explained, occasionally breaking into laughter as he discussed his bloody history. "They can be gone six or eight months, and no one is looking."
"I became addicted to sex and companionship," said Rifkin, a long, gray ponytail hanging down his back. There was no sentimentality as he described what he did to the women after they were beaten and strangled. "You carve 'em like a turkey," he said. He said the slayings were a "primal urge" that he justified by reminding himself the women were drug-addicted hookers with no self-respect.
Manhattan and spreading their remains across nine counties.
"They pull up the Jane Does and compare notes," he said.

DANNEMORA, N.Y. - Long Island serial killer Joel Rifkin says he's not impressed by the fiendish handiwork of a murderer who dumped the bodies of four women near Oak Beach. With the air of a veteran schooling an amateur, Rifkin said the sicko being hunted by cops and the FBI should never have left all the corpses in one place. "I dumped them hundreds of miles apart," Rifkin proudly told the Daily News Wednesday in a 70-minute interview at the upstate prison where he will spend the rest of his life.
The Daily News front pages told the story after Joel Rifkin was caught (Daily News).
He speculated that the suspect would have shared some of his experiences: growing up lonely in the suburbs, being mocked and bullied, grappling with anger.
"America breeds serial killers," Rifkin said. "You don't see any from Europe."
Police have not identified the Oak Beach victims, but they are investigating possible links to two missing hookers - which did not surprise Rifkin.
He said prostitutes are obvious targets for serial slayers."No family," he explained, occasionally breaking into laughter as he discussed his bloody history. "They can be gone six or eight months, and no one is looking." The two missing women in the Suffolk County probe advertised their services on [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Craigslist+Inc.]craigslist[/url], which didn't exist when Rifkin was hunting for victims. He focused on anonymous street hookers, not expensive escorts.
