Is it? It is known that different races of people are more susceptible to different diseases, such as alcoholism or addiction and others such as heart disease or metabolic disorders. I don't see why this wouldn't include mental illness as well. It's all about genetics. Not trying to stir the pot here, just trying to find answers.

I don't normally use wikipedia as a citation but this article has a lot of citations for its information and a nice easy to read chart.

A group of peoples origins does not make them more capable of becoming SK's. That is what I had gotten from this orig post of yours when you mentioned Italians.
Lol....too true.
In all seriousness though, let's just say LI and the Chicago area are similar in size. The pop density of Chicago is much more dense of course. Right now we have the current SK, Rifkin and a possible one dumping around Manorville (someone linked to this article earlier http://www.longislandpress.com/2011/03/24/long-islands-other-serial-killer/ in LI. All within about a 10-20 year span. That's scary. I vaguely recall maybe a 4th but I'm not confident enough on that. Let me know if there are others.
Is this not insane? I would love to know "professional" theories on this (and I know you're out there). Is it the chemical and biological environment (literally, is there something in the water)? Does it tie into the types of people that immigrated to this area and the DNA associated today (meaning, many Italians immigrated to New York while many Germans immigrated to Wisconsin as one example and certain things have been attributed to different races, such as some races being more susceptible to heart disease as one example)? Or is it that major metro areas on average have a number or SKs at work every 10 years or so and we just don't know about them?
I am not trying to stir the thread or high jack it here but, this is offensive.
sorry
