Would you have a problem with a real life Dexter Morgan?

Question

He is a serial killer who only kills killers

Answer 1

Yes. I believe only God should judge you even if you are evil. You will eventually get what you deserve even if it happends after you die.

Answer 2

I like the thought of Dexter. Does that make me sick? The character's moral guidelines to how he chooses his victims makes him intruiging. There is someone doing something like this in Florida in real life, or so we hear, and I actually think its a little like a Batman superhero or something.

Not that I am for killing, I am actually a very peaceful person, against wars, against violence. But the thought of a real life Dexter taking out the worst of the worst of humanity in a way that is as violent as the crimes they committed seems like a good kind of retribution. And it would get them off the street. However, I doubt anyone is really as smart as Dexter and could really get away with it.

How about you? Do you wish there were a real life Dexter Morgan?

Answer 3

Yes.  There's a big difference between fiction and real life.

On the show, Dexter is a likeable guy.

In the real world, he would be a frigging lunatic who got his sick kicks from tying people down and torturing them to death, who got sexual satisfaction only by cutting humans into bloody pieces while they were awake.  The fact that he kills nasty people doesn't change the fact that he would be a horrifying freak. Also, there are reasons why we have courts - to make sure a person is guilty before punishing them.  On the show, we're supposed to believe that Dexter always makes sure they are.  In real life, chances are he would take short cuts to get to his fun, and even if he didn't, he would still make mistakes, and it could be your brother/sister, boyfriend/girlfriend, mother/father, husband/wife who ends up strapped to his table as he revs up his electric saws.  Or worse, it could be YOU.

Answer 4

no...not really..sort of what happens anyway with police etc anyway...except they don't always get the right person...so if he were in real life he'd probably s***w up occasionally...

so actually

yes, i would have a problem with him
