In Japan, it really seems like stalking cases are a dime a dozen, especially when it comes to popular idols. When someone does come after one of these young women, there are shockingly little measures in place to protect them. Even when a fanatic otaku clearly expresses an interest in ending their life publicly on the internet. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dire... Check the podcast out...

When a woman grew tired of being a single mom, she used her mental illness to have the kids removed from her custody multiple times. When they kept coming back to her, though, she decided that she would need to come up with a plan to get rid of them entirely. She got the idea for how to do this from her dog, who she was having inappropriate relations with. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/d...

When a petty dispute broke out between some small time suburban criminals over $1200, nobody would have expected the fighting to escalate up to kidnapping, even less murder. Moreso, nobody could have foreseen the years long international manhunt, eventually, how it would all come to an end. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dire...

While dumb criminals are a dime a dozen, it's hard to ignore that a lot of crimes are conducted so badly that the average person can't fathom how they thought they would get away with it. It's even more rare that a criminal is so monumentally stupid that psychologists actually study their thought process. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dire...

A previously well loved professor started to sour his image in front of his students after derailing classes again and again to talk about his obsession with Las Vegas and to hit on the female students. While it has become more and more common for students in the US to take out their hatred on schools, it isn't often that a professor will do the same.

When a man with a troubled upbringing turned to a life of crime in his teens, he went on to see a series of arrests spanning ten years that would leave him as a hardened criminal. What he never expected, though, would be that a flattering mugshot posted to Facebook would lead to a life of fame and luxury. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dire...

When a young man with a unique look flunked out of school, his life quickly took a turn for the worst. Left with nothing to do but mess around on the computer and get high, he stared looking into extremist material online. Radicalizing himself of his own volition, he decided that he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he didn't carry out some sort of attack of his own. MERCH  https://www.teep...

When a high profile conpiracy theorist was targeted by the feds and involved in a shootout in front of his own home, many people came to be fully convinced that his theories were true. After all, they thought, doesn't the government targeting him lead credence to his claims? Little did they know, the story was much more complicated than that.

As a man slowly lost his mind over decades, he got in trouble for all manner things such as arson, serving alcohol to minors, plastering a giant, certain world war 2 symbol up on the side of a building, and more. However, it was his final act and his bizarre behavior leading up to it that would truly come to make him infamous. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dire... Check the podcast out i...

After the police and counter-terror programs refused to deal with a teenager with very clear violent intent on at least ten different occassions collectively, that failure to act would go on to result in tragedy. That was when that teenage boy decided to carry out a violent attack on a large scale : one in which he targeted a Taylor Swift themed group aimed at girls from 6 to 11 years old. MERCH ...

When a young woman became obsessed with the Columbine shooters, she began to keep a journal very similar to the journals that those two kept. When she uploaded her journal to her website and set off on a plane to Colorado, the site of the massacre, and purchased a gun, an all out manhunt was put into place to stop her before she did anything drastic.

When it comes to furries, there have been a good number of incidents, controversies, and crimes over the years. None of these have really helped them out in the PR departement with some being worse than others. It doesn't get much better than a full on chemical attack on a furry convention.

A lot of people online will get into conspiracy theories as a form of entertainment. For most people, they're like fun, what-if stories to get into, almost something like real life fan fiction. For a good number of people out there, though, those conspiracies are completely real. When a bunch of moms on the internet who lost their kids either in custody battles or to CPS hopped on to the conspirac...

When a few international students from China living in Japan felt they were low on cash, they didn't ask their parents for any money or take on some part time jobs. Instead, they chose to turn to petty crime to get a payout. When that wasn't making near the amount of money they wanted to make up for the risk involved, they chose to move on to much darker plans to get paid. MERCH  https://www.teepu...

As a deraned young boy grew up threatening his classmates in clearly violent ways, nobody really wanted anything to do with him. Even despite everything he had done, they still never expected him to become the monster he turned out to be when he set his sights on committing one of the deadliest attacks in US history.

When a man's young adult daughter went missing, said to have joined a cult, people simply stopped looking for her after a little while. They were surprised when, seemingly, she came home to leave her baby behind to be raised by her parents, parents she hated enough to run away from. Little did anyone know, she was right there the whole time, held in an underground dungeon by her own father. MERCH ...

Whenever people get together to play online games, usually it results in nothing more than harmless fun. Once in a while, though, someone will get angry, get obsessive, or even set out to kill the people they play with. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dire...

When people began to grow concerned over a user on X, one that openly praised other killers, bragging that one had followed him, he was reported to the FBI.

In one of the first cases of mass workplace violence in the United States, a man claimed to have some very strange, very specific delusions that lead him to doing what he did. However, whether or not those delusions were real was another matter entirely. MERCH  https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dire...
