Craigslist Killer

Have you heard about the Craigslist killer?

Unless you are offering "private dances", "massage services", or anything else I would have to put in quotations "", you have nothing to worry about.

But last Thursday night, in Rhode Island, a woman who offered "private dances" on Craigslist was held at gunpoint and tied up by a cord. (hmmm... so "private dances don't include S&M, I guess). The suspect fled when the woman's "husband" arrived.

Authorities aren't sure yet if this is the same guy who killed Julie Brissman in Boston on Tuesday night. She was shot at the Marriot Copley Place, which is a pretty upscale hotel.

Of course, the suspect, like most serial killers, appears to be white, in his 30s or 40s, with blonde hair and he dresses a little preppy. Which is what most serial killers look like - they're the neighbors that you never suspect.

I have been hit on before, and stalked, when trying to buy a birdcage from Craigslist. I strongly suggest that any woman who uses the site have a man pick up the item or accompany her when she does. It is just safer that way! There are a lot of evil people out there in the world.

So, the moral of the story is that if you are going to offer "services" you should work at a strip club or work for a high-end madam. That way instead of being held at gunpoint you will just bed Gov. Spitzer. Honestly, I don't know which is worse.
