A criminal is a bad person

couldn't expect it
brilliant studies
handsome appearance
trial
mostly women attended it
sentenced to death
women where attracted by him but didn't know why
some of them were scared
some were fascinated by him
they couldn't belive he commited the murders
Jeremy Meeks
has been released from jail
became a model for White Cross
released because of his physical appearance
comments on his Facebook page
Looking handsome is not a good reason to see a criminal as a hero
#
havn't done anything for the country or the citizens
those criminals cannot be considered as heroes
Some of them are ambiguous
Snowden
wants to serve his country
US army
has to leave because of an injury
CIA surveillance programme
genious
38 minutes to achieve a task
access to any CIA programme
HOWEVER
finds out that the CIA is spying on everybody
can't ignore it
reveal the secret
makes him an outlawer
fled from the USA and is hiding in Russia
SO
Criminal towards the government
hero for the citizens
movie has been produced about him
Walter White (Breaking Bad)

spectator can identilf himself
needs money
mortage
cancer
meth lab

FLIPSIDE

felt alive
turned from a normal loving father to a criminal and a psychopath
no identification is possible
Somepeople arn't criminals in a first place
depends of the point of view
things can spiral out of control
Conclusion
A criminal is a criminal
you can't idolize someone who did something against the law
people who idolize them can't have a realistic opinion
they don't live with the person
they arn't victims of their deeds
Snowden is mostly considered as a hero than as a criminal
movie made about him making him look epic
Walter White could have been considered as a hero if he didn't had a meth lab
Introduction
A lot of people are fascinated by criminals
movie, books
put them on a pedestal
Scream, Psychose
remember more of the murderers than of the victims
even movies only about them and not about the heroes
Suicide Squad
Can a criminal be concidered as a hero? Can we idolize a criminal?
A criminal is a bad person
#
The ambiguous criminals
the explainations of the fascination
But what is the explaination of this idolization?
Dr Phil
observed a woman who felt in love with a criminal in jail
those women are damaged (physically, mentally, emotionally)
fantasy based
never lived with him
Cinderella syndrom
broken heart
"came to the rescue"
Hybristophilia
