You know how your commute has moments that make you roll your eyes? Someone cuts you off, the train’s delayed. But you still pay attention to traffic signs. Similarly, news about serial killers isn’t a doom scroll—it’s a warning sign for a society we all share.
For instance, the recent case of Ali Qazim and his murder of a young woman in London made headlines not because it was rare, but because it didn’t have to happen. Authorities missed red flags. When you care about this, you’re not just being grim; you’re asking, “How can we spot the early signs of danger in our own circles?” It’s like noticing that pothole on the road before it breaks your tyre. Annoying but useful.

Caring about it means you’re part of a human conversation about trust, vulnerability, and how we protect each other.
