Post #2 - "A Thin Line"

On tonight's episode, the main topics were home invasions as well as political campaigns. The show started off with a family waking up in the middle of the night to find out that there was an invader in the house. One of the children was told to hide under her bed and call 911. While on the phone, the 911 operator ends up hearing their gruesome deaths. No one in the family survived. The mother, father, daughter, and baby were all shot and perished. These murders continue to happen and a political campaign is going on at the same time. The man that is running for mayor comes off as racist with his snide remarks about how he won't let gangsters or Mexicans take over his beloved city. In the end, it is discovered why the killer focuses on white middle class families. The killer was a victim of a home invasion when he was a child. His father and sister where murdered and his mother was left with permanent brain damage. The politician hired two black men to go kill the family. That way he could easily sell the house with his real estate business and base his campaign on making the city a better place to live. The man that the BAU caught was not emotionally stable by any means. He was just an easy asset to control. He was brainwashed into killing families and staging them too look like men of other races did it. It's purpose was to make the politician overcome with positive votes and win the election. Instead, it backfired and he was caught red handed.

While this particular criminal didn't have a specific mental disorder or condition there isn't really a topic of that nature to discuss. This show was basically just a brainwashing misfortune. However I felt like it would be a good idea to post a glossary on here so if followers to choose to watch the show they aren't confused but their frequent terminology. So here's the link. http://www.criminalmindsfanwiki.com/page/Criminal+Minds+Glossary. I can't wait until next weeks show!
