I read an article about a gang dubbed the "Smiley Face Gang," who apparetnly are associated with the killing of 40 young men in the last decade. The murders have been in at least 10 states and each death was marked by a smiley face. That must be their calling card. It is a tad scary for being a young college male, but however, most of the murders have been white males. I found this article at http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212144865.shtml
and there is a video too.http://kstp.com/article/stories/s421846.shtml?v=1
Could this be any creepier? The smiley face that is drawn by the killing are extremely freaky. I can just imagine seeing these faces being spray-painted all over town and just because we see a face, people will really get freaked out and start looking for a murder victim. What really caught my attention is the fact that this so called gang has been around for a long time, and is nothing new. I can’t believe we are just now figuring this out…
I heard a story about this as well. It is nuts that it has taken so long for the police to make a connection between the killings. I'm not sure it was the best idea for the police to mention the smiley face part simply because this could encourage many criminals and such to leave this as their calling card as well.
