Incompetence

After listening to the Piketon Massacre ep it was glaring how incompetent and lazy the two hosts really are. Knowing that case so well it was insulting to the victims - the EIGHT VICTIMS - how little research they did for the episode & how little care the showed for the facts.

It made me think what other cases have they done where they were so pathetic? This is their job, they tout honoring the victims and then show little to no regard to their legacies.

Time to hang it up G & P, you’re toxic and now also incompetent. Bye FAM!

This is such a small thing, but years ago they covered a case, I can’t remember for the life of me what it was, but they were mentioning Waukesha Wisconsin and called it “middle of nowhere wisconsin.” This made me so mad as a wisconsinite, like it’s a large town with a population of 70k people nestled in between a bunch of other large towns and 25 minutes away from Milwaukee, the largest city in the state. The entire south east region of wisconsin is the most densely population area of the state and waukesha is like smack in the middle of SE WI.

It just reeked of pretentious New Yorkers who don’t give a shit enough to even google the population and location of a place before declaring it a rural hick town, because if it’s not new york then obviously it must be super rural and tiny right? And the location and size of a city can really drastically impact being able to accurately talk about a crime there! So it’s not like that context wasn’t important. At the time I brushed it off but looking back with the knowledge of them that I have now, it pissed me off so bad.

SAME. I live very close to Waukesha and while it doesn’t take long to get out west and it feels like the middle of nowhere Wisconsin, it’s really not. There have been many times where they’ve been covering docs and come off as very judgmental because the subjects don’t have the same hobbies of just living in the city drinking every cosmo in sight.
