I love true crime shows.

And fake crime shows.

I can't help it, and I know I'm not alone.

My favorite crime-fighting team is of course... "Buffy and her misfit Scooby gang."

But when dealing with more real-life crime and murder, there is one name on the top of my list.

Olivia Benson. First, last, and always!


Redditor PurpleFlower99 wanted everyone to share who from entertainment we would call if we ended up a corpse, because we know they'd find our killer. Or killers.

So they asked:

"Which fictional detective would you trust to solve your murder?"

Oh... I forgot the cast of Criminal Minds. I love you Reed!

"Benoit Blanc."

"Blanc took the time to talk kindly and respectfully to the victim's elderly mother. I would want someone that considerate in the room when my family got questioned."

Hey D!

"Dirk Gently, so the murder can be solved holistically."

"So true he’d figure it out in the weirdest way possible which is what I would want."

"Read the book. Yeah, the show didn’t do much for me either."

"BING-POT!"

Him

"Hieronymus 'Harry' Bosch."

"There’s really no other answer. I’m convinced that anyone posting anything else simply hasn’t seen the show or read the books."

Paddock9652

"Yeah, I am too unimportant for all those other detectives. Bosch would get it done regardless."

"Scrolled too far to see this. Harry Bosch without a doubt."

"Hercule Poirot."

"The only correct answer."

Peirot Forever! Never a dull moment.

The Classic Gang

"Scooby and those meddling kids."

IBlameItOnTheTetons

"Velma is the only one even attempting to do what they were hired for and even then, she can only ever piece things together after the fact. She’s either a dunce or intentionally holding back her findings from the group (maybe moral reasons)."

"Fred is freaking around with stupid crap like 'traps,' Shaggy is blazing it up off screen with his dog and Daphne is basically scamming daddy out of money with her friends on their sham business."

"They’re basically a scam service that gets brought in to validate 'paranormal' insurance claims. But somehow, while they coast on free room and board comp’d by the insurer, gets those friendly locals insurance claim denied and charged with fraud."

"Columbo, 100%."

Toepipe_Jackson

"I'd trust Columbo with my life, my death, and my mother's chili recipe."

BeneejSpoor

"'Oh jeez, I shoulda thought of that.'"

Dothwile

The Knight

"Batman."

RedBoi_45

"He'd solve it, and the murderer would get a severe beating, that's a win as far as I'm concerned."

Ramiren

"Hands down, the detective aspect of Batman is excellent when explored properly, like the time they gave us this majestic story: Batman Black & White: Perpetual MourningSpiderman."

anzinho

And so swoonworthy...

"Spencer Reid!"

"Not just Spencer but the entire BAU."

Street-Patience-3814

"Thought I'm the only one who'd thought of this."

nonhuman000

The OG!

"Sherlock Holmes."

theendfckworld

"You know how far I had to scroll to find this? He's the GOAT detective. Superhumanly smart."

Domino_Masks

Now that is quite a list of people I'd trust in my death. Avenge me.

Anti-Trump Stickers Keep Getting Spotted On Gas Pumps—And They're Absolutely Brutal

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's decision to join Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in attacking the country of Iran directly caused gas prices in the United States to soar and even Trump's MAGA minions aren't happy about it.

Many who are turning their back on Trump have cited the POTUS's negative impact on their cost of living and the influence Netanyahu, himself under investigation by his own country for corruption, has over the Trump administration.

Cloud, who boasts nearly 58,000 followers on Instagram, said he actually used to go "door-to-door" stumping for "one of [President Donald] Trump's closest friends in Congress, adding that he "used to say, 'I think, therefore I am conservative.'"

Trump's AG Sets Off A Firestorm With Claim That Americans 'Want Their Tax Dollars Spent On' Trump's $1.8 Billion Slush Fund

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is facing heavy criticism after claiming that Americans "want their tax dollars spent on things like" President Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund that may go to his allies and those who participated in the January 6 insurrection.

The Justice Department said last week it was creating the fund as part of a deal in which Trump agreed to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. But despite a press release, memo, and a newly-released settlement agreement, many details about the program remain unclear.

Getting a new pet is a big commitment, and when you decide to take the plunge, you should commit to keeping them for their full lifetime.

But if you're going to get an animal that you have no prior experience with, you also have to commit to doing your research so you can care for them properly. While getting advice from a fellow pet owner is helpful, it's always good to double-check their facts.
