John Douglas, (the coolest person ever) Recalls his career as a criminal profiler

The article is about John Douglas' career in the FBI as a criminal profiler for the ISU (Investigative Support Unit). Douglas did not originally intend to be an FBI agent he wanted to be a veterinarian. He was drafted into the air force, sent four years in the military, and completed his bachelor's degree. After his army service a man he met at the gym recruited him for the FBI so he gave it a go. Douglas worked, "'kidnappings, extortions, fugitives, rapists, murders,'" as a member of SWAT, a hostage negotiator, and as the youngest instructor at the FBI National Academy at Quantico, VA. He taught hostage negotiation and applied criminal psychology. After that he started to interview violent  criminals in prison, (on his free time, he's awesome)   he used these interview to pick their brains and study their motives. He started to teach classes on these interviews. He also identified the homicidal triad, bedwetting, animal cruelty, and setting fires. All of his research lead to him developing the science of criminal profiling. He worked the Atlanta child murder case and was the first person to suggest the UNSUB would be black, (he was right, cause he's a boss a** b****)  He was worn thin while working the Green River case, passed out in his hotel room, was in a comma for a week and in rehabilitation for 5 months. He had viral encephalitis, made worse by stress and he's lucky he's alive. (thank god because he's literally the best) After recovering he worked man high profile cases like, the Tylenol case, the Unabomber, and Robert Hansen. Although he has retired, (boo!! John I miss you!) he still offers his criminal profiling services and is trying to find balance in his life, and has written many books. ( if anyone is looking for a gift to by me) ( I already own three) (he's just the best) He will be speaking Wednesday, April 29, 7 p.m.,  at Northwest College (aka where I want to be) where he will talk about he's career in the FBI and how awesome and epic and amazing he is, and its only $10 dollars.

The author is Ilene Olson and she is irrelevant. The article was written on April 23, 2015 at 8:31 am, and was written in Powell. I already knew almost everything in the article other than the event it was advertising. This gives me a greater understanding of the article. The article is written for those interested in John Douglas to learn about one of he's speaking arrangements in Powell. The article has a positive influence of the audience. The article was written to advertise the speaking arrangement at the Northwest College. The article is conveying how amazing John Douglas is. The article is important because it is about John Douglas, period end of story. The conclusion that I can draw from this article is John Douglas is as amazing as I thought he was. It is relevant because it is about John Douglas.
