This is a repost from a few days ago...
I wanna know what people think of WHY Red John only acts through Patrick??
He has killing career before Jane but it seems that after he killed Patricks family he is limlited to PJ related issues...

Red John is a popular serial killer who is suppose to have a huge ego and much fame with his followers .
Weird thing to me is that Jane did not create or start Red John to be a killer.

But it seems that Red John only makes a move as it pertains to Jane.
Like he only cares about killing and being Red John ONLY if Jame or somethting involving Jane is a factor.

**Red John after Jane started at CBI killed :
~Jared Wrenfrow -janes witness
~Red john copycats- to save janes life
~Bosco and his team- for jane to get his case back
~Madeline Hightower(failed attempt)- framed for killing janes suspect.
~Wayneright- Fired Jane and stopped Jane from doing his job.
~Panzer- Jane wanted Ref John to kill him
~Lorelie Martins(maybe dead)- Janes biggest witness.
~Sophie Miller - Janes psychiatrist
~Janes happy memory- Nuff said
~Kira Tinsley- Dated Cho also a Jane suspect.
~Brett Partridge- All a ploy to trap Lisbon
~Lisbon- Taken and marked obviously Janes girl.
~Janes House- Who knows who died and what happend.

**When Jane killed Timothy Carter the world thougt Red John was dead.
So what does this ego maniac do?? Nothing !
He waited until Agent Darcy was snooping around to prove he was alive !
Basically he waited until someone was questioning Jane to prove he was alive .
Most likely knew that jane knew he was alive .

****MY POINT :
Red John only does his ghastly deeds if it somehow relates to Jane.
Otherwise he seems to not have any other agenda.
IT SEEMS AS IF RED JOHN HAS FRONT ROW TICKETS TO JANES LIFE .
LIKE HE IS WATCHING EVERYTHING TRANSPIRE LIKE ITS A MOVIE STARING PATRICK JANE.
IF JANE WAS NOT WORKING, RED JOHN WOULDNT DO ANYTHING !
He would take his 401K ill and retire. Argue on this theory or rate it.
