I really don't care one way or the other. I don't care if they had a difficult life or if they were loved by their parents. It doesn't matter if they were normal. That doesn't give them the right to do something so horrible. Throw the book at them. *Rant over*
@m2c -- Perhaps you should review the results of the Milgram and Stanford Prison experiements.
It's not TEH STOOPID EBIL NIG...er, LIBRUHLZ FROM CHICAGO who are prone to this. It's people. You, me, your next door neighbor, the F***ING HADJIS half a world away or, yes, a group of young African-Americans.
Set up the right conditions, and people will feel entitled to abuse the perceived "subhuman" outgroup.
The question asked if they were not normal....anyone who can do that is not normal. They are evil. Don't care what some study says. There is no excuse. If you believe that is normal behavior, I feel sorry for that you live in such a sad world. In my world normal people don't at like that unless they have issues. But still no excuse for that behavior.
I have never defended torture. Even of your F.... Hadjis...(again your words not mine) So no need in deflecting there.
I do not believe anyone is subhuman. Again I don't use the words stupid evil liberals....from Chicago. Or describe anyone as subhuman. Those are as always your words.
As if "Chicago" people are somehow different from you, me or your next-door neighbor.
You were absolutely ready to jump on the Kin Selection/Dehumanize the Other bandwagon...just like the "evil" Chicagoans who kidnapped and tortured a member of their perceived outgroup.
Yes, I do live in a sad world. It's a world full of imperfect people who, under the right conditions, can turn into warmongers, torturers, Nazi collaborators, etc., and other imperfect people, like you, who are too blinded by ideology or religion to see that obvious empirical truth. You'd rather stick your fingers in your ears and shout, "La La La! WE are Good/Normal. THEY are Evil/Abnormal!"
