It's for crimes like these that I am in favor of capital punishment. People like this should be exterminated so they aren't a burden and threat to society and so they can't breed any more monsters.
What do you mean by "get away with"? Isn't possibly going to be locked up for life enough for you?
Monsters are bred as well as "taught": http://discovermagazine.com/2006/apr/violence
"Fight-or-Flight" is a genetic fact across all life forms. And as the author says: "Whether or not any given person in any given situation will become violent is known to be almost impossible to predict."
And with regard to your Hitler comment, yes you would still be classified as a monster by suggesting Hitler be exterminated "early on" in order to save millions of lives. Would it not be better to educate Hitler "early on" regarding empathy and value-for-life? Your "kill-or-be-killed" mentality is what makes you a monster, because such a circumstance will almost never arise should human values be taught, understood, and upheld.
Incorrect. There is both a genetic predisposition to such behavior as well as environmental influences. Any child born and bred by these individuals would face significant challenges in society.
The Ebola virus is better than Twilight.
Look how many lives they destroyed!
Unfortunately, it seems like in reading this, some feel "sorry" for the murderers instead, like Thebinary 1. Unbelievable!
We can only hope that these monsters never get out of prison, obviously, they have no regrets!
Amazing that they could even meet in prison? Are we talking about a holiday vacation place?
"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you".
Friedrich Nietzsche
If we killed people for killing people, that would make us no better than them!
