Do Psychopaths generally congregate in groups? Or is that just an American thing too?

This grouping is likely the result of a sense of strength in numbers. And a shared fascination with the sadistic and morbid.

It happens everywhere.

Not all psychopaths are self-deterministic loners. Some enjoy bullying in groups, generally because alone they feel weak, vulnerable, and cowardly. They HATE that. Victims have less capacity to fight back against a group, and in this case the violence was performed out of boredom as a drive-by. All the rush of power, without the risk to the self.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Labeling someone a psychopath is something with which I strongly disagree. Nobody here has the expertise to do that. I would have suggested sociopath, but that's just as wrong; both terms come from a visceral reaction, not any facts. Society helps mold its children, so looking to their lives, families, etc., would have more value, in my opinion. Mental illness is bandied about far too casually with sometimes horrific results. It's too easy to see them as "others", divorce ourselves from their actions, by labeling them.

This was horrific; my impulse would be to try them as adults, too, but I don't begin to know enough about the people in question to feel I have the right to say that.

And yes, it's all over the news here, too. It's sickening, period.

Um, *I'M* a psychopath. And I have to call it like I sees it.

Killing someone out of BOREDOM might be very dumb, which is seconded by the relative ease in which they were caught, having done it in broad daylight. So, an argument can be made for extreme stupidity, but their actions also demonstrate an obvious lack of empathy.

Lack of empathy = psychopath. Not an "other" or something scary or terrifying. Just what they are.

You again do not address any reason why I should care what their race was. Not any more than it matters whatever George Zimmerman is - and as a side note, I kinda think maybe people about to be charged with a crime shouldn't get their pictures flashed around the news.

This case is clear cut, and I hope they go to prison.

But maybe in George Zimmerman's case not showing his appearance would've saved him a lot of hassle and death threats after the fact.

In any case, I suspect the lack of pictures is a result of them being UNDERAGED and charged with crimes. I assure you that I see plenty of adult black males accused of crime shown on the news.

Australia sometimes has it's own problems which I'm not about to comment on or go into, as I can't be sure that's where this is coming from. I'm waiting until Magons has a say in.

Hee, hee, hee; excellent, G!

The comparison of the two situations is a total fallacy:

--Three young people did something horrific which is against the law and killed an innocent person, for which they will be held accountable and no doubt pay a very heavy price.

--One adult, in a position of authority, went after and killed an innocent person and the law held him completely without responsibility.

The only way to equate the two is if they agree Zimmerman did something wrong, which defeats their purpose. There is no comparison, and race is virtually irrelevant in both cases, tho' it's already obvious there are lots of people out there screaming "See? Zimmerman was right!" It's a convenient, but totally fallacious, talking point, nothing more. It's not even a debatable point, given the two different incidents.

The only racial aspect to either is that I don't think Zimmerman would have gone after Martin if he'd seen clearly that Martin was Caucasian, and I'm sure these young people wouldn't have picked out a Black target. Beyond that, the situations are completely different.

Obviously from this day forward Rap will insist Trayvon attacked Zimmerman. The FACT is that there is no proof either way, and never will be. Rap's entitled to his opinion, but it is only an opinion. The only FACTS we have are that Martin was going home from the store, bothering nobody, and Zimmerman was told not to follow him. Beyond hearsay, the only EVIDENCE we have are some bruises on Zimmerman and a bullet hole in Martin. I know everyone knows this, but it's worth reminding us, because I have no doubt Rap will continue to claim what Zimmerman SAID constitutes "fact" for the rest of his days.

It could be viewed as defensiveness, recognition of a truth they don't like, or obsession, that Rap and those like him can't give up on this.

Everyone associated w/ that case, from both sides, said race wasn't the issue, but we're still seeing hoodies and comments about black children being shot in the streets, and how it's " ok " .

Don't you libs worry, the MSM is doing everything they can to forget this, if there's one thing they know how to do is bury a storys true point.

It think the culture of the killers is relevant, at the very least. Whether it's black on black crime, in Chicago, or if it's black on white crime, from a beating on a school bus, to the rape /torture/ murder of a young couple in Tennessee / or the cowardly shooting of a baseball player, in the back, in Oklahoma.

Yes, Byte; but one might add global warming, Muslims and a whole bunch of other things where Rap's concerned when it comes to hammering an issue ad nauseum.

Wait a minute...one of those kids is white...I don't suppose that means anything to Rap...looks like he was "just the driver", so I'm sure that lets him off the hook, race-wise...

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe one of these kids is Hispanic. Don't let the hair, lips and skin color fool you.

I once dated a Puerto Rican who >>> I <<< thought, anyway, looked black. Did I get an earful. Apparently someone like me unaccustomed to gauging shades of brown from that area of the world just doesn't see the rich variety that exists. (This is all somewhat tongue in cheek. I had less problem thinking he was black than he did.)

In any case, it looks like we have a variety pack. Just goes to show criminally stupid and cruel knows no race - even whites can be that.

Does anyone actually KNOW what race the three kids are? Everything I see from the right says "three black teens". Rap says the "white" one is only "half white", "like Obama". That, of course, makes him "black". You say one may be Hispanic, or maybe "half Hispanic". Doesn't that show just how insane this whole thing is to some?

My point is, we've got plenty of people of all "colors" killing others of all "colors"...as long as that's what it is, we're not focusing on the real problems that go into people killing one another, it seems to me. And for too many of us, it seems to be the WHOLE focus...

I'm sure the killing of strangers by strangers predates the federal welfare state. Check the Bible for examples. Or check literature. A favorite of mine is: "She would have been a good woman if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." That's spoken by the killer in A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor (1953). I don't think you should assume that FDR and his welfare system established during the Great Depression was responsible for the murders in the story, but go right ahead believing that before FDR there were no random killings in the USA. As in most of your life, nobody will stop you but yourself until you kill somebody.

Because a significant majority of that population is underprivileged due to historical whatsits, and poverty breeds crime.

As does a lack of education, which also applies to this and another of your favourite issues, if you want to bring up certain parts of the Muslim world, which I think you do.

What I don't understand is your driving need to constantly highlight this issue. At least with Wulf he grew up in some horrible conditions in the innercity and I can get why he focuses on this so much.

Reading skills so low, he can't tell the difference between laughing at the crime (which anyone with common sense knows isn't the case) and laughing at his dumb-ass comment (which was clearly quoted).

Another day in rappyland, the dumbest place on Earth!

Oy, like I said, Niki, I'mma confused. Too complicated to follow. I'm just a baby gosling, feel like somebody's been juggling me.

Don’t Ignore Race in Christopher Lane’s Murder

It does seem like we were supposed to ignore it in the Zimmerman/Martin case, but keep it front and center here.

You have it exactly 180 degress backwards.

Race was MAIN issue w/ Zimmerman, and the 'White Hispanic' label, from the MSM. Here, it gets swept under the rug, as 'bored teens ' is used to describe the murdering dirt bags.

How you don't see the double standard, staring at you right in the face, is baffling.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
