You see, sometimes you see some fucked up shit in a movie and you think "oh ok, this is just for the sake of story, there's no way this has ever happened in real life"
Then you read an article like this.
How... How do you even come back from this? Is there any hope these people can get rehabilitated? I'm struggling to believe the answer is anything other than "NO."
I don't think there is.
I'd like to understand the physical and mental variations between the relatively normal population at large and these cretins, just to see if it's lead poisoning or what, but I'd pay tax money to let them eat nutrient loaf behind bars forever.
I say just do to them what they did to the animals.
That's problematic, you'll have to find the same kind of people and pay them.
Rather just terminate them.
Nah, you just put them up against each other, Thunderdome style, then execute the winner.
I don't like the idea of doing things their way, even by their own hands.
Just chair or gallows or something like that.
I think the same about Azeri war criminals (basically their entire army) too, for example.
On one hand I understand that society needs to be better than those it punishes.
On the other hand I'm wondering if we hit the hunger games or the running man first...
The sort of shit a 12 year old would come up with in a video game in an attempt to shock one's friends made manifest IRL by grown ass adults.
These people need watching for the rest of their lives to make sure they're not a serial killer in training because they're totally a serial killer in training.
Serial killers always escalate this is what they do they start off being cruel to animals and then it goes from there. These people can be stopped before they get anywhere else.
