do they not have a ******* ounce of a brain in them?!

This is the worrying thing… They do have a brain, it’s just that their brain seems to be wired in a slightly different way. These actions are not mindless, as much as some people may think they are I personally don’t really believe that’s the case. To put a firework through someone’s letterbox a person has to go through a process of thought; they know what the consequences may be and they know the firework will probably start a fire, they also know people are inside the house so from that it can only be assumed they have the full intent to harm those inside.

I’m no psychologist, but it seems these people are capable of certain thought processes but not others; they know what the consequences of their actions are likely to be but lack the reason to see why their actions are wrong. Many serial killers and murderers have been highly intelligent individuals, but something’s still missing. I don’t know whether it’s their ‘fault’ as such; whether their thoughts and behaviour were influenced by factors outside their control or whether some people are just simply born evil. Either way, I’m very glad this sad incident seems to be getting treat as a murder case.
