I’m sorry but the level of violence in this article goes beyond just someone losing their temper because of life circumstances . These were actions, and suggests to me a psychopath beyond reform.
The violence goes well beyond what you believe can be caused by life circumstances.
There is a lot of evidence that “normal” people can do horrific things.
Your refusal to believe that a person could do this, and not just some monster, says a lot about your life. You should be thankful for that.
Uh huh. You know absolutely nothing about my life and what I’ve been through so if I were you I’d be very careful about making assumptions.
Then why aren’t you more careful making assumptions about others?
I haven’t made one. My point still stands. This level of premeditated violence that was not done under duress (i.e. literal or metaphorical gun point) was an act of complete free will and are the actions of a psychopath.
Short of a lobotomy or extremely strong psychiatric drugs some people are beyond reform.
It’s amusing that you come across as directing your hostility to me on the Internet, which I’m sure you will deny. I’m not the one burning people here while their kids watch.

I think what @Cypher@lemmy.world was getting at was that we need to help people, especially men, to prevent them from becoming “a psychopath beyond reform”. Simply put, addressing the upstream problem

I know what they meant. I just disagree. Some people are just inherently fucked and intervention won’t always work. There are bad seeds out there unfortunately and ignoring this fact with wishful thinking won’t make it to away.

So you believe that people are just born evil?

Evil is a subjective term, but I believe traits of a psychopath are heritable and studies do support this.
