TOPIC: Another ghastly murder by mad people

Another ghastly murder by mad people 10 Years, 5 Months ago  
Just like the other barmy killers and the bonkers false accusers and people who blow up planes and trains and green ink brigade members and "we are ruled by lizards" or "I've been abducted by aliens" - don't give loonies the excuses of religion or politics or anything. They are simply mad.

I'm not entirely sure that they are mad.

Madness implies a lack of logic and thought ... but I think these people are very cold and calculating and put a lot of thought into what they do.

Wicked, evil, barbaric, primeval .... yes, I will go along with all of those descriptions, but mad? No - these people know exactly what they are doing, which is what makes them even more dangerous.

Fair point ITK; perhaps it's not madness, just dangerous delusion.

Adam Curtis has made this superb film (over 2 hours) looking at the last 100 years in the Middle East. Very interesting.

I haven't seen this and I will do, but it disturbs me how manipulative and sometimes ill-informed Curtis is. On topics that I know in depth, he's been alarmingly simplistic, and yet his films seem to be treated with incredible reverence.

war is the ideal time for like minded sociopaths to come together.
Murderous psychopaths then have a 'legal' way to kill.

I am still of the mind that as horrendous as this murder is, it is little different to the US sending drones to kill whoever they like.

Let's not forget who started this mayhem in the ME without giving a thought to what they would unleash.

One of the experts on the news this evening was basically saying that the horrified reaction was part of their aim. So every online comment about it is probably a little win for them.

Good point JO; I wondered when the media went on about "burned alive" although (of course) they are FAR too responsible to show the actual video, that I'm amazed the media can be so openly and obviously manipulated. Terrorists realise (don't we all) that the only thing that matters to the media is a good story.

Just as they did in Vietnam.

Is dropping tons of Napalm not "burning people alive"?

... or Hiroshima ?

That photo of the little girl running in panic, alight, is iconic.

Her name is Kim Phuc ... she went on to build a good career for herself.
