"OMG, a couple jerk vandals dumped a chem kill in retail fish tank, so punish them as being 2 sociopaths who are likely to kill people someday". I was just saying that this act (as recorded) is a generally poor example for escalating psychopaths. it seems like they had no interest in watching, but just in doing damage and getting the hell away.
Umm, I would disagree that these two morons had no interest in watching. Perhaps these idiots were smart enough to beat it out of Wal-Mart before anyone found out, but I'm sure they are relishing in the nationwide coverage that it has gotten. I bet my left nut that they have watched the security footage of themselves over and over again, basking in the glow of their idiotic infamy. And like many dopes who commit crimes that otherwise would go unsolved, I hope they get the burning urge to tell their friends about what they did. So they can get the recognition that they so badly want and simultaneously dig their own graves (keeping my fingers crossed) by having one of these friends have the sense and morality to do the right thing and turn them in. It is not like these guys bought a couple feeders and killed them at home. They killed 1000 fish in a public display of cruelty and the sheer disregard for such a large number of animals is why they absolutely need to be caught, mentally evaluated and dealt with. This is sociopathic behavior - and yes, I agree that all sociopaths do not become serial killers or mass murderers, but I can confidently say that most serial killers and mass murderers have been diagnosed as sociopaths. If you need a refresher on the definition of the word, here it is...SOCIOPATH - a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.
