I'd guess pretty much everyone you sit next to currently is capable of committing a serious, violent crime under the right (wrong) circumstances.
- sethammons 6y agoI agree. Given some circumstance or set of them, the overwhelming vast majority of people are capable of extreme violence. What is scary is those who enjoy violence and causing harm. My grandma worked in the next cube over from a guy for years. "Nicest guy ever." He spent his weekends cutting people into parts and mailing the the parts around.

If you consider circumstances where society would generally consider violence justified then maybe. Historically even in combat only a small percentage of people would intentionally shoot to kill.
