I think this has less to do with them being irrational and "depraved" and more to do with them being so poorly informed that their perception of risk/reward is unaffected by anything other than experience.
- mcpackieh 3y agoPsychos slashing women with knives are poorly informed of what, exactly? Nobody ever told them that it's wrong to attack people?
- Nzen 3y agoAt this point in the conversation, I am struck with the realization that there are distinct conceptions of 'violent criminal' in the minds of the authors of each post in the preceding exchange. Unless that notion is synchronized, perhaps by talking about a specific individual known/knowable to all parties, the conversation can not serve as a vehicle for communication any longer.
- mcpackieh 3y agoNow I'm even more confused.
- kouru225 3y agoHe said it right there. Poorly informed about risk and reward.
- mcpackieh 3y agoSo his theory is that the psychos weren't informed of the risk of getting caught? This is just absurd, just bending-over backwards to cast psychos knifing women as victims. Please get a grip and find a more deserving subject for your overzealous pity.

They have a reason behind wanting to kill and that reason outweighs any other desire, despite knowing the risks of killing people (death, prison, etc) which we can assume far outweigh their motivation.
