I
said it before and I'll say it again: Humans tend to opt for the
lower, baser, primitive instincts of our nature. Humans also learn
things by observation and imitation. When faced with an enemy
whose ethos preaches, supports and glorifies no-holds-barred hatred and violence some humans will respond in kind.
It is a law of
nature.
To prevent this, we have created civilization. But
"Civilization is not self-supporting. It is artificial. If you are not
prepared to concern yourself with the upholding of civilization -- you
are done." (Ortega y Gasset).
This
is what happened with these murderers. They gave in to the most
primitive of rage. What I would like to know is what is their
relationship with civilization and how come they grew so wild that they
could even come together, think together, plot and carry out such a
horror.
More
important I want to know who is truly responsible for turning these
persons into murdering monsters. Who is the inciter? Who told them this
can be done and that it is right?
