i think very few people are born evil. very very very few. i do think that growing up people can sometimes become sociopaths/psychopaths.
i think gang members are sociopaths. you have to have very little empathy to kill people over senseless things. it really isn't a 'white' person thing.

Thanks for the info wonderland.
I really hate all the misconceptions the media is giving about mental illness, especially autism. They make sure to repeatedly identify that he had autism and then briefly say "we don't mean to suggest that had anything to do with it though?"

Autism isn't a mental illness...

Looks like we might finally get some type of gun control....
Didn't some other guy a few days ago try to go on a mass shooting spree at a mall and his gun jammed ...... he only killed like 2 people?

You are correct. I was stating my frustration of them lumping autism in with mental illnesses. It just wasn't worded properly.

Gang members aren't sociopaths/psychopaths. They are desensitized to violence though.
Casey Anthony might be a pyscho/socio.

the whole gang member mentality is different to me.
gang members want a family, they want to belong...they develop this us vs them mentality and they feel that theyre gaining loyalty, family, money, security, etc.
i'm not saying that gang members aren't crazy b/c they are...but it stems from longing, not necessarily from evil. they're misguided.

i understand it might stem from somewhere else, and not a longing need to be evil, but it still effects communities in the same way.

i definitely do not think gang members are sociopaths. they dont get off on killing people, they look at it like kill or be killed. survival. |

IMO in the religion sense--since we are all imperfect and all fail in the eyes of the Lord due to original sin--then why wouldn't pure evil exist? a defect from original sin
