Also they're just sick. They're killing people and whether you think it's justified or not (obviously it's not) that should mean something. Instead they're running around laughing like an axe murderer in some terrible horror movie. Completely broken people
There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.
