At the same time, it also signals some level of mental degradation on the part of the killer, no matter the scenario. We have fought amongst ourselves at the political level, at the individual level, as well as the community level, and have let slip just how ugly we can be as a people many times. We are indeed a cruel lot, otherwise beating someone to death wouldn’t occur in our minds at all. While I call our people brutal and cruel, we must also think of another aspect: Is there something fundamentally wrong with our psyche that is leading us into behaving this way? Is the media that we consume as entertainment and information leading us to be cruel?
