But all of these people once were kids, some of them even had good parents, so they are not born sociopaths, they became sociopaths.


Mobsters are I think in a constant state of warfare and always ready to fight or runaway. Part of their mindset is to hurt people before they are able to hurt them.

But those guys carrying out the killings are more like soldiers. They can be compared to any soldier. Their role is to protect the mafias interest. Wthout them, there are no mafia.
