It's hard to take a different point of view in a case like this. I risk it anyway.

To me it looks like this: Every four months or so there's some news about a cruel killer.
And some people here seem to need a guy like that to vent their own hate and cruelty.
However, there are some long term members from whom I've never heard words like "I want XY to suffer." or "I want XY to be skinned alive" or "XY is an animal".

The terrible message is that the killer is not an animal. He's human which is hard to stand. To say XY is an animal is the first step of the Lucifer Effect .
