i'd be willing to bet that the torturer was abused as a child.

amazing what human beings are capable of sometimes.

I'm just glad I'm brain damaged so I can't feel the way you all feel.

Huh? It sounds like most of the responses expressed sorrow for what the girl experienced and hoped she'll be able to recover. How can you not feel that way?

Clearly it is the attacker, not the victim that needs help :rolleyes:

Didn't I just say my brain is damaged?

I often wonder why people get so upset over this kind of news. I just can't feel that way, so I say my brain is damaged. I just can't get angry about it, cry or anything. I just see how it is and that's all.

That doesn't mean I sympathize with the offender anymore than the victim. It just means I'M NOT CAPABLE OF SHARING YOUR FEELINGS.

Do you ever feel empathy? Or sympathy?

Sorry, man. And it isn't just my/our feelings. It is human feelings. Have you been diagnosed with some sort of psychosis? It really is quite abnormal to have no empathy. It also explains why your descriptions of sex are mechanical, and love becomes biochemical and physiological. When I say I'm sorry about your condition, I'm honestly not being facetious.

I can see how some people become numb to news after awhile. I do too. I mean every day we hear and read the same stories over and over again: war, death, murder, rape, assault, crime....

but once in awhile a story will come along and affect me, like this one. This was just too inhumane and barbaric. There wasn't anything this monster didn't do to that poor girl. I'm almost sad that she lived. How is she going to live a normal life now??

neither am i. it's quite fascinating at times, but also quite sad to me. but to all of you confused, he's not fucking around.

but not as sad as this story. it makes me nauseous. im sure she's grateful to still be alive... but honestly, i feel like id rather not have survived something like that.

I agree. Can you imagine the horrible nightmares she'll likely have forever. And I'm sure she'll have incredible trust issues. Not to mention how painful her rehabilitation must be. Eyelids getting cut open? Damn.

horrible. i don't even know what to say about it.

i'm sorry for the person above who said he/she feels nothing. actually, if i knew you personally, i would question your sanity. that type of lack of empathy for others is scary and could become dangerous. compasion is not weakness. it's something to be proud of. anyway, i wish you well.

it's a medical thing. don't worry.

Well now somebody should abuse him as an adult. He needs to be somebody's bitch in the slammer.

I actually feel the same about all people 'good' or 'bad'.

On my walk home tonight I almost cried. I know, hard to believe. I was thinking about when I was a young teenager on the verge of a murdering spree and I thought about Raymond.

Raymond was the one guy that cut me a break. He was a court appointed counsellor, but unlike the rest, he didn't try to crack open my head and fix me. All Raymond did was chill with me, we went and shot pool and stuff. He used to play in the band Klatu and I thought that was really cool. I idealized him and he befriended me. I get thinking sometimes, if it wasn't for Raymond, I could have been the next Starkweather. I just don't know.

So, yes it saddens me when things happen, but it's equally saddening that most people have no idea what it's like to be on that edge. I can't sympathize with the 32 people Cho killed anymore than Cho himself. Maybe that is psychopathic because pscyhopaths, not pyschos (psychosis), don't feel empathy for victims, but they may feel empathy for offenders. I don't know if that is brain damage from repeated trauma and head injury or if it's my own memories of a time when I could have gone that way.

Anyway, society will continue on in the same vain. And incidents like this will not decrease.

Well, the suspect in the drawing is black. So he is entitled to torture white girls as he pleases. I don't even know why their wasting man hours and tax payers money on looking for him. He's entitled!

Isn't there a white torturer out there we can focus our attentions on?

All this pickin-on of a black guy could get someone fired.
