They're all murders. They've all committed unspeakable crimes. And they're all men.
That begs the question, why? What's wrong with men that leads us to commit such horrors upon one another? Why aren't there any women on any of the top 25 worst serial killer/radical leaders/terrorists lists?
Every year; year after year, it continues. Unending. Men murdering men. Men murdering women. Men murdering children. Men committing horrendous crime after horrendous crime. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.
I think it has something to do with our inherent violent nature. When we feel victimized, men lash out. We're like animals in that way. We have no self-control. We're rash and act without thinking. It gets us into trouble and, in the end, we end up harming others.
Unfortunately I see no solution. I, and unfortunately everyone else, will have to bear witness to an unending account of stories like these until the end of man's reign on earth.
A Sad Reality indeed.
