What do you learn from bashing a cat to death? You can just beat a human anywhere and it'll have to cause SOMETHING. God, mankind is so stupid.

Here's another faith-in-humanity killing article.

Dude, there must be something psychologically wrong with that kid. There's no way anyone in their right mind would come to the conclusion "Hey, I should shoot them for that!"

I have no faith in humanity whatsoever now.

Oh, and yeah, that stuff is pretty brutal. I bet there were people who read it and were like "well that sucks" apathetically but when it came to the cats they were all "aww why the cats!?"

Nietzsche said it first. The question is, how right was he?

This world has gone to shit. And I'm being optimistic here. This shows some of the more rancid parts of it...

Now, I'm not too big on gore, so I didn't watch the video, but I did read the article, and that sure as hell doesn't amaze me at all. Stuff like this goes on every single day, this particular act was recorded and released to the public.

The totality of humanity *is* trash. The bad outweighs the good, and that's an understatement. That's like trying to put Rosie O'Donnell on one side of the scale and.. maybe... a Bic Pen on the other.

Last view: 4308 days 		I demand justice for the boys. Lot's of "I thinks" and "They were forced to plea guilty" is interesting enough for me. Also, just a side note but I'm betting there are russians involved (It's the fucking Ukraine, no matter how many times people vote for anti-russian presidents they always seem to oversee the control Russia has over it anyway, *cough* Georgia *cough*).

Also, it's sickening to see so many people mindlessly just go "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" and not like "WHAHAPEN?!"

EDIT: Upon watching the video and the more recently posted article (Thanks Arbe), I think I get it now. The reason both parties killed in their own fashions proves to me that this world is separated by the compassionate and those deserving it. You all, whoever says "Die, murderer", should feel ashamed.

Assuming you imply Russians are involved in them being "forced to plea guilty", I don't really see how this would compute - the videos speak for themselves, and "the parents say so" is much better explainable with the usual parental delusion - out of the few parents who could accept the reality that their children would do something like that, how many would admit to the whole world that they are sadistic murderers? - than with some kind of elaborate conspiracy theory about foreign influence. Besides, your apparent hunger for connecting this to Russia (South Ossetia thread anyone?) could easily be satisfied the other way around - on the video, the language they speak is clearly Russian, making them more likely than not part of the ~30% Russian-speaking minority of the country.

Disgusting as it is, I don't think I actually learned anything about humans from this video I didn't already know.

One question this video raised for me is if it is better to widely report, with graphic footage, about incidents such as this or to suppress them in order to protect the wide public's innocence. I can see arguments for either side (for the former point, I still believe that the sterile bubble people make themselves at home in makes it all too easy for politicians and terrorists alike to exert control through basic fears they have too few experience with to handle rationally; on the latter, having a more accurate picture of what people are capable of might lead many to advocate even more control and surveillance and undermine the "people wouldn't abuse them because they aren't bad like that" justification for freedoms that is still essential for many) and am not quite sure which side outweighs the other.
