Hello people of buddhist forum. This is the case of the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnepropetrovsk_maniacs

This people where in their fully mental capabilities and they did this attrocities to all forms of life.

Do you feel outraged for this acts?

Also there is another disturbing case in the internet.

Abaout a girl who crushes, tortures and kills baby rabbits.


And even worst all the crimes commited against humans like the ones Dnepropetrovsk maniacs.

They started killing animals wich maybe means that all people that like to watch suffer animals are one step of doing it to humans.

Where is all this evil coming from?

Didn't we just have a thread on this?

I saw a video on UTube about a racist guy in Russia who would post UTube videos encouraging people to beat up anyone of non-European ethnicity: foreign students, Native nationalities, people from the Central Asian republics (former Sov. Union) in Moscow to find work, anyone.

"The Blessed One said, "Monks, the ending of the fermentations is for one who knows & sees, I tell you, not for one who does not know & does not see. For one who knows what & sees what? Appropriate attention & inappropriate attention. When a monk attends inappropriately, unarisen fermentations arise, and arisen fermentations increase."

"From inappropriate attention you're being chewed by your thoughts. Relinquishing what's inappropriate, contemplate appropriately. Keeping your mind on the Teacher, the Dhamma, the Sangha, your virtues, you will arrive at joy, rapture, pleasure without doubt. Then, saturated with joy, you will put an end to suffering & stress."


>Do you feel outraged for this acts?

No.

When I was a young boy, there was a kid in the neighborhood that all the children understood was trouble and avoided. We knew he liked to torture cats and other stray animals because we found the remains and he bragged about it to us. If anyone took the invitation to do it with him, I didn't find out but it's possible. Why didn't we "tell" on him? Because we were children, and afraid of getting in trouble and some parents probably were told and didn't want to confront the family.

Eventually he disappeared and rumor was, he got in trouble for trying to mess with a young girl and was "sent away". Adults just didn't talk about that sort of thing with their children back then.

So what made this kid different? What made the young people who killed in the case above eager to kill and willing to do so just for the pleasure of it? There's a whole library of criminal psychology that just shrugs its shoulders and says we don't know.

I'm not outraged, just sad.

I know quite a lot about this case.

I first came across it when I was in the UK about 4-5 years ago. I was at a friends house and he has 2 PCs, so we use to sit and play poker and play games etc. Then a Polish friend of ours came up and showed us this video, it was the video of them killing a homeless guy with screwdrivers and other utensils. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, I had a sick feeling in my stomach. Anyway I think the video has long been wiped from the net, maybe it is still out there but it was something that was given as evidence against them obviously. They actually were stupid enough to film some of the murders on their phone...

If I remember correctly, they all came from average-wealthy backgrounds and there was little signs of trouble at home.

Alot of serial killers start by killing animals, there are traits that can be found in almost every serial killer and some can be found at an early age. For example, lighting fires, hurting/killing animals, wetting the bed often, violent acts and some others you can find within their childhood. Of course, one or two traits by themself would not be substantial enough, but when you look at the bigger picture you usually can put them into a profile.

The human mind is vastly complex, I personally cannot understand why all of these boys were able to be commit the same acts that to be honest, were very cold and very graphic, the comments that they made on the video as well were shocking by themselves, but that is life and I am sure people have been doing this stuff for thousands of years.
