Understanding human behavior from a psychological perspective IS NOT excuse making. Just like if you beat the shit out of a kid as a parent growing up it is very far more likely to become an adult who will do that to their own kids. It is also why we know that both child molestation and sexual assault of adults are both crimes of opportunity and not sexual preference. Those teens did not do it because they were black, they did it for the same reasons I did destructive things.
You subject any human or group of humans to similar conditions our actions on average are going to look similar. Any psychiatrist or psychologist can tell you that toddlers not subject to the sell of tribalism of the parents, if left in a room together with no indoctrination, will form their own social structures.
Still excuses for the individual(s) not to know right from wrong. Or is it that they did know, but didn't care?
No it is not, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. I'd suggest talk to the experts instead of buying bullshit simplistic Judge Judy nonsense. T
Them caring or not caring is not the issue long term dumbass. How do WE as a society foster long term conditions that reduce events like that. If you are unwilling to think long term, then you are as uncaring about your own house. It would be the same mentality as refusing to ignore your check engine light.
My empathy in saying "that could have been me" isn't excuse making. It is saying when I lacked social structure myself I look back and wish someone had stepped in, not just for me, but for those I hurt. There was a time when I didn't care and that is why I did what I did.
