Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Psychopaths do not fit seamlessly into society.
The trail of misery and destruction can be easily seen behind them, and if not, then they're not bothering anyone. People with no empathy might still like to live in peace. They can also be extremely helpful if it helps them. Don't we all do things to help others expecting something in return? The others are what jails are mostly made up of. Stupid psychopaths are the majority of psychopaths. Sure, you'll find them in boardrooms, but you won't have to search far to find one living in the street. In my experience, the really dangerous people are the passionate, empathic type people. They know right from wrong but their heart is blind. 
Some movies are made to draw assholes to do their thing, like a Hollywood movie about Muslims called "The Message", from wikipedia:
Quote:In 1977, as the film was scheduled to premiere in the United States, a splinter group of the black nationalist Nation of Islam calling itself the Hanafi Movement staged a siege of the Washington, D.C. chapter of the B'nai B'rith. Under the mistaken belief that Anthony Quinn played Muhammad in the film, the group threatened to blow up the building and its inhabitants unless the film's opening was cancelled. The standoff was resolved after the deaths of a journalist and a policeman, but "the film's American box office prospects never recovered from the unfortunate controversy."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Apparently these were Muslim youths but the BBC and other news agencies won’t include that detail as if it’s completely irrelevant. However, there’s open reporting on the speculation that the theaters are racist for pulling the film.
Brown people attack white people with machetes and the spin is that white people are targeting black artists. And people wonder why the UK voted for Brexit.

 Quote:"The fact that the perpetrators of the violence were not even from the Black British community – although annoying – is less important than the fact that for some reason Vue has seen fit to punish the creators of Blue Story for the actions of others." https://metro.co.uk/2019/11/24/vue-accus...-11210857/ No mention of them "being part of the British Asian community" though. It's a pity the speaker and oh so many authors choose to partition the population into "communities" denoted by racial identity. Separate but equal and all that. I identify as part of the global community and also those who live in my immediate geographical neighbourhood. Why lump people together based on something people have no choice over and which SHOULD be totally irrelevant. ![[Image: 3-DE994-A8-E659-4110-A2-DA-B0-F97-B14-F6-B9.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/d11td2Dt/3-DE994-A8-E659-4110-A2-DA-B0-F97-B14-F6-B9.jpg) Maybe it’s relevant or maybe it’s not but the newspapers are supposed to report the facts. The who, what, when, where, and why. If a kid goes swinging a machete in a theater you report on who he is and that includes his background. 100 kids come in- what features do they have in common? Ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, neighborhood, all of it. That’s reporting on WHO did it. Yesterday youtube had several videos where they showed the kids’ faces and the comment sections were full of comments about their ethnicity. Ugly or not, the media shouldn’t whitewash it.
why is nobody talking about banning machetes, knifes, forks, pencils(and maybe sharp nails)?
How can you tell from that picture that these kids are Muslims?
