Second of all, all kinds of people - even victims of bullying - can murder too.
I don't believe in justice or laws. I don't believe in murder being bad. It's just a means to an end. I don't see a connection between murder and bad people.
I have to agree with you, in a sense. Often people who bully or commit crimes have been bullied or had rough times in the past and want to inflict their pain on others. I don't know why people do this, it just makes the world worse. They act like people don't "understand" their pain. It seems like our young generation makes a big deal about little things, like "I just got dumped! Woe is me! I should shoot someone because they need to feel what I feel too!"
Well, while it's overreacting to shoot somebody because of being dumped, spreading the pain is a way of levelling the playing field. If you can't feel better, then at least you won't feel worse than everyone else. This is why I smile when I see people hurt sometimes. It's a welcoming "Glad you could join us." smile.
I can understand that. I went through a divorce at nine, and even though I was depressed at first I got better about it, but I think that's the worst thing that happened in my life thus far. I can agree that people overreact about menial things and take it like it's the worst thing to happen to them, and I usually just think to myself "Welcome to the world, buddy." when someone actually gets depressed over something serious.
