Animal cruelty in children is a classic precursor to the onset of psychopathy/antisocial disorder later in life. It doesn't necessarily mean he's going to turn into a serial killer, but if I were his father he'd be in therapy the next day.

You are forgetting that most kids will say they did nothing wrong regardless of whether they believe it or not. It is a defense mechanism to avoid getting in trouble.

That's really freaking creepy.

It's the truth. It's not far off from how medical doctors see human beings. Sorry, I don't pretend we are made of cream and sugar on the inside, we are just animals made of meat and gray matter just like everything else :D I'm a realist more than anything else.

I kill ducks with a shotgun. What's the difference?

I'm getting sick of this serial killer prediction crap.

My good friend in highschool would have his best friend throw a cat up in the air and shoot it with 12 gauge-I was only there one time and it was disturbing because he wanted us to enjoy it as much as he did-and we didn't.
