So you may breathe easier, I do not endorse the murder of this woman, but recognize her sociopathy will exist as long as she does. Most of the peeps furious at the idiot would not kill her, even if the State gave us permission to pull the trigger, but do not doubt their rage is real.

Humans are barely rational. To some people, cats and dogs are their "children". If the pet owners had caught the idiot in the act and beaten the crap out of her, I would be hard-pressed to convict what could be considered a "crime of passion". If they actually killed her...I dunno.

As for providing a 'conservative counterpoint' to the sift, I say what needs to be said with no concern for the outcome. People don't comment on the internet to challenge their own ideas, even if it happens from time to time.

Every day we are subjected to story after story of vile scum getting away with all manner of crimes. Too often it's actually worse for society when they are captured alive and carted off to be treated like kings, defended by an army of parasitic lawyers as a reward for breaking in to someone's house or business or physically assaulting the elderly or children, and that's just local news, ignoring the usual cadre of dick-tators/Illuminati or whomever stands in for "the forces of evil" on a global scale.
There is no moral confusion about this vid. This a crime people understand on a fundamental level, a cruel act towards a defenseless animal. There are billions of instances like this, most perhaps far worse. The cat represents ALL those abused animals and unfortunately for this idiot, she now represents ALL those human vermin that abuse animals and get away with it, except she got caught.

A world where a human would get euthanized for putting a cat in a bin would be a special kind of hell. Any act that causes suffering to another being, whether its human or cat (or a cow?, or a rat? Where do you draw the line?) could fit your criteria. And what about emotional trauma? Plenty of suffering and damage is inflicted without ever laying a finger on another. Furthermore, you can't just neat and tidily remove a person from existence. What about all the people who love and depend on that person?
While it's vastly different than the policies of Hitler and Stalin, any practical attempt at applying your ideology would make you a greater tyrant and a greater enemy of freedom than all the Hitler and Stalins of the world combined. Like most of your posts, you're not providing a conservative counter balance to the liberal bias of the Sift. Your ideas are just so ridiculous that it only alienates your position.

I'm kind of flabbergasted that you still haven't figured out that most of us already know these things, and they aren't what we are talking about. Still, if you must rant...>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Killing innocent creatures for fun is evil, whether the innocent creature is a baby, a pet kitty, a pet puppy or a pet bunny. Also, baby killing and pet killing are not mutually exclusive. Torturing animals is a common trait among serial killers. I'm kind of flabbergasted that these arguments have to be made.

"Sooo... uh, yeah, not really sure what 'fallacy' you had in mind in your angry little rant..."

It's the fallacy called "weak analogy". From twenty-one years ago... week one of Philosophy 101, I believe.

You can make analogy for ANY two things. A "weak analogy" isn't saying the comparisons you are making aren't true. It's saying that the comparisons you are making don't support your original claim, or, that the two things being compared aren't alike in ways relevant to your point.

So, what is shponglefan's claim? Well, if you can wade through his (or her, w/e) spittle, he was defending his position that she should be killed, unless, of course, by "taken out of the gene pool" he simply meant fitted and forced to wear a chastity device of some kind. I'm gonna assume it was the former. His analogy of baby and cat was in defence of that claim. Mentality basically stated he was a psycho for wishing for her death, and shponglefan defended his position by making the analogy. His claim is that babies and cats have either moral or legal equivalency when it comes to meting out punishment (if I see it correctly).

Of course it was a dispicable act. No stable person wantonly hurts animals. But animals, and, specifically in this case, the cat, aren't the same as babies in the eyes of the law. The legal (and moral) realities of society just don't permit executions for animal abuse, as much as you wish it. If that had been a baby, she'd never see daylight again, and the police wouldn't be protecting her, they'd have thrown her in jail where she would be in mortal danger if the story ever permeated the inmate population. If the hypothetical baby had died, she may be facing the death penalty. The fact is that animal abuse is not the same as child abuse. Not by a long shot. Shponglefan pulled the analogy out of his ass to cover his irrational call for her death. It was an emotional appeal that had no bearing to either the facts, or his own premise. It was a WEAK ANALOGY.

Your comparisons of babies and cats, while all true, don't support your claim that shponglefan was making a good point. If you are defending shponglefan's "point" because babies and kittens make similar noises when they are young, and/or because babies and cats are the same size when born, then your first paragraph is also a WEAK ANALOGY. If you weren't offering the analogy as support for your claim, then it's a red herring. Either way, you got it wrong.

And no, I wouldn't hire her.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Comparing a cat to a child is more apt than you might think. Our fascination with cats (dogs too) springs from parental instincts. Pets are roughly the size of human babies. They make noises similar to a young child. They are dependent on our feeding and care and in return they give us love and affection. Our interaction with pets is very much like our interaction with children.
The outrage in this thread seems very instinctual and evolutionary to me. Anyone who would purposely jeopardize a young fragile life in this manner should be cast out for the well being of the tribe. Child murderer = baaaaad. The violent rhetoric in this thread serves as negative reinforcement to this kind of sociopathic behavior.
Would you hire this woman to baby sit your kid? (If you said no, your evolutionary instinct is in good shape.)
Sooo... uh, yeah, not really sure what 'fallacy' you had in mind in your angry little rant, but you got it wrong. shponglefan has made a good point here.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

We get this from time to time, like other sites that run network ads. I'll look into it and see if I can trigger it.

Thanks

Hello statist,

So, I posted this page on my facebook: http://videosift.com/video/Genuine-psychopath-caught-on-camera

And one of my friends wrote this: "My internet security program went nuts when I went to that page videosift. So be careful and everyone that went to that page better scan their computers."

I reassured him all was fine, but I wanted to let you know in case you've heard a similar complaint in the past.

Putting someone's pet in a garbage bin where the animal could potentially remain and die of dehydration is the act of a psycho. Bitch deserves to be taken out of the gene pool.

Yes she deserves to be punished. But all you people who wish death and terrible things to this woman - look in the mirror - you're the fucked up psychos.


Dare I say, bullshit? Some of us can see the difference between wanting something and doing something. I would want her to be punished, but I'm not going to go out and beat her up


You want her to be punished, as do I. I doubt that you, or anyone here except QM seriously wants her to die.

And you talk about the difference between wanting something and doing something. The thing that stops us from doing is either our inability or our fear of the consequences of our actions. Both of these can also apply to a psychopath. A psychopath does not have to commit any crimes, and there are many psychopaths that are highly functional in society.

Sorry, downvote on this one. I cannot in good conscience see this as a valuable addition to the sift. It is like glorifying that woman rather than trying to ignore her.
I know some will disagree and argue that the sift will help get the word out, but I respectfully disagree and think this video, while likely submitted with the best intentions, has no place on the sift.
You asked for it, I completely disagree and find your reasoning closed minded. The sift is here for anyone and everyone to see many things. Sure there are limitations on what can appear on here, but if you can't handle the harsh reality stuff, I suggest not watching it. While I found what the woman did disgusting, it's reality and the submitter chose to share it with us.



p.s. I assure you, she has received nothing but death threats and vitriol for her actions because of the internet. Your logic of her being glorified is completely inaccurate.
