When I spawn offspring I'll tell them to grab a piece of wood and wrap it around the heads of the people picking on them. But that is so unacceptable nowadays.
    I have two kids, I taught them exactly what you said (and what we were told when we were young) and they are turning out wonderful, happy, well-mannered and nobody's fool. But this has nothing to do with the topic. It's a funny thing that almost nobody ever reacts when you refer to a smart, expert profiler's view such as Müllers. It implies that maybe we could do at least something to avoid some, even if not all, of these horrible incidents. How do you vet kids for dangerous violent fantasies? Most kids have violent fantasies in some form and they turn out fine regardless. And supposing that you could filter out such kids, how do you treat them? Give them treatments that isolate them even more and feed their fantasies? It's a tough one. I know you know and like A Clockwork Orange, Frag, so you should understand the paradox here, which is that anti-violent treatment could actually increase the violence in a kid's life in some way or other.
