History would suggest otherwise, and there are far too many to enumerate. Man has perpetrated horror and misery upon his fellow man since before such events were recorded, and continues to do so today. Raping and killing children continues to this day by radical groups who believe their “god” is telling them to do so.

This poor girl had the staggeringly bad luck to end up with a bunch of fucking meth heads who probably have no memory of what they’ve done, but all too often perpetrators are fully aware of their crimes.

I think examples of “mob mentality” support the notion that under the right circumstances, many otherwise “normal” people can do unconscionable things.

Probably because the girl was in the bathroom of the house they were in. The girl was under a blanket that was on fire.

One jumped off a balcony and tried to run, so that looks suspicious.

I find it hard to believe that someone snuck into their house and grabbed the girl and then sexually assaulted her and started cutting off her limbs and then somehow escaped when the cops showed up without anyone in the house hearing or knowing.

The only problem I have is the OP’s use of the terms “monsters” and “animals.”

Monsters are huge and strong. Those three were small and weak; they only appeared to be monsters to the victim.

And animals are beautiful, noble creatures. They were definitely not animals.

You are talking about vengeance. I’m glad our justice system knows the distinction between that and justice.

I hate that people like that exist. I’m not a fan of extrajudicial justice but reading stuff like this makes me reconsider.

The thought that always occurs to me when I read stories like this is:

How do you advertise for a sick activity like this? It seems like at least _one_ person would have said “no” and notified the police before finding someone willing. Even if you’re scouring the [dark web](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_web), the law of averages suggests that you’re going to find more people against this activity than for it. Even the majority of child molesters and pederasts would say, “that’s a little too far for me.”

One would think, anyway. Maybe I’m just too optimistic about human nature.

When that happens you probably don’t hear about it because the crime never actually occurs. It doesn’t make for as big a news story.

Or whoever has decided that’s too much of a line for them to cross, had their own demons to hide and protect. If you’re already a pedophile with kiddie porn on your computer, I’m thinking your own self-interests are more important than some theoretical (to you) child.

Our justice system (every justice system) has an element of revenge. For whatever its worth, these three will not fare well in jail.

Maybe I watch too much TV, but an anonymous phone call…?

Or hell, use the DarkWeb itself to hide your identity and forward the address of the offer. LEAs do monitor the DarkWeb and will act if they detect something that may be imminent.

Then again it could be someone who sees such an “offer” and says to themselves “oh, come on, no &$^%# way, that has GOT to be a sting set-up”.

Likening these cretins to the Crawling Chaos is an insult to Nyarlathotep, who has more of a conscience than any of those so-called people.
