"there is a powerful, God-given resistance to killing your own kind. Almost every species has it. Only sociopaths lack this violence immune system."- Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman.
This quote was given by a West Point military psychologist while he was giving us his input on the subject of teenage killers. The article is about television’s effect on possible teenage psychotics. It states that television can trigger the urge to act out in violence. These kids and teens become amused by the violence they witness on the television stations they watch. Grossman confesses that he is expecting more 12 year old killers to be occurring in the nation. He thinks this because kids and teens watch television a lot and then act out due to the violence that is influenced on them. It also talks about how the murder rate doubled between 1957 and 1992 and the aggravated assault rate has multiplied many times.
