, "just because they can." What is it with this term. I have watched interviews with serial killers ,pedophiles, bill Clinton, and now the term is used in describing CBS. Is it just something that is in the pathology of criminals.

Yes it is a common criminal pathology.

"Just because I can", is a sociopath's outcry for lack of attention or consequences. That is, some sociopaths crave a particular kind of order and when they perceive none, they "act out" to show the system its own folly. They rationalize and justify themselves and elevate their thoughts of order by concluding that society deserved it for not paying attention to them or preventing them from commiting the act.

Not a psychologist this is just psych 101 undergrad babble combined with too many CSI episodes
