What worries me is that someone is going to say that "it was their drug addiction that made them kill the children.."
Reminds me that often German soldiers who were commanded to slaughter innocents had to drink a lot of vodka to be able to do it. Of course, the jihadi terrorists are totally committed to evil, unlike a lot of the German soldiers. But heavy intoxication will cover a person's conscience so they can do evil they would not otherwise be able to do.
A good book that had details of such slaughter and drinking is "Baba Yar" by - hmmm, can't remember the Russian name. Excellent book. Even though the author was a commie. He was a kid during the invasion and occupation of Kiev, and the entire book is his expierences and other first hand accounts. Riveting.
Someone just did.
I wouldn't say that the drugs made them kill the children, but they probably did desensitize them enough to enable them to kill the children, or at least to ignore their suffering. Junkies do tend to lose some of their humanity.
Many tin-foil types
believe that debased attacks
like this one are done
by people who've been
"mind-controlled" to perform acts
normal people can't.
If there's truth to this,
the drugs weren't the cause, just
part of the process
that broke the person's
sense of self and paved the way
to implant madness.
