Psychopaths


Fire burning.

For those did not know a single thing about arson attack at Kampar recently


While everyone is guessing what is the real motive behind all these arson attacks, there's something came across us, i mean me and him. *smile* Not agreeing that this must be the reasons behind but it still one kind of possibility right? Now, this is what i've been saying. Psychopaths, it can be either Sociopathic personality or antisocial Personality disorder, i guess. *lol* Well, antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition in which a person has a long term pattern of manipulating, exploiting or violating the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal. And i really do mean criminal.


So, are those psychopath's sadists? Yes. Besides the fact that anyone who has had a run in with such an individual will tell you that, we now even have 'picture proof' that they enjoy hurting others. In fact they seem to enjoy inflicting all types pain (harm) on other. (Dr Liane Leedom, 2008) This kind of person shows an abnormal thinking pattern, where he completely disregards the feelings and choices of others around them and their behavior can even run a destructive streak.


Concerning psychopathy and sadism Dr. J. Reid Meloy published the 'The Psychology of Wickedness: Psychopathy and Sadism (1997), he stated "some of the psychodynamics of the psychipath bring us closer to what we see as their evil, or their wish to destroy goodness. Psychopaths are aggressively narcissistic and this aspect of their character pathology is often expressed behaviorally by the repetitive devaluation of others, but not predominantly in fantasy, as we see in narcissistic personality disorder but in reality. Psychopaths generally do this for two reasons: first, to maintain grandiosity or their sense of being larger than life, and second, to repair perceived insults or emotional wounds by retaliating against those they hold responsible. Well, these are what Dr. J. Reid Meloy's statements.


Anyhow, antisocial personality disorder is the most highly correlated mental disorder with crime. That's why it has came across my mind of the arsonist in Kampar lately. They are thrill seekers, literally fearless. So how to catch these people? I got no idea.


Anyway, Kamparians and Utarians please take care and becareful all the time. Crime rate is rising and we are living in danger. Take care. =)
