Seriously, what is wrong with people [GRAPHIC TEXT]

Not to say there's any lack of completely horrible stuff everywhere in the world. Sadly, you can find some of it in virtually any country in the world - something like this can never be explained rationally or culturally anyway, only total psychotic madness can drive people to rationalize something like this

At the same time though, it shouldn't take this much to outrage people. The average rapist or pleasure-killer isn't all that much better.

The difference between Japan and America is that you know that an American father, brother, uncle etc would spend their lives and their savings to kill those men. And be smiling when dragged to the courthouse.

Commonplace enough that we hear about it from time to time. We musn't forget that there is also good in the human race. Without that nobody would have to question the motives of those boys... we would already know by heart.

Maybe a better question would be: what drives me to do the right thing?

You would have to be seriously mental in the head to do that to another human being. Psychopaths.

Exactly!
The japanese entertainment industry and the explicity of the media is a proof that there is still something right about the catharsis theory.
At least it seems to be true in their society.
