Because not all killers are sociopaths, and not all sociopaths are killers. I was court order diagnosed as ASPD so i'm technically a sociopath, you don't see me shooting people. And it isn't that i have no empathy, it's that i compartmentalize empathy.
Ever wondered why serial killers try to justify their crimes? Because they do feel guilt, they just ignore it by telling themselves they're right. For if they let the full horror of what they had really become into their mind they'd kill themselves from the misery.
1 in every 100 is sociopathic, so everyone knows one....they're common as can be. Two on IIN at least.
The "iceman" is a great example, he was a sociopathic hitman, but he loved his wife and kids so much that he would be devestated to loose them. So he obviously feels empathy very strongly, but CHOOSES to ignore it when killing.
Do you think that Anger is genetic or a learned behaviour ?
