I think the odds of a person actually doing something like this of their own accord are infinitesimally small, and I think its pretty naive to believe otherwise, yet now we have been programmed to.
I don't know if that's true or not, but it's definitely true that some people wouldn't act alone. I don't believe either Leopold or Loeb would have killed anyone on their own. And the two guys that were the killers from the murder in
In Cold Blood, Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, were examined by psychiatrists who came to the conclusion that neither man had the personality of a killer, but when they were together they created a third separate and distinct personality that was capable of murdering the Clutter family.
That, plus common sense, which everybody has forgotten how to employ.
