[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am stunned that the victim's friends were so cold and uncaring, despite her obvious distress and what sounds like visible injuries from being beaten. When I think back to my freshman year of college i can not imagine even one of my friends reacting that way, let alone a whole group of them. Telling her she should have enjoyed it? That she'll be "that girl" and ruin their chances at getting into a sorority or fraternity?  I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that it wasn't just one crappy (personality disordered) friend who treated her this way, but several, according to the article. And that their own social status was the first thing they thought of upon seeing her immediately afterward in obvious physical and emotional distress. Unfathomable.[/quote]

Not to mention that these seven men behaved so monstrously, as a pack. How is that possible? I always thought it would take a sociopath to rape, beat and torture a woman, but that these seven young men did this together is chilling.[/quote]

Isn't it pack behavior?  When you have one street dog, it is benign but when several dogs run around together, they become much more aggressive. [/quote]

It is called mob mentality and it starts at a very young age.

Your son.. all by himself will not pick up a stone and throw it at somebody.
Your son... with 1 or 2 friends might be convinced to throw a stone at somebody if the others are doing it and getting away with it.
Add 1 crazy but influential friend and your son is with a group of boys that attack a smaller boy with stones and you are stunned that your son would do something like this.

Google mob mentality.
