unrepentant sociopaths

This is a CNN user posting in response to outrage by other users over some very insensitive comments about a story:

“Try to understand, the majority of anonymous comments on the internet are made by unrepentant sociopaths, many of them teenagers fueled by their own hormones and insecurity. It’s an outlet for them to say pretty much anything they want to say anonymously, with no ramifications or accountability. Also keep in mind that nearly all of them will never look at this article, or the comments made after they have, ever again. So preaching at them doesn’t do a whole lot.”
