I can see this happening with a charismatic kid and a follower or two eager to maintain their relationship with him. Yet another reason to be familiar with your kids’ friends, I suppose.

That’s the key. Being Charismatic. Someone uses their charismatic personality when it comes to a crime that’s comitted by more than one person. They’re able to lure them in with the personality and then go in for the “kill.” No pun intended. All you need is someone who is missing something, and you can “offer” it. Once you have them eating out of your palm and you’ve been able to given them what they’re missing somewhere else, they have no other logically sense or reasoning to “follow” because you’ve given them what they’re missing. Does this make sense?

i think you see that quite alot in cases like this - personalities that on their own would be harmless, but in combination with other personalities it escalates to violence or murder (for example to two ppl that killed the Petit family)
very sad

groups are already formed at an early age and the dominant person decides what’s right and wrong. nothing new there i guess.
of course when it comes to killing, it’s a whole new ballgame. being mischievous is only normal, taking another person’s life obviously is not.
