Yeah, the thought did occur to me. Which would absolutely be fair enough.

it's actually a physically malfunctioning part of the brain. unlike emotional conditions which are more common and much less predictable
Also psychopaths are usually detected early because they are often sub normal intelligence and have practically no impulse control.
also it's incredibly rare.

What kind of anti-social **** goes out to buy a sofa with a dagger in their pocket?!
Maybe we're talking about different areas of psychopathy?
I think you might be right. It will be interesting though to see if this guy turns out to be a Muslim. They do seem to like to cut peoples heads off.

Psychopathy IS a mental illness / disorder
Defined under U.K Law : Mental Health Act 1983
No it isn't.
Any psychiatrist who tried to argue such within a Mental Health Tribunal would have a very short career.
I think it's more you don't understand what psychopathy actually is.
And your mixing it in with all sorts of emotional problems, psychotic problems and many other conditions.
Psychopathy is an incredibly rare condition.
People keep mentioning psychopathy. In things like this in the rare instance it was a mental issue it is more likely it's a temporary psychotic episode which can happen to any sane person with no prior issues.
They can range though all sorts of types and triggers and symptoms.
Ie a psychotic fit of rage when a person finds thier partner cheating and they may attack them
A depressive psychotic state with delusions of paranoia or low self worth can result in self harm or suicide.
A psychotic episode could as be manic with a extreme euphoria hallucinations voices etc and mix and match between them too.

I'm not, I understand what psychopathy is. I haven't mixed it in with any emotional problems at all. Are you under the impression that I think psychopath = crazed killer or something?
When I am talking about psychopathy with regards to the way cartels act, it's with regards to the lack of remorse for what they've done, or the lack of empathy that I would expect "allows" them to do such things.
They would be psychopathic tendencies.

You're implying it to be a wide spread condition in cases such as the cartels and other things like this.
Usualy psychopathic people are much more child like in thier reasons for killing.
Think of a child pulling wings of insects or squashing them, they're young and insects are so disconnected from creatures like animals and humans they don't see a problem with it. Psychopaths tend to have that same attitude towards humans they don't understand the difference or why it's wrong.
Most criminals however are perfectly rational if sometimes emotional unbalanced. Gang killings especially they're done though rational logic or anger.
Same as most brutal murders anger/passion is usualy thecause.
Psychopaths ate fare to rare to be a significant proportion
Actually, most people with schizophrenia are harmless. It's a common stigma that schizophrenics have to live with. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia back in the 90's. I've spent time in a number of psychiatric wards over the years. I'm stable now because I'm on the appropriate medication. I'm no danger to anyone and neither are almost all schizophrenics.
Actually paranoid schizophrenics are more likely to harm themselves than they are others. It's only when they harm others that it becomes blown up by the news and the myth perpetuated.
