Did I miss something here? I was not aware that there were any on the list
that kills for the fun of it?

I would be the first to agree that some of the responses were rather
intemperate, but it does seem to me that one can 'invite' such intemperance
by introducing an intemperate, inflammatory, prejudicial and judgemental
position in the first place: " What this guy does, and others like him, is
morally wrong and I intend to turn around this disturbing trend that murder
is okay as long as the perpetrator is having fun."
If I wanted to get people going lashing out that's exactly what I would
have written.
And the comment "So there (listen, can you hear the raspberry?)" represents
the same sort of childish behavior.
