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.
