You probably didn't understand what I was saying. I would argue they're exhibiting violent behaviors because they perhaps enjoy it, they're bored, maybe they're angry. My whole point is there's a reason behind all violence, they're not randomly doing it, if they were they wouldn't be an intelligent form of life.
