@ProPublica These are not human beings. They're devoid of any capacity to feel, not only empathy but the basic human feelings.

If this was a TV show portraiting demons, we would say they're gone too far.

There's only one answer to that, and I will definitely get banned if I write it.

"Violence only begets violence". Fuck that, sometimes the answer IS violence, and a extreme one of that, so the next assholes will think twice before behaving in that inhumane manner.
