MORGAN: Childhood frustrations led to what they call hobbies. You tortured stray animals, beat up homeless people, mugged pedestrians. You set fire to things. You brawled with kids all the time.

GREEN: Yeah.

MORGAN: What was going on in this mad world that you were then occupying?

GREEN: Well, I will correct one of those statements. This torturing animals thing was just this one occasion, not to say that it is ever right, but it is not even a funny story.

Sounds like he's properly regretting it to me. It doesn't make it okay but at least he's seen the error of his ways. Can't the leopard change it's shorts?

He beat up homeless people and mugged pedestrians but let's focus on torturing stray animals instead.

So you think beating a person up is worse than torturing a cat?

Yes

da but yes very much so

YES!

DA - they're both bad, but if one was one occasion and the other was a regular thing, I'd be more distressed by the one that seems to be a behavioral pattern over the one that seems to be a one-off "kids do some fucked up shit sometimes" incident.

No. I think they're both awful but torturing animals is psychologically more messed up than beating up an adult.

All you people who are answering yes to this, you actually think beating up an adult, maybe giving some bruises, is worse than torturing a small animal, who is basically defenseless like a baby?

If so, you're a dumbass and one of the reasons why I prefer animals in the first place over people like you.

Both are horrible but I care more about human beings than I do animals, not that I think people should ever harm animals. Put it this way, if I had to choose between saving a person from harm, or saving an animal, I would save the person.

Also I'm pretty sure cats probably feel that same way, not that we could ever really know

Torturing a cat is definitely worse than beating someone up, I'm sorry. It takes a different - worse - kind of person to torture an animal than brawl with someone.

Think very carefully about the difference between those two words. Think about the motives associated with them. Are you seriously telling me you consider blind rage or violence worse than knowingly, willingly, and deliberately causing excruciating pain to a living thing?

Wow, I worry about all the people in this thread thinking that beating up a person is worse than torturing a helpless animal. Y'know there's a reason why psychologists view animal torture and killing as such a red flag psychological warning sign (because many serial killers started that way) but don't view beating someone up in the same light. Remind me never to let the people on here who think that animal torture is something minor near my pets!

I have to agree with

badass_tiger. Sounds like it was a stupid and horrible thing he did as a kid and now he's changed.

I also think it's funny* how he beat up homeless people, mugged people, and set things on fire but the only thing the OP is upset about is torturing animals.

*Not "Ha-ha" funny. Weird funny.

Because beating an adult up isn't the same as torturing a small animal.

You don't know if it was an adult he beat up. You don't know how badly he beat that person up. You don't know how badly he tortured those animals or even what those animals were. You don't know if what he set on fire was someone else's home or not.

There's a lot of assumptions here.

Can we just agree that all of it is shitty and drop this? I don't want to argue with anyone here.

A repeated pattern or behaviour is worse than a one off.

I think there's a difference between beating up an adult and beating up a homeless person (adult or not). Homeless people suffer disproportionately from mental issues, malnutrition, assorted diseases, and probably a fear of cops/authority figures that make them even less able to defend themselves than a random adult.

Even if it was a mentally/bodily abled homeless person without a fear of reporting the incident to the authorities you're still targeting someone obviously disadvantaged and kicking them (no pun intended) when they're down. That just sits even worse with me than some dude picking a fight with another dude.

there's this weird defense mechanism people have where they assume victims of crime deserve it so that we don't have to acknowledge that the problem of unprovoked/undeserved mugging and assault exist. but that doesn't extend to animals, also part of a human superiority that assumes animals can't make choices or be naturally inclined toward violence. thus they are seen to be as innocent as small children. that's why we have Kick/Pet The Dog tropes. people consider a person's treatment of animals to be a somehow more significant and reliable way to judge them than their treatment of people. so mistreating even one animal, regardless of mental or emotional state, is enough to turn the world against you, even though you'd expect that evolution would generally turn our focus to the human victims...

..well you learn something new every day...

I like how he's also beat up homeless people and mugged pedestrians and set fires and none of that gets a mention in the secret. Oh.

...Wow. That's awful. It's good that he seems to have learned his lesson, but...damn.
