    Yep. The kind of humanoid that would choose to do this has some sort of fundamental fault. Unit is defective, recall to warehouse, keep in observation to further refine diagnostic models. Or just return to manufacturer.

      Yeah this kind of rhetoric doesn’t sound at all like a deranged psychopath who believes in exterminating the “other”…

        The “other” in this case being the predator who deliberately and maliciously inserted his knife blade into a human body for the express purpose of destroying that human.

        It’s not psychopathic behavior to decide that such a person constitutes a threat, and should be separated from society by any necessary means available.
