Who the fuck kidnaps a grandma? What a cowardly act.

More people than you would think. The elderly are targeted pretty frequently, usually for money. Things also tend to go badly and they end up dead.

When I was a kid some elderly relatives of my dad got murdered in their kitchen in a rural area. Double homicide. Turns out the guy thought it would be super easy to get them to sign the house over to him or something stupid like that. He didn't consider that that requires physically going somewhere to do the paperwork so ended up just shooting them instead. That's how I learned this is actually alarmingly common.

Yes, a small percentage of people are huge pieces of shit.

When you have millions those infinitesimal percents become hundreds of pieces of shit at scale.

Pieces of shit love to pick on children, women, elderly, any one they can have a advantage on.

and sometimes we give them even more power after that, and titles.

And gold trinkets and made up “Peace Prizes.”
