When someone feels like they have exhausted their other options they resort to malicious violence. When two animals encouter a conflict with each other, and are of the same species, they are presented with a few options:
1. Flight 2. Posture 3. Fight 4. Submit and 5. Kill or maim. Flight is self-explanitory. Posturing includes displays of dominence and superiority in attempts to force the other party to submit. Initial fighting is always non-violent in the sense that neither party intends to kill or cause sginificant harm to the other party, and is a further attempt to induce submission. Submitting is often performed by exposing a weakness or sensitive area purposefully, essentially waving the white flag. Once all these options seem to have been exhausted or prohibited for some reason, our instinctive response is to harm and possibly kill the offending party.
Other factors that shape our liklihood to choose one response over another (I.E. killing without apparant thought) are distance physically from the target or the act of killing and prior psychological shaping, such as the mild brainwashing soldiers are subject to, or warfield propaganda.
