> I don't care about their depression problems, a good ass whooping can fix that

While I agree that the behaviour you wrote about is reprehensible, please do not trivialize depression. Perhaps if their mental health issues were easier to treat, their impact on the society would be more positive, dont you think so?

I think his point is that these people aren't depressed; they're enabled sociopaths.

Of course, I definitely didn't seek to trivialize depression. Maybe the comment came across as too dismissive. I meant to apply in this particular context and not to the ailment as a whole.
