Killing certain people by these indviduals isn't viewed as morally wrong. The limbic region
has suffered damage when they were children. It's been suggested that incoming signals
have become irrationally confused in the brain.
John Radley's childhood wasn't a particular nice one; dad gone, mom abusive,
bullied by neighborhood kids and his pets had a tendency to die on him.
Only his
first crush Gretchen ever treated him with
kindness. But this all ended when he was goaded into performing a balancing act, whereupon a
malicious prank backfired and Johnny ended up plunging down a dried up well to
greet a rock floor. Since then he has been in Oakhurst State mental hospital for
over a decade. Left semi-comatose, with only his now distorted memories and
nightmarish flashbacks for comfort.
One night the continual flood of harsh
images is too much for his psyche, and he comes to finding himself badly
disfigured and severely brain damaged (so much so that he can no longer feel any
pain), who will ever care for (let alone love) Johnny now? No one, he (in what's
left of his damaged mind) knows, which is why he suffers a complete psychotic
break, and after venting his fury on a nurse, turns his rage towards those who
left him this way. Bursting out of his temporary accommodation he storms off
into the night, dead set on disposing of his old childhood tormentors, whose
body parts he intends to offer up to the only person in his life who ever gave a
damn about him - a certain girl called Gretchen!
