A slaughter It is a type of murder that consists of killing several individuals at the same time and indiscriminately, and that is characterized especially by the fact that the victims appear defenseless in the face of the attack to which they are the object, that is, they do not have the possibility of defending themselves.
Cruel and violent homicide of several people while unable to defend themselves, and carried out indiscriminately
Generally, this type of assassination is perpetrated by a person or a group that has a large amount of weapons that make it easier for them to attack several targets at the same time.
So, the main characteristic that this murder displays is the unequal conditions that exist between attacker and victim, being as we indicated the latter in lower conditions always.
And the other distinguishing feature is that they usually have a huge load of treachery, cruelty and violence.
It should be noted that this extermination of people exists since man is man.
Throughout history, human beings have starred on one side and the other in massacres.
School bullying and family violence, the most common cases that trigger massacres
Of course, there are a multiplicity of factors that can cause a massacre, while, in recent decades, we have been spectators of tremendous massacres triggered by what we popularly know as bullying (in its name in English) or Castilianized as bullying.
Especially in the USA, a country that undoubtedly leads the way in this regard, have been reiterated and highly promoted the massacres carried out by school and university students who, subjected to pressure not to belong, or to be excluded from the system for any reason, decided to indiscriminately murder their classmates and teachers.
One of the most sadly famous cases in this regard has been that of the Columbine School Massacre, in the state of Colorado, in the United States precisely, in which two students of the institution, fed up with the practical jokes and the ridicules given by their companions, decided to get hold of an arsenal of weapons and kill every individual who was put in front of them at the indicated school.
School bullying is today a widespread problem around the world, fortunately, it is talked about more than in the past and that allows parents and educators to be more attentive to detect cases and treat them, however, as it is such a complex problem and that involves so many factors, it is difficult to reach a solution.
Another context in which this type of massive and hyper-violent annihilation is common is in the domestic environments, in which many times a spouse as a result of a deception, or by receiving constant abuse from his immediate family environment, decides to exterminate them untimely and jointly, that is, for example, a father who murders all his children and his wife.
Unfortunately, all over the world and in any social class we find cases like the one just described, and even more, this family or domestic violence has increased over time as has the level of violence.
The consequences are dire and tremendous, children who are left without their parents at the same time, because the mother is murdered and the father who killed her is imprisoned, completely disintegrating the family.
The violence of men towards women has been growing remarkably, and it is precisely the home that is the scene of conflicts and where this massacre ends up taking place, which mostly includes murders of the spouse, but also in those violent madness abductions, many parents murder their children. children or the children of their partner, as a clear symbol of revenge, and other family members who want to intervene.
Generally, jealousy, or a relationship that ends, is the trigger for these massacres within the family.
Men sick with jealousy who see in everyone and everything a threat against their marital stability, or a woman who decides to put an end to a relationship, while the man resists, and it is precisely in this pulling and arguments where many men they make the drastic decision to kill their partner and those who intrude in the way, including their own children.
Of course, all this that we mention speaks of a severe basic psychic pathology, which probably was not treated, and which led to an extremely violent act such as killing more than one person.
Although the laws around the world severely punish these acts, even governments allocate many resources to promote policies against domestic violence, it is a reality that still needs to be done to stop it, because justice is often lax in the face of acts of violence. Minor family violence that later ends in shocking massacres.
