We all know a kid like Lorenzo - a little slower (usually a little sweeter, too) but they want to hang out with a crew. They usually stay safe because everyone knows they need some watching over.

For THAT kind of kid to be killed, feels extra wrong - like there is no balance in the universe. He likely got told he was standing up for Black folks like himself, and then got used for target practice by the people he trusted. For THAT kind of kid to be killed, makes the person that killed him - like a mindless, evil meatsack.

Criminals do bad stuff daily, but only the lowest of the low would go after a kid like that. Convicts have their own sense of justice and I look forward to hearing that they have brought balance to the universe once the chickenshit that shot Lorenzo is sent to jail.

This is what sociopathy looks like. This is what some of us mean when we talk about "lizard people."

Sociopaths operate emotionally from the more ancient, reptilian part of the brain.

We all have that reptilian part, but normal humans operate emotionally from the higher, mammalian part of the brain.

This is why sociopaths have little to no empathy for other living creatures, but normal humans do.

"Lizard people" is a reference to having the emotional range of a reptile. They are not lizards in the physical sense, but in the emotional sense.

That is what makes them so extremely destructive to everyone around them, whether they're your parent, spouse, boss, or leader.

You cannot change this no matter what you do, because emotionally they are reptiles - not mammals.
