You can describe them as mentally ill, I guess, but what's really wrong with them is not the kind of mental illness we should feel we need to help or have sympathy for. We are under no obligation to "help" these fucking monsters. Almost none of them would ever accept it, or be improved by the attempt. They are broken, and most of them will stay that way till they die.
