Spoiled Self Entitled People !!!
The son Dana in this tragic tale wasn't "born evil" as some have suggested. The way that Dana turned out can easily be explained by his affluent upbringing.
I graduated from Univ of San Francisco in 1973. It's a Catholic Univ much like its Catholic counterpart down the peninsula, the Univ of Santa Clara, where Dana attended some 20 years later. I met MANY children of Rich Families while at USF, and most of them were quite like Dana. They were all spoiled self entitled kids who were all brought up to believe that they deserved even a better life than Fate had so generously dealt them. They lacked any gratitude and humility whatsoever. In fact, a poor kid at USF I supplemented my income by writing term papers for those Rich Kids, those Rich Kids who thought that they were even above doing any real work to earn their college degree.
I completely blame Dana's parents, the ones he murdered, for the "evil" way that he turned out. They saw their Golden Sonny Boy as a kid who could do no wrong. "What ? Not my son ! He could NEVER Do something like that !"
What Dana lacked were parents who kicked his butt on a regular basis, and put his nose to the grindstone sweeping the floor and cleaning the toilets at the Family Business that gave him such a wonderful affluent life. Whatever they tried to do for their son, the one thing they never did was to instill an attitude of Gratitude within him. They somehow failed to teach Dana that true happiness comes from being Grateful to God for what you already got, rather than futilely searching for happiness by acquiring more and more and more money and materials possessions.
