An Abu Ghraib Prisoner and I Agree
I was writing a little something called the Recipe for Abuse, which is: boredom, lack of supervision, and a sense of superiority. I came across this Washington Post article.

"Abdul Aziz Mohammed, who also was released, held out bruised hands and wrists with large, dark rings where he said he was handcuffed. "Look at my hands," he said. "They are full of the torture signs. Look at my arm. They beat me because they were bored, and they found me a good toy to play with."

Someone does something stupid and then each person tries to top the other. It's like being kids and jumping higher and higher off the cliff into the water filled quarry, except instead of the kids jumping, they are trying to impress each other by throwing someone else off.
