Man Gets Prison For Blowing Up Cat
Animal Killed In South Sacramento

POSTED: 2:40 pm PDT October 9, 2009
UPDATED: 3:01 pm PDT October 9, 2009


SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A Sacramento man has been sentenced to 16 months in state prison for blowing up a cat in south Sacramento.

David Hui-Biao Yang pleaded guilty to a felony charge of torturing and killing an animal, District Attorney Jan Scully said Friday.

Prosecutors said Yang bound the legs of a live cat, placed it under a traffic cone and inserted an ignited explosive device into the cone.

Yang was then seen laughing as he observed the mangled remains of the animal, prosecutors said.

44. Did I say Rape or Assault? Hmm? Did I??? No, I didn't.
It could just be that the animal lover is able to communicate the message that this person needs to hear.

Better than being locked up with a fellow animal hater, I would think.

31. In some cases
it looks that way.

Dr. Essi Viding of the London Kings College Institute of Psychiatry and colleagues have found the tendency toward psychopathic behavior has a strong genetic component.

It would explain the Bush Crime Family and the psychopathetic tendencies.
Bush Jr. used to blow up frogs.

54. Nature? Nurture? Who cares?
Either way, this cretin would be a significant factor in the development of any offspring that he had.

Part of me goes with the nurture. I spent years working with children whose sense of right and wrong were twisted by parents like this scum.

Part of me goes with the idea that there has to be something mutant about the make up of a person who could do this.

This is about more than criminality. This act goes beyond criminal behavior. This man is deviant. He lacks the basic decency that we need for a functioning society. If I favored the death penalty, I would just have he and his twisted mind eliminated from our society. Failing that, we should at least make sure that he doesn't pass on whatever caused his defect through genetics or example.

Hope if there are any cats near this prison, other prisoners keep them safe from this miserable fuck.

California has a lot of problems, but at least animal cruelty is often treated as the crime it is.

33. There is NO PLACE in civilized society for PSYCHOPATHS like this. They are a danger to others
and need to be locked up permenantly.

Sorry but they are unrehabitable. When he's out he'll be back at it - only next time it might be an innocent human being instead of a poor innocent animal.

WHAT THE HELL is going on in this sick society of ours that we breed human trash like this?

In this case, what you call mentally ill, I call evil.

Obviously his lawyer didn't think a jury would buy that he was mentally ill since he copped a plea.

be allowed to roam free. You're SO worried about this psychopath. Have you given a THOUGHT to what he did to that innocent animal?

Or does the cat's life rate zero while the psychopath's is somehow worth more? If so, THAT is an interesting attitude on your part.

NOT TO MENTION that it's HIGHLY likely that what he did to that animal, he'll likely be doing to HUMANS, next. It usually, if not always, turns out that way.

63. I am mentally ill
I have complex PSTD..depression and dissociation and I do consider psychopaths trash and say it out loud I hate psychopaths.
Psychopathy is not a mental illness.It is a toxic personality issue and it does not respond to treatments of any kind . Mental illness and psychiatric injuries like PSTD, or DID etc. DO respond to mental help treatments.

Why do I disdain psychopaths because contact with psychopaths during childhood and adulthood injured my mind. And because I don't want mentally ill people continually lumped in with psychopaths,Because mentally ill people still have a conscience.Psychopaths never had one.

65. Psychopathy is a mental disorder. It is a mental illness...
It comes in many forms and severities.

Having a mental illness does not somehow qualify you to call psychopaths trash. It doesn't.


"Because mentally ill people still have a conscience.Psychopaths never had one."

They have an alternative view of reality. They do not have the same constructs of what is right and wrong. And their illness is almost certainly not their fault just like your illness is not your fault and my illness is not my fault.

No one asks to suffer from psychopathy, PTSD, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, etc...

These illnesses are a result of forces beyond the control of the subject.


"I do consider psychopaths trash and say it out loud I hate psychopaths."

Your bigotry is duly noted.

59. psychopathy is NOT a mental illness
Edited on Sat Oct-10-09 10:27 PM by undergroundpanther
In a legal sense.It is a personality problem,yes.Psychopaths know what they do is wrong and do it anyway they don't care.They make everyone around them mentally ill however and delight in doing so.
Psychopathy cannot be helped or cured with drugs or therapy or anything else .Therefore it is not a mental illness like schizophrenia or a psychological injury like PSTD.It does not get better with treatment.

66. ...
"Psychopathy cannot be helped or cured with drugs or therapy or anything else .Therefore it is not a mental illness like schizophrenia or a psychological injury like PSTD.It does not get better with treatment."

There is no requirement that a disorder be able to be treatable in order for it to be considered a mental illness. There are plenty of different types of mental illnesses that are incurable or untreatable.

You are right, it is not like schizophrenia or PTSD. But that doesn't mean that it isn't a mental illness.


"In a legal sense."

Fortunately, medical conditions are not defined under law. They are defined under medicine. And disorders like ASPD are most certainly defined as mental illnesses.
