neither of them were previously violent or ever subsequently disposed to violence (and the sniper was hideously traumatized, psychologically. Woke up screaming frequently, would run down the street to his mother in the middle of the night)

There are other stories like this--Paul Fussell talks about his experiences in the war and it sounds like people were extremely willing to be excessively violent en masse.
