*** The doctors in the video probably count too. Horrible as Draiman may have been, assuming any of the intro was true, anyone who [[spoiler: waterboards someone in a sink, cuts up a defenseless man with a chainsaw, or force-feeds someone human eyeballs and flesh]] is most certainly beyond any kind of redemption themselves.

** Apparently this was parodied in [[RedBand Red Band’s]] ‘final performance’. The story behind the performance was that Red was sentenced to death, and his final request was a kick-ass final performance. The performance started with various ‘evidence’ from his ‘trial’, including the judge’s shock at the nature of Red’s acts, followed by Red’s therapist coming on stage and mentioning how Red had sexually harassed his own mother ''in utero'', [[BeyondTheImpossible performed incest with strangers]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking didn’t pay his therapist bills. (Red himself seems to show genuine affection to no-one, to the point he encourages his friend Poncho to jump to his death already for no other reason than ‘I haven’t got all day, I got shit to do’, the only exceptions being Marina Maximillian Blumin, with whom he falls in love, and his own son.)

* [[{{YMMV}} Though opinions differ,]] Murdoc of the {{Gorillaz}} definitely CrossesTheLineTwice and ''then some''. So far his track record includes theft, insurance fraud, possible murder, OrganTheft, extortion, and many, many counts of assault. Most of these crimes were aimed at 2D, the only person who'd tolerate him as long as he did, and on top of all that Murdoc still a misanthropic, [[UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness filthy]], perverted alcoholic.

* The Frameshift album "An Absence of Empathy" was created to explore the nature of violence, and features songs from various viewpoints. Nearly everyone is given some sympathy; The serial killer in "Just One More" is mentally ill and cannot stop himself, the impulse murderer in "I Killed You" was so remorseful that he killed himself afterward, the school shooter in "Outcast" was bullied his entire life. Even the possible rapist in "How Long Can I Resist?" is portrayed as simply longing for a connection with a woman, and desperately wants someone to stop him. The torturer in "This Is Gonna Hurt", however, is a CompleteMonster who delights in the pain of his victim, going so far as to describe their screams as music.
