This sounds like the famous "Milgram" experiment. Deferrence to authority is a powerful and potentially dangerous force in many people's psyche. If this outweighs empathy and pity for the victim, offending can occur. See Garofalo's criminology.

hurting someone so you can obey authority? Sheer idiocy is the only psychological reasoning for hurting someone because you want to obey authority.

the Milgram experiment showed that over 60% of a sample of Americans demonstrated willingness to severely torture another person when given orders from an appropriate authority figure.
God would be the authority for suicide bombers to go to heaven, while killing others
or
like the president wants to up the torture methods so he can watch it on video.

Subconciously equating a person with a deeper underlying problem to make it seem more manageable. I don't understand the second part of the question though, sorry.

That man or woman is the two a real yet hollow or an fool.the quicker you practice them the door, the extra effective off you would be. My guess is that he's the two. you do no longer desire that. A lady chum pulled that crap on me with my superb chum. Then the dumb a** exchange into greatly surprised that she have been given dumped, and him to.

I like this question but you are not clear enough in what you mean, people like to "get one over" on other people who are "higher" than themselves. It makes them feel good. That is human nature

There is no good reason for hurting someone, only excuses.
