Steve calls them “wiindigo.” One Yupik Inuit tribe has a different name for such folks: “kunlangeta.” And completely congruent with Steve’s observations, when asked what a tribe would do about a “kunglangeta,” the answer was, “Somebody would have pushed him off the ice when nobody else was looking.” We pale-face also have a name that sometimes fits: “Psychopath” — or, a little milder, “sociopath.”

Having lived in a small town half my life, I really understand this. There are people that at least 99% of the community pretty much considered scum and wouldn't cry if they fell off a balcony when nobody was looking. That such was not done explains a lot; practically all of such filth sought (and obtained) positions of power which they abused to the fullest extent.
