I think we easily use the work madness when perhaps we mean inexplicable . But sadly it is explicable as you describe. As a psychiatrist I think I might also object to the word madness as being offensive to some of my patients. Of course we do often confuse badness and madness and there is such a concept as moral insanity which is perhaps the problem here so coming full circle the word madness is the right one!

That's not the word I would have used, and I don't think it's a word that does justice to the victim(s). It isn't madness, it's perfectly sane behaviour for a criminally sadistic, aggressive, racist, megalomaniac group of people. Let's not imply that this was done out of anything other than unrestrained malice. Madness? That’s not the word I would have used, and I don’t think it’s a word that does justice to the victim(s).
