[tuakrvhd] Delhi gang rape

The Delhi gang rape incident seems weird.  Everyone, including the perpetrators, would have had a more enjoyable evening had the incident not occurred.  Why did they act that way?

It strikes me as similar to Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment with a private bus instead of a prison.  However, if this psychological similarity turns out to be true, then it could be used to absolve the perpetrators of blame, something repugnant to those who wish to condemn the perpetrators.
