I've seen a lot of real assholes with friends. I don't know how dependable those friends might be, they they were always around, supporting the assholes in their acts of stupidity and violence. One thing sociopathic assholes never seen to lack is other idiots to watch them commit crimes and cheer them on. In fact, you hardly ever see these assholes alone. I think they are afraid to be alone. They need the support of their cheering section.
