For 3 reasons...
1. Validation: It helps them certify that at least they are not as bad as them. Bad = evil, immoral, angry, etc.
2. It is gruesome: People get odd comfort when they see people harming others from a distance. It's not that they necessarily hope and wish for harm to happen, but it somehow makes them feel safer and secure to know it's not them in that situation.
3. Curiosity: People find it interesting to get into the mind of someone who flaunts conventional morality.
