Yes. Any malicious action that goes without benefit is evil. I guess the subjective part, is to what degree of evil it is.

You punch a guy for lulz—that's evil.
You punch a guy to protect yourself—that's necessary.

Just because people sometimes choose to ignore their actions, or perceive them as pure or innocent, does not change the fact that what they've done is evil (man that word's being overused).

You think Manson, BTK, or any other serial killer feels a bit of remorse for what they've done. Of course not! They were not developed normally, so in they're minds they're exempt from punishment and guilt, when really they're only free from rational behavior.

Some serial killers will even admit that they have committed evil acts, but I doubt they care a single bit.
