If NT's are social butterflies, why do quite a few of them steal in the stores?
Why do people shoplift? Some do it for the thrill of breaking the law(usually when they're teens), some do it because they dont have the money to buy the things they need and want and so they go for the 5-finger discount.

Why does a minority of them rape and kill when they are as social as they are?
Where did you get the dumb idea that social people are somehow less violent and predatory than antisocial people???
Also, what makes you think that its a minority of them who are responsible for violent crime............Got any stats to back this up?

From tautology - antisocial, by definition, refers to behaviours similar to those of a psychopathic or violent individual.

Most people do that stupid crap for social reasons among others.
I remember being with a group of friends who were like that, always trying to impress each other with their stupidity by stealing cans of beer and items that weren't worth much.

I had a group of friends who were always trying to impress eachother by recycling found cans and bottles.

Not sure. They were studious, oddly athletic nerds-with-glasses who talked about cars and mopeds nearly every day.
One of them had an absolute aversion to certain foods, which might be a sign. He felt uneasy just knowing that there was cheese nearby.

Words have many meanings. What definition are you referring to? I assume, by social, you mean "advocating the success of human interaction in the structure of society as exists today, and furthermore, the success of that structure itself."--- in which case, violence and psychopathy are indeed examples of antisocial behavior in many cases.
But antisocial tendencies won't usually lead a person to such extremes, nor are they crimes committed only by those who are typically antisocial. Your topic is based on false presumtions
Also- the word "social," when used referring to autistics, has more to do with aptitude in social situations than general life philosophy or anything intentional.
