SUPPRESSIVE PERSON OR GROUP
One or a group of others who actively seeks to suppress or damage others by suppressive anti-social acts. Usually there is only one REAL suppressive in a group of others but there can be more than one on occasion, as true suppressive personalities only make up roughly two and a half percent of the population, though this is rare. Generally, the others around a TRUE suppressive personality are only potential trouble sources (at the effect of) to that suppressive, they are not suppressive (as of yet) themselves, on most occasions.
