I have not down played the crime of this person, note the fact that I called the act an abomination and maniacal, did you over look this?
Though I personally *think* that we should not categorise this act as in the same league as serial rape/murder/debilitating extreme violence.
But hey, this is just me, I have a hate for the word justice and how it can be twisted to cause death on a whimsical/emtional basis.
In relation to this, a good friend of mine used to get beaten by his father in anger, very badly. After a while his father realised his wrong doing and separated himself from his family (in my opinion he should have handed himself over to the police). 6 years passed and my friend searched for his father to contact him and now they are inseparable(as far as father and can son go).
A scenario such as this is a rather uncommon occurance but I think you should always at least try to achieve a happy ending IF it is possible. Though I realise there can not always be a happy ending and things are not always black and white.
Endure. In enduring, grow strong.
