[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also feel sadness for Dzhokhar.  I also felt sadness for Lee Boyd Malvo, Dylan Klebold, Sam Manzie (http://www.nytimes.com/1999/08/08/nyregion/eddie-was-murdered-sam-s-doing-70-years-but-who-is-to-blame.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm), Seung-Hui Cho, and even Jeffrey Dahmer, who, as a child, had selective mutism and collected road kill and kept the bones of the dead animals displayed on poles in his backyard.  There could not have been more obvious signs of a problem, and no one helped.

It saddens me that in so many of these tragic cases there were signs that people ignored and that help wasn't available for the mentally unstable who eventually became murderers.  But sometimes even when family and friends try to get help for their loved ones, nothing is done (Sam Manzie being the best example of this I can think of in recent history).

It's not to say that I can't understand the outrage that some feel when hearing people express sympathy for the perpetrators.  It just that I feel it is somewhat necessary to feel sadness for them, because the ability to realize that we may not know the whole picture, and that we are so very fortunate that it wasn't our son or nephew doing the killing - that perspective is what keeps us human and it's what will hopefully help us spot the next one before it's too late.[/quote]

You are sad. So, so, sad. All of this saddens you. Well guess what? It makes me so &*(()(*&  angry that I would be happy to execute the death penalty on them myself.  And I am not "so very fortunate" that it was not my son or nephew who did the killing. You see, it would never be my son or nephew, because people in my family are not raised by mothers who steal merchandise from department stores, fathers who abandon the family and people who think it's cool and OK to be on public assistance for years.[/quote]
