How many times do you see neighbours giving interviews after some murder/crime and say about the murderer...”you would never have thought him/her capable of such a deed....he/she seemed so nice”.
Goes back to what I said earlier....we’ve all got it in us if the circumstances are there.
Further to that, what can make us possible of these sort of things.....upbringing ? And if that’s the case should we not feel sorrow and pity for people who commit crimes like that.
For example, Rose West was abused in the most heinous way by her family as a child, both physically and sexually...but does that give some understanding, and in some way some reasoning behind the crimes she did. Would be hard to feel sorry for her, however it’s difficult to feel that giving a decent upbringing, things might not of happened like they did.....or would it ?
this. I guess this is the right winger in me. I would understand some people have bad upbringings and this will shape what a person becomes and it is a tragedy. At the same time, even though i know it's not all of their fault that a person can create a heinous crime, that still doesn't negate the fact that they did and are a dangerous and troubled person and need to be incarcerated for the greater good of society.
