These senseless things are no-win, and committed at the expense of children who have not had their chance at life. Completely tragic, and I'd have no problem pulling the switch on most of the perps.
And, having met some of these perps, they, too, are tragic, sad souls. No one gets to be that way without having had a great deal of abuse in their lives, starting when they, too, were helpless, defenseless children. And the perps in that case were people who should have been able to be trusted by the kids.
Having said that, often the only way to end the cycle of abuse is to end the lives of the abusers.
It is easy to forgive the forgiveable, to accept the acceptable, to love the loveable. We all do. That's not the challenge.
"I'm a Christian, but - - - ". Why claim to be a follower of Christ, then? He loved the unloveable, was able to split the deed from the person. Even when it wasn't easy.
