Whenever we have a case like this, I have so many questions, but I also just feel terrible for all the innocent lives that have been shattered due to the acts of one person. I don't know if his parents, siblings, etc are still alive, but in many cases there are family still living, and coming to terms that someone you know, a family member, a sibling, a spouse, boyfriend, etc., is capable of such terrible actions has to affect them all. I can't imagine, and I honestly do pray that I never have to know. I don't know that I could mentally handle it at all. I think of my son, who enjoys target practicing with a gun, but refuses to hunt because he killed a deer once, because it's life was endangered. A metal wire was wrapped around the doe's front legs, around her girth, as she grew, that metal band would have caused some serious damage. He removed a possum from the basement that had entered through the cat door flap, but said it looked at him with pleading eyes, so he couldn't kill. He's over 6ft tall, and crumbled into my arms and balled like I've never seen him before just this past week when his cat died on the way the vet. Then to know that someone's son was capable of killing a child. I can't comprehend..I just can't!!!
Are they born evil? Lack of love at some point in their lives? I don't know. But I wish there was a way to detect them before innocent people are killed. So sad. So scary!
