Dear Jeanne, with all due respect, and I really mean that....... I have gone beyond understanding why. To me, it is clear. He is - and has been for years, in development, a narcissistic, psychopathic human being, devoid of emotion, abused, neglected, lost. Much of it reinforced by his choice of "carreer"... prostitution isn't kind to anyone. For years he tried to make himself into SOMETHING. He failed. And utterly broke his ties to humanity. Kittens killed (what we know of)... and then Jun Lin. (still..... what we know of yet).
I am afraid he is lost. If I were a professional psychiatrist with him in my care.... I would think, a good 15-20 years of treatment. Just to see how things went. Then a tentative assessment. But as things are, from the start, I am afraid progress would be hard to recognize. LRM is a very, very sick individual. One I would not, as a professional, ever, release into the public. So... in my case.... it would be speculative only. Whether he would be freed or not. Since he wouldn't.
My opinion. I value yours.
I hear you, Dane, I really do. I think the thing that bothers me is that Luka was yet one more societal throw-away kid, one who clearly was at risk and yet one more who fell through the cracks. Our prisons are full of throw-aways. I come from a background that was similar, was adopted out, and then suffered other abuses that I don't care to go into here. Lets just say the saying, 'there, but for the grace of God, go I', rings in my ears when I encounter beings such as Luka. I was fortunate enough to get the help I needed early, he was not. And because our society values things like sports events like the F1 and olympic games far more than human life, kids like Luka are over-looked and young men like Jun Lin ultimately pay the price. LE had an opportunity to see that Luka got the help he needed back when he was arrested for fraud and they let him slip through their fingers, and I think if we were inclined to investigate that part of his life, we will find that an over-burdened and vastly under-funded social service agency never followed up.
