<snip>Okay folks on the emotional side of this, if his "feelings are too much to bear" then seriously, honestly...why are there so many victims of these crimes? If feelings had EVER come into play these crimes would not have happened.
I think feelings did come into play pinkeye, but only HIS ... whether they be his hurt, his anger, his hatred, his etc etc.
Pondering your post, i thought about RW's marriage, the image of he and ME walking through the hood holding hands. How can someone hate women so much and be married to one? Then I remembered a psychopath I once knew whose spouse was told by a psychiatrist, "he probably loves you as much as he is capable of loving anyone other than himself". While they may not feel what others feel, they are usually intelligent, able to be quite charming, and they present normally in day-to-day life because they mirror what they believe to be the appropriate actions, behaviours, mannerisms based on their observations of others.
Not an expert here, but that's my basic understanding.
We are probably trying to understand something that even psychiatrists do not fully understand. I believe RW will turn out to be a very interesting study for profilers.
ETA: I go back to LE's curious question to Larry J ... whether he had been molested by his mother. I have to think that question was based on something that the perp may have said to his victim (might somehow explain the baby blanket souvenir) .. but IMO, this could simply be the "little boy" anger towards his mother and wanting to humiliate and dominate for whatever reason, not necessarily that he had been molested.
a lot of MOO
