I think it's all been said already. We 'breed' these people then readily condemn them. Sure some of 'them' just happen to turn out that way, but that's the scant minority. I long for a reasonable middle ground in these situations, somewhere between bleeding heart liberalism, and the "hang him high" brigade. Wherever that is, it needs to start with compassion. As has been pointed out, the fact that he is horrified is the glimmer of hope that he can be helped. I wish him all the best.
