You read something like this and you wonder if there really are people
who just don't deserve any second chances. I buy into a significant
part of the
current thinking that prisons should rehabilitate and not just punish,
and that we should help a person redeem himself when possible. After all, maybe
they were abused as a child, or
racially discriminated, or just got unlucky when choosing their
parents. But when you read what some men are capable of, you wonder.
