Dave Merritt, what a man, a beacon of hope. What a better place the world would be if we all took a leaf out of his book. To be so level headed and decent in the horrible situation he’s in deserves the utmost respect and praise.Quote:

If we took a leaf out of his book we'd all be dead. Criminals prey on weakness and forgiveness. They have no sympathy for anyone but themselves. Forget the Bishop's candlesticks. That only works in fiction. Criminals only respect punishment.Quote:

This terrorist clearly knew the goodness in Jack Merritt, he was a lad who went the extra mile for forgiveness and did it voluntarily , for me that makes the terrorist pure evil and beyond help or worthy of it , same goes for 7/7 , London Bridge , Manchester Arena killings and attrociries in France who didnt even go to war in Iraq .
But you also think that criminals are born bad.Quote:

Most criminals are born without a conscience so they will prey on you if they can but, like wild animals, they will weigh up the risk of doing so. The likelihood of punishment plays the role conscience does in normal people.Quote:

You are only 50% correct a wolf would rather be as far away from a human as possible.Quote:
