That's it you know. I think when someone is seen as the underdog, someone who's been victimized and on the bottom of the world's shoe their entire life who lashed out and did something heinous, well let's forgive them.
But what about overfed, racist pompous political figures? Not so easy to forgive, or understand, but that ideal would have to apply to them too.
If someone had decided to apply a little retributive justice to Idi Amin, or slave traders or those responsible for the Pent State killings, you wouldn't see me crying about it, and yet.. in accordance with that ideal, it's no different.
