Is what I’m thinking too. Just finished reading this article. He had a harsh childhood, so not surprised he is way he is. Now he’s going to be bombarded with death threats. This was stupid.
It is better that someone with this emotional/mental condition tell us what it is and how it tries to manifest itself in their minds.
This could be a very important step in not only trying to understand those with this condition, but also helping to defend against it, as well as to development medical treatments (if possible).
There are a shitload of mentally ill people in America, many of whom are delusional, sociopaths, psychopaths, sexually confused or predators (rapists, molesters, etc), as well as criminally mentally ill/insane.
Just look at a lot of politicians across the spectrum. Tell me Lindsay Graham, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Sheldon Whitehouse are sane, not to mention Mayor Moonbeam Jerry Brown.
We need to understand their conditions in order to treat them or to defend against them.
If you’ve ever talked to a communist defector and asked them how they became one and what caused them to reverse their perceptions and delusions, then you know what I mean. (I did this in Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as in Taiwan, including one of Mao’s bodyguards).
It is a fascinating look into a person’s mind as explained by them. You learn a lot about the human mind from those who reveal their innermost workings and the factors that caused them to act in a certain way.
I look at it from a different angle. Possibly he came out, so as to make absolutely sure he is not allowed to be alone with children. To put a target on his life, so as to away the freedom to act. He cannot do anything without being the very first suspect after his picture and story are so publicly available. I feel sorry for this guy, but if he were properly punished for any type of act like this, he should be worm food by now. That goes for all molesters, and rapists...IMHO of course.
Perhaps he feels the scrutiny will help keep him on the straight and narrow....
