CHARDON, Ohio One of the three women held captive in a Cleveland home for about a decade told a crowd she has been able to forgive her kidnapper and find peace in her life.
Knight, who was kidnapped in August 2002 when she was 21, said she realizes now that Ariel Castro had a disease, and therapy has taught her that what he did hadn't been his fault, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported.

Absolutely sick !! I'm glad this poor woman is getting along better but this man didn't have a disease, he was pure Evil. It's like our world refused to believe evil exists, she might as well believe strep throat made this man do this. She even goes so far to say it wasn't his fault, what the @#$# !!!

If my dog got rabies I would not hesitate to take it outside and shoot it.
It doesn’t matter to me whether this guy was pure evil or diseased. In either case, the same treatment would be equally effective.

If it helps her to believe in Unicorn craziness it’s fine with me. She deserves any comfort that’s out there...

The left doesn’t like admitting that sin exists so they treat sin like a disease. If they admit there’s sin then they have to admit they also sin and they are deluded in believing mankind can attain perfection on earth. That will never happen and they can’t accept that, it would blow their dearly held beliefs to pieces. Everything they do, believe and espouse politically revolves around mankind evolving to perfection. Admitting to sin means all they believe is hogwash.

Sexual miswiring IS a disease. It causes people to have sexual desires for same sex, children, animals, violence, etc. They crave these things just as I crave to please beautiful women.
They DO need help but it doesn’t mean these people shouldn’t be restrained or put down if they actually harm someone.

I think she has been imprisoned all over again. By even more evil people.

Michelle Knight is the one who, when she was kidnapped, it was assumed she had run away. No one was even looking for her; they had to figure out who she was when the ladies got free. She has son who was adopted, assuming she abandoned him....the family didn't take in the child. Last I heard, she was not allowed contact with the child and he had no knowledge of who he is. (I sure hope that changed). She was physically and emotionally the one that seemed most damaged.
Thank god if she can find peace with her nightmare. She's a stronger person than I could ever be.

Correct, he didn’t have a “disease” that could be treated. He was a selfish person who put his sexual perversions ahead of the welfare of these women.

Psychiatry is a religion that does not believe in good or evil. Not all of them. M. Scott Peck, best known for "The Road Less Traveled", also wrote "People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil". I don't know if he had much success "healing" the evil, but he at least recognized it.

Even if he had a disease, he woke up every day for ten years knowing his behavior was wrong and facing a choice about what to do about it. He failed miserably.
