It’s things like this that make me doubt I’ll ever be able to fulfill Jesus’ command to forgive and love. Not because I couldn’t force myself to do it, but because, Dear God, I don’t want to.
I make the same confession !

Best I can manage is a disconnect. That disconnect would still allow me to put a couple of pills in the back of the guy’s head. Carrying out the trash does not require anger towards garbage. It is just maintenance. Less than ideal, I know, but that is the best I could manage.
It’s tough, but then I look at my life....
OUCH!
God will met out Divine Justice on those who deserve it. Of that I have no doubt. If we all took a step back and looked at our own lives objectively, we’d see we were without a doubt worthy of the same punishment this vile scum deserves though.

Me, too.
Until the sinner repents and asks forgiveness you are under no obligation to do so.
