He has a problem. He is not a criminal. He needs help and then slowly get his life back on track. If he did these things with a sound mind that would be one thing but he is messed up probably from his brother’s death.....just his brother’s death should give him huge compassion....nobody should have a brother die. Sorry but that is just cruel.
Do you know of a criminal who does not have a problem or who you would call fully sane? They nearly all have issues.
Sad his brother died, but people die all the time. In fact, we will all die. it does not give license for ill behavior.
The whole story is bizarre. He was a jerk probably before his brother’s death, he certainly was a jerk after (in fact he embarked on the same behavior path that killed his brother), we expose a jerk to extreme stress in the military and act surprised he is even jerkier.
No. Sorry. He is responsible. If he is not responsible and is a danger to others he should be institutionalized. No matter his problems or our compassion he isn’t free to endanger others.
Let me put it this way; does your trust and compassion extend to the point that you would let him care for your children?
