"What about the child molester who himself was molested as a child? By all means we must support him, because after all he was just trying to say to his victims 'Do you now understand how it feels?' Catalino Morales and the others described in this article are not real men. Not even close." So what you're saying basically is that instead of preventing the first problem, we should simply continue killing those it creates, i.e., the second problem.
Makes sense -- if you're a bounty hunter.
What I am saying--basically--is that the writer who tries to gin up sympathy for men who take children hostage so that they "now understand how it feels," is no different from the liberals who want us to "understand" that child molesters and terrorists do what they do because someone else has driven them to do it.
