i just feel sorry for the people he hurt while he was here, especially for the little girl.

(NukeDad) Agreed. The police officer also.

I feel no empathy for this man. Did he feel any compassion towards the little girl he assaulted? As you, I can think of nothing worse in the world than sexually assaulting a minor.. He got what he deserved.

(NukeDad) Agreed.

This is one of those terribly difficult situations where I know I should feel for the man and try to understand the reasons behind his actions. But after its all said and done, I just don’t. I don’t mean to seem insensitive…I know he was a friend of yours. But from what you have described, it sounds like, had this not happened, he may have gone farther and farther down that dark path, causing more and more people agony and pain. I DO feel for those like you around him and the cop, who have to deal with the emotions associated with his death but, in my experience, a person like this would have met an early demise at some point regardless of the situation. Destiny, so to speak. I’m sorry you had to go through all that.

(NukeDad) I agree; he chose his path, the consequences of his actions are all on him. While we were neighbors, we were never “best friends”. I could see him possibly doing bad things in his life, but I would have never thought he was capable of this.

You really can’t know the demons that live in some people by their outward appearance, or how quickly and silently they can do their ultimate destructive work. Just horrible. I know you’ll probably have that punched in the gut feeling for a while, I’ve been there.

(NukeDad) It’s the element of trust and the mis-judgement of character that make me most concerned. Both of them seemed like “normal” people. How can you ever tell?

I’m sorry for this man and whatever demons led him to this desperate act. But I hurt for the police officer and the child he violated.
An elder in my church (when I was a kid) was finally arrested and convicted of molesting a child. I always knew he was a creep, but no one believed me (he never hurt me.) He eventually spent close to 20 years in prison. I still can’t wrap my mind around how anyone can hurt a child like that.

(NukeDad) Those in an authority postion will pay a higher cost in the hereafter; at least, I think so.

I just happend to stumble on to your site so I decided to visit for a while. I read your tribute to your Dad. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.

I know a few people that have exited this world by a few creative means, none the way your friend did.

(NukeDad) He did what he needed to do. I’m sure he got everything he deserved in prison. Child molesters are the bottom of the barrel in prison.

I can honestly say I’d have reloaded, and emptied into him again.

Horrible.

(NukeDad) He has nothing to worry about anymore. The child and the officer will be haunted the rest of their lives. That’s what bothers me the most.

Wow, that’s powerful stuff. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you or for anybody who was close to someone “back in the day” and then find out that they have turned into this “other person”, capable of such horrible things.

(NukeDad) It’s not that we were that “close”, I wasn’t BFF with either one of them. Jim was the type of friend that you tolerated.

I too can only say I’m sorry. Well that and I am curious to see the post about opening night at “Tuna’s”

(NukeDad) There’s not much else to say, unfortunately. Yeah, the opening night post would be good, I’ll have to work on that.

Over the years, several friends of mine committed suicide. Not this way. But, suicide is violence, and those who commit it are trying desperately to hurt those around them. I’m not so sympathetic unfortunately to those who choose this. In fact, the last friend I hunted down for four days and when I found him we had to pump his stomach. I was so angry.

The two things a counselor will ask those in desperation is (1) Are you suicidal, the next is (2) Are you homicidal. Sui or homi, it’s all the same to me.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sorry for their choices. I’m sorry for the pain it causes those who love them. I think it is best I don’t judge. God will have the last say in these matters.

But, these are very perplexing events aren’t they? All I can do is protect innocent children from harm even if it means giving my own life to do it. The friend becomes the monster.

Matthew 18:6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

(NukeDad) Very well said, Ron. I’ve nothing to add.
