All our history is checkered with disgusting crimes of
murder, torture, rapes, etc. That’s why some of the killers and criminals
responsible for these dreadful events became so famous with their illegal actions
that probably many real celebrities envied them for their notoriety.
On the other hand, a lot of other innocent men, women
and children, who experienced such crimes, couldn’t sleep well for week, years,
or until the end of their days because of these vile acts (if they survived the
worst criminals’ way to earn their living). Most of these victims would always
claim the disgusting people who caused them so much trouble and pain must endure
the most severe punishments. The poor sufferers would underline the guilty for
their inevitable situation deserve such a fate, no matter whether they repented
themselves of their previous sins or of what made them ruin many innocent citizens
and villagers’ future. Of course, after the horrible events from their past,
the innocent victims have every right to think that way (criminals like the
pedophile who a couple of years ago raped and after that killed a six year old
girl in Bulgaria deserve the nastiest, most extreme and merciless end). Yet, it
doesn’t mean many of the sentenced criminals couldn’t regret for their dreadful
crimes in the future. Of course, this shouldn’t be considered a good excuse for
the total remission of their sins and punishments. Though it should take its
place amongst the reasons why, if not all, then many (or most) of the horrible gangsters
and murderers could really change their frame of mind, behaviour, way of life,
etc for better…
“Deep down
even the most hardened criminal is starving for the same thing that motivates
the innocent baby: Love and acceptance.” This quote of Lily
Fairchilde made me become more wrapped in this subject and remember some
details about some of the horrible outlaws’ past and deeds. The same details
probably helped the one who said this sentence to realize the truth in such a
statement. Many of the sentenced or still free criminals have good families,
carrying wives, children who have the best education possible, their friends
enjoy many benefits such not-perfect but wealthy persons could offer, etc… I
guess people who have kind thoughts like these together with the enormous striving
for the so called “greatness” in the crimes’ world are capable of turning into
something like decent human beings? If the will is there on their part, of
course…
It’s a well-known fact that every
fact (scientific
or any other) and rule have their exceptions. So, there certainly are such
gangsters and all other types of criminals (including politicians) who wouldn’t
change their behaviour and way of life even for all the gold in the world. If
there is such an offer, I even bet some of them would gladly take the enormous
quantity of precious metal and would continue with their disgusting deeds, even
more than before (when Al Capone was killing people for example, he had such a
brain waves’ picture as the vicious predators in the animal world when they try
to “earn their living”… Probably only death could put an end to such a way of
thinking and life…).
The subject of the changes that the
worst criminals could go through is so vast that anyone could write a novel
about it I guess. But a blog post/note like this should just point out some
basic facts and details and leave enough space for comments? Which complete the
author’s thoughts and opinion?
