When I see a thread like this, my initial instinct is much like yours -- he deserves everything he has coming to him. Then I remember Gandalf's line: "Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends." There is a humility in not presuming to judge, and one with which I am at peace. Some decisions are mine to make; this one, gladly, is not.
