The wailing and gnashing of teeth generally comes from those who were priveledged enough to not have to grow up in a place where they were threatened by guys like this. They have no perspective. They honestly believe, in their heart of hearts, that some one like this can change and become a good person. They honestly believe that the only wrong he ever did was probably the wrong for which he was punished. They are simply unable to come to grips with the fact that there are bad people, doing bad things their whole lives, who will prey on the very folks chanting and holding their candles for these bad people. They honestly believe it's as simple as "everyone makes mistakes", and should be given another chance. They are astonished, at times, when these bad people use that second chance to victimize yet another. They don't understand these people, and never will. Good thing Texas does.
