You absolute clueless morons who make this evil prick the victim have obviously not seen the picture or read the text describing the poor young girl's face he blew off in a robbery.

I don't know of anyone who's making Williams out to be "the victim". That's your "straw man" (gratuitous insults noted as well). No one is suggesting that he not be punished for the crimes he did commit, and no one is saying that the victims didn't suffer a cruelm horrific, and undeserved fate. What I don't understand is how killing him makes this a better world. Harldy a Christian sentiment (something I find curious in a country that is nominally majority Christian). I don't know if Williams is truly "redeemed" (and that is a matter for reasonable people to disagree on(, but a world without redemption is truly a heartless world.

Cheers,
