..................I think that people who feel as you do should all be moved into the same community, & then have all these criminals, thiefs, rapists, serialkillers, etc. move right in with you guys, like as neighbors and roommates. Then let's put your concepts to the test. You can give them a hug & tell them you understand them & that they're not responsible.
Hmmmmm... I can sense a little hate here. Let me remind you, that hate is the emotion that these guys felt too when they raped/shot/stabbed someone. In other words > Hate is an emotion you can't remove from a human being. So, as long as there will be humans, there will be serialkillers, rapists, murderers, etc.
Um, dude, don't even presume to know what is going on inside these guys' heads. I don't.
Re: hate, you are correct in that we are inseparably entwined with our human-ness, but that doesn't excuse criminal acts (I'm sure that's not what you meant anyway). Yes, we are all flawed & capable of despicable acts. That's where volition comes in--we resolve to not act upon our impulses. We quell outrageous thoughts when they arise. We bite our tongue when we feel like ripping on someone. That's sort of where the "turn the other cheek" & "don't return evil for evil" is coming from.
& yes, I feel a bit like a hypocrite because I feel like I was ripping on you a bit, & I'm sorry if I came across that way.
