Looking at him anybody would swear he's straight and devoted to his wife, the kids would also love sitting on his lap and ask for xmas gifts while he poses as Santa... But the other half of the flick, having a more dark photography and dizzy pace, would show him as a ruthless predator, preying on refugees, drug users and married men on the closet, all creepily dependent of him, both materially and affectively... I watched Apocalypse Now, recently, and this duality reminds me of this quote about the two parts cohabiting within the same man, with the one who kills and the one who loves...

Everybody noticed near instantly when something wrong happened and then were able to efficiently help. That's why I always roll eyes when uneducated idiots throw -phobe or -ist around.

People aren't mature enough at 18 to leave home and be expected to be devoted to their well-being; they aren't really even mature enough until their mid-late 20's.. We rush people into college or the military at young immatuere ages because they are more pliant, more malleable, easily manipulated... still quite easy to being persuaded into believint that accumulation of material wealth is the only true evidence of success... We're doing socialization, the stuff we ARE aware of and can change systems and relationshiops to accommodate, all wrong. There are several solutions, easily implemented solutions to pressing urgent issues that ultimately affect us all, like just how skrewed up the whol system of "education" is esp in the U.S. of A.

After he was arrested, I walked into the local convenience store and the cashier was in near tears with a few other men, talking about how “it’s finally over”. Rough time at Church and Wellesley.

Sounds just like my neighborhood in the good Ole USA. Lots of meth houses, lots of people dying(even though they are mostly older folks dying still suspicious), lots of human trafficking going on. I report things to police and nothing happens. Meth heads run around the neighborhood all night long. A lot of them are the neighbors on meth. Yet the police see nothing and do nothing. I guess if you ignore criminals they aren't there is the police's philosophy. I see the police protect criminals not innocent, hardworking, taxpaying citizens. I help pay their wages by paying taxes yet they protect criminals who make their living illegally and pay no taxes! Go figure, democracy at work.

He was minimal risk based on everything an outsider can assess about him. He comes across as a perfectly logical harmless man, well outside the clinical offender profile of anyone frankly capable of this kind of thing. He found the only loophole a pot-bellied ageing man of his type could possibly manage to overpower younger stronger men, and that’s by striking when they willingly allow themselves to be tied up. Minimal risk doesn’t mean no risk, and unfortunately sociopaths like this can convince the very best of us.
