he was raped a couple of times as a kid and the first time he killed someone was when they were about to rape a couple of other kids.
Doesn't excuse what he did, but ultimately that's where his 'rescue' led him

I know I am going to sound like a sap, but, I do feel sorry for him.
I don't think he deserved jail.
Sometimes, a person like that, whom has suffered much, doesn't want others to suffer as he has, and he will do what he can to stop it, wishing someone could have helped or saved himself.
Honestly, so what if he killed a would-be-rapist-paedophile, he did society a big favour.
NO! ....he didn't.
The life and example of Bobby Veen.Being exonerated, for murdering
alleged child molesters/abusers, would have 'sent the wrong message' to the broader community.
i.e.
'.....its OK to be judge, jury, and executioner, sometimes.'.....and it is
NOT OK!
The fault,
our fault, ...is in our having pity for a person like Bobby Veen,
a convicted murderer.
But the much greater fault is with
OUR, OUR, OUR dysfunctional justice system, ....which operates with our authority, and on our behalf.
WE 'OWN',
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM.
WE [ultimately], ARE
THE ONES WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE, FOR HOW IT OPERATES,
ON OUR AUTHORITY,
AND ON OUR BEHALF.
We are witnesses, to a dysfunctional justice system, which allows and tolerates child molesters/abusers, AND OTHER LAWLESSNESS, ....
so as to appease the 'do gooders', ....who want to acquit everyone, of wrongdoing!http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1434160480/2#2As individual citizens, we have no direct authority to regulate how
our justice system operates.
Instead, we pay politicians and bureaucrats [
very, very well!] to administer and to manage, how our justice system operates, ....
on our behalf.
But, we have a circumstance today, we have a political system today, .....where those who
DO HAVE THE AUTHORITY to seek much better outcomes [e.g. to secure
justice for the victims, of violent criminals] refuse to be accountable for the appalling consequences of their mis-administration.
Those who we have appointed to administer and to manage our justice system,
refuse to properly do so, they refuse to account
justice, against those who live among us, and commit criminal acts [and sometimes very violent criminal acts] .
I would suggest, because of their own [political] cowardice, or [in some cases] because their own complicity in gross lawlessness.
