>>543343>I'm not going to root for an escaped violent offender simply because of my political opinions.Can't remember the exact phrase, but it had something about Anne Frank being lucky to not live next to you. A 'violent offender', what do you know about it? Many innocent people are convicted. I can see why you don't root for escapees.
This reminds me of a story about some US POWs escaping from a Japanese camp. After they were caught they were expected to be executed. However the commanding officer had such respect for these POWs he cancelled the executions. They had survived in a jungle for weeks.
Maybe we need heroes. Maybe, unbeknowst to us, we have similar respect for any escapee and we hope they survive. If it was a movie, only losers would submit, the main character would try to escape.
