No, some people wouldn't need forcing to do it, and that's what terrifies me Billy. There are those who'd happily take up the scalpel and power drill in the name of what they perceive as "justice". Forgive me, but I don't think you're such a person Billy. I think you could kill someone in the heat of the moment, just like anybody could, myself included, but to strap another human being - monster or not - down and subject them to the most appalling, horrific torture? Scalp them, degrade them, grow bamboo in their wounds etc. etc.? No. I just don't think you're capable of it. Which is what makes you better than Brady and Manson and Hindley and the rest.
