I got really irritated about here because it goes to show that even if you’re really good at something, it doesn’t matter. There’s always someone above you that will continue to do things the way that “works” “the way we have always done it” or “what makes sense” … except it doesn’t + it doesn’t work because the world would be a better place and like a lot things, those choices are fueled by $

Where he talks about his theory and wonders about a different life I don’t feel it’s to make the reader feel bad for him, and I don’t, he is an adult. If he was feeling bad about the fox or how he felt “nothing” all the time, he could have spoken to someone about it. I know there’s a nature vs. nurture component but people all the time grow up AWFUL and come out the most amazing people you’d ever meet.

I like how the book was written. It’s descriptive and irritating at times but I think it brings up a lot of good points that could be discussed. It makes you wish that “innocent until proven guilty” wasn’t a thing almost because of what occurs and there were so many times he could have been brought in, but we know why it is the way it is and then the death penalty is a whole different factor.

When he explains that the system is flawed and makes valid points but then sort of compares his wrongs to Big Bears.. it invalidates everything. One man unknowingly shot officers that broke into his home with a warrant, for the wrong address. The other purposefully murdered 3 girls to “get himself to feel something.” While both wrong.. those are very different.
