Forgiveness is a very tough subject. In many cases, there are people who truly do not deserve to be forgiven for any of their crimes.
Most people who commit direct crimes against humanity (not your drug dealers and theives, but the rapists and murderers of the world) deserve the most punishment that they can recieve. I have said before, and I strongly believe in, bringing back painful, humiliating punishments in the criminal justice system.
Forgiveness is all well and good - but there are times when forgiveness is not warranted. Everyone has to pay for their actions. If you want to be a revolutionary, just be damn sure that your revolution succeeds. If you want to be a serial killer, don't get caught. There should be no sympathy for those that directly, intentionally, physically hurt or kill other citizens.
