When Georges St Pierre forgave and changed the life of his childhood bully. Much respect for that.

Many years ago I lived in Montana. While there I met this guy:
All I knew was that he was a Marine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Meirhofer
He was suspected of killing more people than the article above mentions.
One of his confirmed victims was the daughter of this woman: http://www.willsworld.com/~mvfhr/gallery_-_jaeger_lane.pdf
I remember her saying that at one time, she would have killed her daughters killer herself, but chose to forgive the man who kidnapped and killed her daughter. Im not sure I could reach her level of forgiveness, but I respect that she has remained true to her convictions.
Years later after my first hitch in the Navy, I was working for DOT/FRA on a fully electric locomotive. One of the engineers was from Bozeman, MT and he told me that the cops were closing in on this guy as a suspect in the girls killing and had reason to search his house. In his fridge they found several body parts.
So, off to jail he goes. The official report is that he committed suicide. My engineer friend told me that he had help.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. "

I agree Feddoc, we just aren't in other people shoes. I was watching the video about GSP after a video about Tommy Morrison and what he did to himself. He could have dominated for a few more years and he was a real good fighter. AIDS and drugs took him down.
