I find the defendant to be surprisingly similar to Charles Manson, who was among the most toxic people of the late 1960s ...... though Charlie had more respect for the court system. But I don't think they are what Mr. Russell was speaking of. You nail it in your last paragraph. It's the risk of becoming intolerant, cold hearted, and hateful. For as others have said, these contaminate the vessel that contains them.
