Glad you decided to avoid danger.
I have a real problem with this idea that being "homicidal" is a health problem that can be controlled with medication. People who commit murder have something profoundly wrong with them. I don't doubt he came from a screwy family where there was probably abuse/neglect. People run away from homes like that everyday. He didn't. Murder was his solution.
So, because he was institutionalized for 15 years, he's probably okay now? People saying he deserves a second chance? He already killed two people.
And this notion of not being judgemental is nuts. I'm not saying judge the destiny of his soul. That is beyond human judgement. But, yeah, if I know a guy killed a couple of people, I am going to judge that this is a person for me to stay away from.
I wonder if this guy you met on line isn't a big liar putting on a fake identity. After a double homicide, he's out loose?
What about the next lunatic who reaches out to you? It seems that you think that being a good hearted person means you should assume the best of others, until they prove that wrong. That seems to be the default setting of a lot of young women's minds. The truth is that, when you don't know someone, you don't know them. The reasonable position would be to assume nothing. Don't go assuming that people are either good or bad. Recognize that you need more information. There are bad people in the world. For all you know, the person standing next to you in a public elevator may be one of them.
