aaron and i never had an overt conversation about the fact he killed his parents and now he was parenting a kitten. it was obvious to me though that whatever he couldn t feel for his own family and certainly the people he killed, he seemed to transfer all of these emotions over to this cat, which was interesting to observe, and we spent weeks there and i would check in with him periodically, and we were filming aaron looking at family photographs, and he started to pause and he seemed to almost be reminiscing in a good way as he looked at his mom, and he seemed to have a little kinder feelings towards her.
bothered by the military experience at all. if anything, i feel like he got a little bit of a charge from it. to an extent it was fun. i guess every kid s dream is to blow stuff up and shoot people, i guess. you know, little fantasy, but i mean, it was bad at the same time. i think one of the things that was difficult for me in dealing with bruce was that when he told his stories about being a soldier over in iraq, his behavior was despicable. we would rob people over there, and there you can just hey, i m taking this [ bleep ] whether you like it or not. they don t do anything about it. what are they going to do? why were you robbing people in iraq? for the hell of it, i guess. because we could. but it was a different story when his crime spree made headlines. he felt the coverage was unfair. how are you being perceived in the media? like i m some kind of monster, i guess. you know, here we are putting our lives on the line every day for the people in this country, a
on a lot of levels. he was a good example as to why you don t want to take justice into your own hands. his crime was that of a vigilante. you know being a christian means you don t have to be scared of your past because your sins, no matter how ugly they are, and we have some ugly ones in this room he is an inmate preacher at the prison s chal and ca trace the ugliest of his sins a bizarre series of events that began with the loss of his arm. after the air force medically retired me, i retired to little rock, arkansas, started selling clothes in the mall. all i thought about all day long was having one arm, being in the big city where i didn t know anybody, and i already had like self-confidence issues before that. so finally one day i decided, the only way i m going to get over this and not miss out on
