Am I alone in finding Ariel Castro to be far more monstrous than Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? Don't get me wrong. Killing people indiscriminately like the Tsarnaev brothers did is horrific. And I'd rather be imprisoned for 10 years than dead. But still, the length of time that Castro (assuming he's guilty) held these women (who were kids when he first kidnapped them), without ever having mercy on them and setting them free, looking into his victims' eyes every day or every week or whatever and continuing on....it boggles the mind. And one would have to assume that he did it all for purely selfish reasons, and not in the name of Afghans or Iraqis or whatever s*^t the Tsarnaevs presumably believed.
The ability to do this for such a long time is just stone cold. The Tsarnaev brothers were idiots.
