Yeah I know what you mean. When I was growing up, there was a kid my age and he was just bad. Pure evil. If there was something lose, he stole it. A kid weaker than him, he beat the heck out of him. Something to burn - consider it aflame. Even killed his mothers pet bird for kicks. For some reason, he never bothered me, and we got along ok, so much so that I remember asking him why he did all that bad stuff. This was when we were about 11-12. He thought about it for a long time and then said that he had no choice. He HAD to. Even though he knew it was wrong, he had no choice but to do the opposite of what he should. No matter what he did, he felt he was doomed to make the wrong choice. I guess Schwamb was cut of the same cloth.
