People are complicated

"Daryl: We’re the good guys!
Arlo: What… what are you talking about? There aren’t any good guys! You realize that, don’t you? I mean, you realize there aren’t evil guys, and innocent guys, it’s just, it’s just… it’s just a bunch of guys!"

To wit [via Suburban Guerilla]:

Ashley Smith, who was held hostage in her apartment in March by the man now charged with murder in the Atlanta courthouse shootings, was hailed as a hero after she disclosed how she had persuaded her captor to surrender, partly by reading to him from the spiritual best seller “The Purpose-Driven Life.”

But in a memoir released yesterday, Ms. Smith also recounts that she gave the kidnapper some of her supply of crystal methamphetamine during her captivity and that she did not tell the police for some time afterward.
