I'm not saying he's the devil, but at some point your good intentions pale in comparison to the consequences of what you do. If he hadn't reported dog fighting for instance, I'd be pissed at him, but I wouldn't be calling for the guy's head on a platter, but no matter how good a person he is, his inaction still almost certainly resulted in another child losing their innocence.
