Sergei Lukyanenko. Draft (№ 48521)

It argued that the most heinous crime in the world is the murder of children. The killing of the elderly is contemptuous indignation, but not Wake the infernal horror. Murder women also perceived extremely frowned upon - as men (for the women to kill something?) and women (all men are bastards!)
But the killing of the male person, with the child farewell, but in the senile decrepitude not lapsed perceived to be quite ordinary.
Don't believe?
Well, try the taste of the phrase: "He pulled out a pistol and shot the child", "He pulled out a pistol and shot the old man", "He pulled out a pistol and shot the woman and He pulled out a pistol and shot the man." Feel like decreases the degree of repulsiveness? The first type was obviously the commandant of the concentration camps and sadistic. The second SS man from the Sonderkommando burning every morning at the village. Third, the Wehrmacht officer who caught the ball with a canister of kerosene and a box of matches near the ammunition depot.
And the fourth, though shot from a pistol could easily be our scout, to kill someone from three villains.
