I've heard virtually this speech from someone, alone, in a room, just the two of us. He used it to justify his participation in the random victimization of American children, women, and familiies. Yes, and he had a lot of crap like "The Golden Bough" to back it up. Well, guess what. It was bullshit there and it's bullshit here.
Never make friends with the horror. Understand the need to destroy those who commit the horror. Don't initiate it. Don't cut the arms off little kids because they do. Understand that if they hide behind the kids the only way to destroy them may destroy the kids as well,because the alternative it to let the evil use the good as a hostage. But never, ever, make their "horrors" your friends and use that as an excuse.
"No more horrors," he said, over and over. And then went out and did them again. I wouldn't cross the street to spit on his grave.

RRA,
You know, I just read Heart of Darkness last year. I was amazed at how faithful Coppola, and Brando, were to the original text.
