Something like that happened to John McCain when he was captured. The lynch mob was held back only by a North Vietnamese nurse who protected him.

In an interview I heard with NPR yesterday, reformed white supremacist Christian Picciolini said something along the lines of

when you receive compassion from the people you least deserve it from, that is when a true transformation can occur

I think that is an incredibly important sentiment.

Edit: here's the interview. What I'm referring to is the audio clip rather than the written piece. Well worth the listen. The paraphrased text is in the last minute.
