The exact opposite, that all I see including that in others is what could potentially be in me, and I don't want to be a murderer, or a torturer, or evil, or cruel, or anything like that. So since I accept that, I want to with that acceptance instead of just letting it be, reject it and choose how to be instead of just letting those feelings from acceptance drive me to what I could potentially be.
To me that murderers exist is proof that under the right circumstances I am a murderer, it is not a fate that can be escaped as it is.. observed. But that does not in any way make me need the experience as part of my current lessons. While not needing it, I can at the same time understand that it can be a needed experience for others, just as I have my own needed experiences to live.
If you have that fear within yourself, then working with it and accepting it as part of self is the STO ways to balance yourself. To control and repress it would be the STS way to balance it. Rejecting it is not balancing anything and the Universe will make you face what you need to face sooner or later.
