But he couldn't help it. Criminals punishing someone who is accidentily a criminal doesn't make them any better.

The criminals didn't punish him though, they tried to but the cops came before they could. Also the film ins't ambiguous over how it feels about the criminals trying to punish him.

How do the fact that he couldn't control it make it any better? It makes it worse. It means that he will always be a liability

Gobbels loved M.
>Fantastic! Against humanitarian soppiness. For the death penalty. Well made. Lang will be our director one day
Does a child rapist and murderer needs to be punished ? Well... I'm pretty confident we can say yes. That's just not the point the movie is trying to make.

Originally he wanted to censor the movie because he thought "murderer among us" would refer to them.
