    I’d be incredibly proud of my mother if she could do that. Not many are capable of having empathy when someone they love is the victim.

        So you’re assuming what the mother’s intentions are to fit your own opinion, rather than believing her at her word?

            …you don’t think she gave thought to the other people victimized? Even with one of the victims being her own child?

            I’d bet my life that she’s put significantly more thought into this than either of us could possibly imagine, and that calling her a narcissist is simply closed-minded and pathetic. She’s a grieving mother ffs.

                You should try to be a bit more empathetic. Always assuming the worst in people is no way to live.

                And no kidding these people don’t get better in prison. That’s because our prison systems don’t rehabilitate - their only purpose is to punish and generate money.

                She’s advocating for this person because she’s able to empathize with them. And her being able to do that doesn’t somehow negate any empathy she has towards the families of the victims - herself included.
