      Yeah like, this wasn’t an accident. This was willfully killing someone. If she shot or repeatedly stabbed him, I don’t think you’d see the same sentiment. Something about hitting them with a mass of metal at high speeds is more sympathetic, because death by car strikes us at less violent.

      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.

        The person responsible for the crime announced she was planning on killing him, and ended up murdering two people in the act.

        Advocating for a sociopath to be released earlier than the court sentences them for is putting other people at risk. She already took two lives, she needs to be kept away from the rest of society for their safety.

        There’s nothing to be proud of here. She wants to be seen as a merciful person, and is sacrificing the safety of others, and dishonoring her son, to do it. That’s incredibly selfish.

          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.
