Thank you.

I like a good successful self-defense story as much as the next guy but I’m not going to crow or grunt at an old woman whose criminal son is dead and chooses to forgive and embrace the man who killed him.

Agreed, good comments!

It still amazes and embarrasses me how hateful some conservatives can be. Some on FR seem devoid of all empathy. They just cannot or will not put themselves in the mother's shoes.

Sad story, why crow about it?

Sounds reasonable to me. The mother seems like a woman who did her best, for her son, and isn't willing to let that or her own grief fill her heart with hate or rage.

It is a rare woman to be possessed of that kind of wisdom and forgiveness.
