You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, but I am telling you that you have no right to hold her responsible for the actions of her son. There is only so much she can do. She can impose all kinds our restrictions and punishments for his behavior while under her roof, but if he chose to disobey her rules and do what he eventually did, then that is in HIM, not his mother!
What do you mean I have no right to hold her responsible? A grandiose sentence that falls flat. I have the right free thought ergo I have the right to hold her responsible for the actions of her son. She raised him and she continued to embrace him after he committed a senseless murder which shows that he was able to operate with the knowledge that any wrong committed by him would not earn his mother's scorn.
It's tragically funny that people have such a hard time with embracing accountability. If people realised their actions would bring dishonour upon their family and shunned, I doubt they would be so trigger happy.
It is obvious that you are from somewhere else or come from a different culture, but I understand that where they are from, it wasn’t an easy life.
Yeah, as a Jamaican I don't know anything about hardship and people trivialising the atrocities committed by their family
It is because this shyt is close to home that it sickens me so much. People failing to raise their children, people failing to appreciate the damage they have caused, people expecting their lives to go back to normal when they've robbed others of that opportunity.
We can agree to disagree with this topic, but I personally felt his mother when she saw her son. Breh may be whatever to you or whoever else, but that isn’t going to stop a mother from loving her son....
Yeah, we are not going to reach an agreement. The problem is that you seem to think that love is an excuse to shirk one's responsibility. As a parent, your job is to raise your children and ensure they stay on the right path.
When you cry tears of joy over a reunion with your murdering son outside of prison, you're showing that above all else what you wanted was their freedom.
Someone could love their son whilst recognising that them being released from prison for murder is nothing to feel elated about. The mood would be sombre and the expectation would be that they start to atone for their crimes.
For all the c00ns in here saying if you take a life you need to deal with the consequences

18 year old white girl gets 36 months probation for killing 3 pedestrians
1) You are comparing offences where the malice involved is completely different. Killing someone due to recklessness involves a less culpable mind than shooting someone in a robbery.
2) You are speaking as though people are okay with the white girl getting a slap on the wrist for killing 3 pedestrians. If I had things my way, she would be horse whipped and imprisoned for life.
Society places too much focus on giving people second chances. It is disrespectful to the people who were robbed their chance.
Started this thread as a feel good moment, then everyone started talking about not caping for a killer......
You couldn't find a story of someone graduating after experiencing hardship? Shed light on someone donating time and/or money to their community.
Why should this be a feel good moment? Is this how low we are setting the bar. That we should rejoice over a murderer being reunited with his mother outside of prison

Again, this is something that sickens me. It seems that people have more love for the degenerate who manages to achieve the bare minimum than the person who makes an effort to live a clean life.
