Sometimes it's hard to comprehend the state of our world. I always believed that people were naturally good and exigent circunstances changed them.
These days it appears more and more that many are just deadened to remorse or guilt for the suffering they cause.
You might expect to see these sorts of reactions in a state of nature or some other situation where the instinct is pure survival. But we're talking about people in a supposedly advanced society with social programs and other forms of aid.
Not sure that I could ever shoot someone breaking into my home unless the kids were here that weekend. Were I alone the criminal would likely prevail.
sorry, didn't mean to veer off on a tangent. I just see these defendants daily and I constantly shake my head at the sociopathic attitudes.
