Watching a special on BTK. Makes me wonder. Do know a guy through my grandparents when they were missionaries in Philadelphia. He murdered someone on drugs, didn't recall it till years later, always thought it was a dream (plus he was in a coma some time after that). Came to realize it was real. Confessed his crime and family of victim forgave him. Serving 20-40 years. Up for parole in 2 months. Had dinner with him when I was 12 or 13 before he went to jail.

Forgiveness isn't easy, but sometimes necessary.

I absolutely disagree. Sometimes, holding an eternal grudge is necessary.

This scum fuck took their family member's life. This is an act that cannot be forgiven. Can you forgive a reckless driver who ran a stop sign and killed your kid? Yeah, that's different- it was an accident. The guy's a fucking jackass, but he didn't set out to murder your son. He didn't put a bullet in him, or stab him, or beat him until his fucking heart stopped. That's what your "friend" here did. This is unforgivable, and I declare anyone who says an act such as this is forgivable to be a moral and physical coward.

I mean, he was fucked up with a friend. Thought it was a dream for years. Not excusing it, but he knew he must serve a punishment. Could've gotten away with it
