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.

The family thought someone else did it. Hispanics, but on the whiter side. Gave them closure. Turned himself in. He's at 20 years now. Forgiveness isn't easy, but sometimes necessary.

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
