I have been reading on this Facebook site about a boy that was murdered in our hometown. It's a victim remembrance site so people can post stuff about the victim and how great they were and how he touched the lives of many, etc etc. I am of two minds of this. I can see how it can help and hinder. It's nice to see that this boy touch so many peoples lives and that the family knows they aren't alone in mourning. On the other hand it tends to bring out the worst in people too. Not everyone can be friends with everyone. You are going to have the odd person that will post something so stupid and hurtful to that site that the family has anger/frustration towards that poster and they can't continue on with their lives.
I am totally fascinated on how much anger and revengeful feelings that people can have as well. We have a justice system and it may not be perfect, but it's there for a reason. You have to believe in it, as much as it doesn't make sense to you at the time. You are usually leaning towards one side more than the other. If you own family member was killed you would be so distraught, and automatically guess that the other person is guilty. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial and innocent until proven guilty. What if it was you on the other end (I know it's hard to think about it and I myself have not experienced crime of this magnitude, so I have no clue really on how to handle it) and you were accused of a murder. You'd expect the fullest extent of the law to help you out, if you think you are innocent. I also think people should take responsibilities for their own actions. If you can't do the the time then don't do the crime. That is a good lesson to learn. If you are not willing to spend 20 yrs in jail, then don't do it! Passion killings (having someone you know/love kill you) seems, to me, the most common form of unnatural death out there. Humans are the most complex beings out there. How we can go from loving to killing in the blink of an eye is fascinating to me. I know I'm warped. I can't help but feel for the families on both sides. Not only has the victims family have a lot of healing to do, but think about the other side of the family. How can they show their face around town when everyone is whispering and pointing at them, saying that's the 'murderers mom/dad'. It's got to be hard for them too. How do you support your child, but know they did something so horribly wrong that you should be on the other side of the courtroom. My Mom says you should unconditionally love your child. If I was in the same situation, I don't know how I would handle it. I think it would be a mix of guilt and loyalty . Mourning for the family of the victim and for your own. Hard to say where my loyalty would lie. Anyways, enough about that twisted crap :P {*sidenote: I am just trying to wrap my head around the whole thing, trying to see it from both sides of the door. Being a outsider looking in, who has no feelings wrapped in this case. Potential juror I guess you'd put me as.*}
True Blood is getting good I think. Grandma was murdered, Justin and Sookie (don't know if that's how u spell her name) are fighting with one another. Sookie and Bill hooking up, mysterious Uncle shows up at funeral, getting good!!! Dexter is kind of meh so far. Not really grabbing me yet. It's getting there, but kind of slow and I think cause they have a guest start like Jimmy Smits it's become to commercial for me. I don't know why it hasn't really worked for me this season. I was quite involved the last two seasons, though I don't go anywhere knowing that it's coming on LOL. Still loyal, just waiting and seeing I guess.
Kiddo is getting excited about Halloween, being Optimus Prime this year. Hope that Mr. Man will be home to take him this year and I can stay home an give out stuff. Mr. Man wasn't home last year, Kiddo loved it, had so much fun. He was a firefighter last year. Still has his costume, wears it pretending. Think I might buy a lot of stuff after Halloween this year, will be cheap right and great for dress up pretending stuff :)
Anyways, take care out there. Know that not all people are bad. The bad ones are always more interesting, hence the news about them all the time.
Best Wishes
