As someone who has ***** up so many times in life I’ve lost track, I want to feel empathy for the kid. The details in the story make it extremely difficult. He’s paying the piper. I wish people were a little less cavalier about his future but I guess that’s human nature.
His parents on the other hand, are almost certainly the root cause of his lack of compassion and extreme callousness toward a person who did nothing to deserve that kind of treatment. I’d be real curious to hear stories of his upbringing and what led him to be so void of compassion.
I have a hard time believing he came from two well adjusted, empathetic people. There are probably some ghosts in their closet and demons that are finally seeing the light of day.
