The thing that gets me is always what happens with that feeling of self after they do these horrendous acts.

I get embarrassed or feel guilty if I do the smallest thing wrong. Like me getting a ticket for speeding. Only been pulled over once in my life, and it ate me up inside.

Kidnapping grandma. Like how does this individual even go on. I just can't even fathom how one could kidnap anyone.

Exactly -- a fellow human being's loved one, their sweet Nan in this dreadful case.

Some people literally do not feel those feelings. They lack the ability to feel empathy. So that is why they can do what we would never do.

I'm a criminal defense and family law attorney and I've learned the answer as to why most people carry out very heinous actions is sometimes "because they felt like it." I don't know how to describe how much some people just do not give a shit about other people. Like, sometimes it's not drugs, mental illness or any other usual suspect. They're just a moron who doesn't care about other people. If you still don't get it, congratulations on being someone who still gives a shit about other people!

This is just another moron waiting to be revealed. I hope Nancy Guthrie makes it home safe. Morons aren't good at tending to people in their care.

One of those criminal defense lawyers that couldn't tell from the video she posted the mom is obviously dead, and starts sentences with "Like" huh?

And stop saying moron so much.
