I’ve been watching a lot of crime documentaries lately and I also read a story online about Denali Dakota Skye Brehmer and how she killed her supposedly best friend in a murder-for-hire scheme. I felt awful for the victim and her family. The story was so terrible that it just had me wondering, “what compels someone to kill another human being?” I just don’t understand how a person can actually kill someone. Maybe it’s the way I’m wired, or the way I was raised…or maybe this is “people who are hurting, go out and hurt other people”, I don’t know if it’s because these people have less grey matter in the brain, or lack of empathy, but I just can’t wrap my around how someone can’t actually go out and kill someone else.

P.S. I’m not talking about situations of self-defense or police officers who HAVE a JUSTIFIED reason to shoot someone.
