Ya know, I guess I am a little hard hearted at times. Watching a documentary about a young man who was murdered by a woman he had known just 26 days.

She goes to prison for murder and the Mother and Step father of the dead guy have totally fogiven her and are now her biggest fans as she serves her time in prison.

What a crock of ****.

OK, I can see this Netflix series I Am a Killer is not gonna do my health any good. Episode 2 is just as much bullshit I Ain't Responsible as the first.

Time to read.
