@Ulfra_Wolfe I do not say this lightly;

People like this? They do not deserve closure for their child's death.

Not until they fucking own up to being a part of it, then to pissing on their memory afterwards, ripping apart everything that person fought so hard to achieve.

I cannot 'forgive' people who not only don't make amends, but retreat /even further/ in the direction of hate & bigotry.

The deaths that result *should* gnaw at them at night.

@Ulfra_Wolfe I say that not out of a wish for further human suffering, or revenge..

Sometimes guilt can lead to a stunted concience poking its way through the concrete. Sometimes guilt can lead to change.

..And sometimes it can just drive bigots deeper into their prejudices.

But closure without atonement.. That only makes it easier to avoid facing up to the consequences of their actions, to reinforce blameless narratives. Fuck that.
