| Just to add.....I don't even know them personally so how could I experience empathy on a personal level. I can surmise as to how I would feel if I were them but other than that it is hard to personally feel for someone that you do not know. |

| I do get it- yes, I certainly feel much more for Jayna's family. But I also feel for Brittany's and don't think statements about 'not sparing Brittany's family's feelings' are particularly empathetic. |

| I think it's entirely possible to feel empathy for someone I don't know personally. My original point is that those people who have mentally ill or troubled family members could have some understanding of the position this family is in and feel for them. |

New poster. Or it's just as likely that there's some family dynamic that has caused it. There's no way to know. |

| 13:16 here- yes, that is certainly in the realm of possibility, too. Too many unknowns at this point to know if the family had a role or not. |

I totally disagree. When it was thought that these two women had been brutalized, tortured and raped all night long, I felt for them bigtime. I cried and lost sleep over it. This is one of the reasons that I generally try to avoid listening to the local crime news. Now that we know the real story, I still feel deeply for Jayna and what she went through despite the fact that I do not know her. I also feel for her family as well as Brittany's family. It is called being a human being. |

| i would love to see the demographics on this thread. We already know we have exclamation points !!!! joining us (has !!! started visiting the other parenting forums, too? I've been watching out for lots of rambling, stream of conscience, over-excited posts with the word GEES (sic) and lots of caps). It seems like this thread is highly visible on google and we're attracting tons of amateur crime solvers. My favorite is the one who suggested that maybe the police are following this thread and that's how they broke the case. |

No, I would say that their pain is not as deep as Jayna's family because Jayna is in the ground and Norwood is still alive. |

| I am having trouble sympathizing with the murderer's family, though I understand why there should be sympathy for them. I identify more with Jayna, perhaps because of background. You can be happy and doing better for yourself while working at a job you may or may not like. PP had said perhaps the murderer was miserable with her own life and that is why she took it out on Jayna. That is likely true, but also very disturbing to me. There are so many people here who so obviously are not happy with their own lives. Clearly most of them are not capable of murder (we hope). But I have met people who are raised to hate (there I said it) other races. There is pure hate in this crime. I think that is the most troubling part. Is anyone else thinking about this a lot? It's just so sad and unsettling, even though we know who did it. I don't want to sound paranoid and think maybe a coworker is a killer. But to think this is what happened and supposedly no one saw it coming. It's just scary. |

What do you mean "we're attracting..." like are you some sort of cult? Yeah I did not know this forum existed before the whole incident but who do YOU (yeah I used caps) think you are? Pretty sad if this is all you do all day and brag about people wanting to join in on the forum because its sooo popular. Have you read the article about how catty and juvenile this forum is? I got quite a laugh out of it because it was so true. I am not going to lie, I enjoy reading what people have to say on here, but find posters like you terribly rude. |

Either way, pps, this is not a competition. |

Precisely. People like PP need to get a deep. It is not up to you to categorize priority for empathy. And, also, the two are not mutually exclusive. If you possess empathy enough for only a single family, that says something about you. |
