Did it ever occur to you that this man is living with his mother because there was no one else to take care of her? And that this killing was in fact a form of euthanasia? Or he just snapped because the strain of taking care of someone with a terminal disease was too much?

You wouldn't be calling this person a "loser still living at home" if it was a woman who had killed her elderly father.

And that this killing was in fact a form of euthanasia? Or he just snapped because the strain of taking care of someone with a terminal disease was too much?

So that makes it all okay then? Besides, the article says nothing about her being sick or needing care.
