18. I don't know much about

This story in particular, and I'm certainly not defending going around shooting at people (cops obviously included).

But, it's his Aunt. Sure that's a whole lot of denial. I like to think that I wouldn't go over the deep end in denial but I would be heartbroken if this was my niece or nephew. They are babies--and to this Uncle, they will always be my babies, to some extent. I love them unconditionally.

You can't always stop loving someone because they've done something terrible.
