I feel sorry for the family [View all]

of the Oklahoma beheading suspect. His poor mother apologizing for her son's actions. Just breaks my heart.

I have one question, is it that easy to cut someones head off? It had to have taken at least a moment or two. Why didn't the other workers help her and stop him?
