Yes. In an ideal world, the mother of a son that committed murder should be his salvation. It's unconditional love.
Sometimes, though the mother or father can escalate a problemed mind to the point of having to deal with stress and frustration to the point of taking it out on other people.
They mean well but just weren't good parents. There is also this factor....The son or daughter was born with an abnormal gene that doesn't belong in our DNA, that makes them prone to act out in anger, resulting in homicide. They could be the best parents in the world and it would not make any difference.
Our legal system needs to be updated so that it recognises that anyone capable of murder is suffering from a mental disorder.
I truely believe that it is something the offender has no control of.
I hear constantly the insanity plea. In my opinion. a person would HAVE to be insane or a more polite term, mentally & geneticly not correct, to perform such an act as severing a person's life.
The mother of sons that have committed murder, differ from mother to mother.
If the son has been treating the mother badly, depending on her personal personality profile, can range from her saying, My son would NEVER do anything like that!,...to hang the sob, I've had enough.
This is a good question and very thought provoking. I could spend hours discussing this.
It's a very controversial subject that really hasn't been explored enough. We need to regroup and discuss other methods of dealing with homicidals other than automaticly giving them the death penalty.
There have been 13 men released from prison in Texas alone since January that were falsley convicted. Due to DNA evidence, they were set free after serving 13 to 20 years, needlessly.
Close friends and relatives are not very reliable witnesses, when it comes to a person's character. We ALL can be biased.
A mother's love is the only thing that could quite possibly be comfort and their lonly emotional and internal solice of the days and years they must spend behind walls of a cold, unforgiving existence.
In answer to your initial question.. Would I support that individual that close to my heart?.......I would. I would carry that as far as I could. I would hope for the best and nothing more............or less.
A mother's love is so strong that it's inpenetratable. I can forgive a woman for standing by her murderous son.
It is just nature and I think most people really do understand this.

You are getting into an area of "fencing" over words. Choose words very carefully. I do not believe that you are actually supporting a murderer in a literal sense. Let me give an illustration.
There is a basic idea in Christianity. That is that while God hates sin God always loves the person committing the sin.
A person can easily make a distinction between a person and the acts committed by that person. It is good and appropriate to value people. In contrast certain behaviors cannot be tolerated. Murder is such a behavior. For everyone's safety people should be loved while crime should be abhorred. Hate evil acts and love the evil doer.

I believe there's a point to which love can not overcome certain obstacles. The bond between mother and son, father and daughter, uncles and nieces and such other relationships are hard to break no matter what has happened. A man I work with has a father in prison because he was a child molester. This man harbors negative emotions but still loves him. He had many fond and wonderful memories with his dad and those memories keep him going everyday. He believes his dad should be punished for his crimes but that doesn't keep him from loving his dad.
My father, who is a minister, told me a story which I will never forget. A man was in prison for raping and murdering a woman. It was a very violent and cold hearted crime filled with hate. The mother asked to speak with this man. She was allowed to be in the same room with him as he was heavily restained. She told this man it did not matter to her what his motives were because whatever they were it could not bring her back. She also told him that he owed her his life in return for taking away her daughter. She actually forgave him and would visit him as often as she could. She said, and I quote, ''You are now my son. If you ever get out of prison I will be expecting you to come to me as my son and return the love I give you today.'' Many years later this man was released and he did as she requested. He went straight to her house when he was released and lived with her till the day she died. He became a son to her and they shared many wonderful memories.
Now I know this is a very rare case but it does prove that love can prevail. She visited him weekly in prison and over time they were connected. No matter how harsh or heinous the crime, it is possible to love someone.

Well it does all depend on the actual details of the murder, but you cannot change a mother's love for her son. She gave birth to him and watched him grow, how can she just judge him and turn her back, it's almost like you can't. I am a mother and i can't imagine turning away from my baby even when he is grown. But you always have to put yourself in other people's shoes who is not a mother, friend, or any kind of relative to him, because the fact does still remain he did murder someone, you have to feel the victim's family pain. What about the victim's mom or siblings and children. They will never see, hear, touch, talk, or speak to them again. At least the murderer's mom can see her son again. People's opinions really don't matter when you cross the line of killing god's creatures, it's in god's hands now. He will handle it on judgement day. Only god can judge any of us, and forgiveness is a virtue, not support!

I wouldn't support what they did, but as a friend, family member whatever the case may be I would still love them just the same without judgement on how they conducted there life outside the loving walls of our relationship.

Of course. People make mistakes. As for a mother, she has unconditional love for her son. He could've been drunk or on serious drugs, or just have a mental condition. We all have to pay for our mistakes, and he has to pay for his life. But the mother will always see her son for the good he has done in his life, not the mistakes he has made. At least I hope my mother does.

I will always love my son. my son will always love me. If he committed a horrible crime I would not support his action...but I would always love him and be all the support I could be to him. That is why we have hearts and souls. You do not truly love anyone if it is conditional.

depends on who they killed as well as the circustances. Last week someone in my town strangled his wife to death, but he was always a top bloke to my grandmother so i feel sorry for him. I'm not saying i agree with murder but he always seemed nice enough to me and anyones whose nice to my grandmother is alright in my book

It depends on the details:
If he murdered the man who raped his daughter, or the woman who killed his brother, or someone who sexually molested his child, then I would love & support him.
If he shot the store-owner during an armed robbery, that's a different story----and I would certainly turn my back on him.
