    Look at what an ounce of empathy can do. Imagine if we all took a moment from each day to be this excellent to one another.

      I really wanted her to give him a better hug than that though, wtf was that. Not everyone is a hugger, I suppose.

          I don’t get what being professional has to do with giving your childhood classmate a proper hug. She came to his release and everything, as a private citizen and not on duty.

          I’ll chalk it up to her being a bad hugger or something. She doesn’t owe him a proper hug or anything like that, I just wish it looked more like she wasn’t pity-hugging him.

            Could be. My family doctor is a high school friend of mine. We’re very friendly but we don’t hug or anything it would feel weird to me. She’s seen my balls, I prefer to keep it professional thanks.

        All these jackasses cheering for a feel-good story. Well, what about the prison stockholders? They don’t feel good about this, you selfish bastards.

                This IS the 2024 version. The guy didn’t turn his life around in 2015, he’s been doing it since 2015. Try reading the article before commenting next time.
