Mary Bale: No shame, no guilt?

Mary Bale, the woman who cold-heartedly dropped a cat in the garbage can, and who was caught on video surveillance, speaks to the media briefly today. She is just chillingly cold.

Mary doesn’t show any shame, remorse, embaressment, or anything emotion that shows she is regretful for what she did. She is, on the contrary, confident which doesn’t bode well for her character, if you ask me, considering what she has done.

The BBC says she released a statement and in it they report that she says, “I cannot explain why I did this, it is completely out of character and I certainly did not intend to cause any distress to Lola or her owners. It was a split second of misjudgement that has got completely out of control.”

I find her statement interesting. Her split second decision “has got completely out of control”. It sounds as if she is insinuating that the “reaction” by people is completely out of control, not her actions. She isn’t saying that she was out of control, is she?

I’m not buying this woman is seriously sorry for her actions. Not one instant. She’s missing the emotions we would expect to see if she is truly regretful as she says and worse, we see arrogance, which should be void if she is regretful, sorry, embarrassed, ashamed, etc.
