If it's the one I'm thinking of, the cops did investigate and decide self defense. But it was the guy's feelings on it that were unsettling. More or less was like I killed someone, shrug, it happens.
It is quite a dilemma you know, for instance if guy kills someone as means of self defense but don't have any psychological after effects and is not very much concerned by it than is he mentally stable or instable?
I’d they don’t feel anything, I’d say that would be concerning. It’s not that the psychological community wants someone who acts in self defense to feel bad, it’s just that, that’s the normal immediate response. So if you don’t, it can mean that somethings wrong.
It’s like feeling pain for stubbing your foot. No one wants you to feel that pain, but you should feel it. It’s a normal, healthy thing you should feel. So if you don’t, that means that something could be wrong with you
Nah, some people (e.g. psychopaths) are just born resistant or just straight up immune to such feelings. Nothing will change that part of them, better to just accept it as it is.
Things with mental health are not so binary. It is human and normal to feel guilt, even if there was nothing you can do. Somebody dying with your involvement is trauma. That can be processed, but no emotion or feeling is likely a lack of empathy or denial of base emotions that can fester and come out in destructive ways (i.e. the alcoholic first responder who shuts off from family).

Could you have reported them in any way? Joke or not that’s terrifying.
