Grief has driven this woman crazy, but the rest of us are not doing her any favor if we do not give her a strong "No".
No one has the right to threaten another human being with death or injury and be protected by the law when the victim of that threat responds with deadly force. That includes her son.
When you commit an armed robbery, the police are perfectly justified in shooting you during the commission of it, and so is anyone else. Her thinking may be part of the reason that her son did this stupid and fatal thing. There is no kindness in even being silent in the face of her irrationality.
It is understandable that she would be in agony, and we can sympathize with her grief, but not to the point of seeming to let this pass.
