I find it highly amusing that a person I've long perceived to be a devout Christian is so eager to drink the blood of others. Or is my perception of you incorrect?
Judge not lest you be judged. I`m prepared to be judged for my crimes, and to have my own verdicts passed against me. If I kill a nine year old child, feel free to publicly execute me as a warning to others. It would eb the least of what I`d deserve.
And if I can pass that against myself, I can sure as shit pass it against others.
because this man clearly has mental health issues and he didnt get the help he needed. he did however have free access to guns and bullets (maybe thats the real issue here). A mentally disturbed man that kills a child cant be judged the same way a "sane" person like you or I should be judged. What he did was horrible but killing him without a trial would not help anyone.
