MISSOULA — A Missoula man is dead after police attempted to serve an arrest warrant at a home where a kitten was found severely abused earlier this week.

Officers arrived to serve an arrest warrant at 2419 38th St., shortly after 1 p.m. today, but the man inside would not come to the door.

The warrant was for aggravated animal cruelty charges related to the case of the abused 4-month-old kitten found at the home Sunday night after neighbors reported screams coming from the residence.

A Missoula police officer talked to the man inside the home on the telephone before approaching the house this afternoon, but the man would not come to the door.

There’s the old saying, “God have mercy on him, because I won’t.”

I have no idea whether that saying is old, but it certainly isn't very Christian.

In the end it’s up to God anyway despite of what we want.

You have complete say over your own salvation. God loves us so much that in the end he will give us what we want, even if what we want is an eternity without him. By refusing to forgive that pathetic man in the article and wishing him to Hell, you may be well on your way to making that choice for yourself. We all need repent of our own sins, and we all need to forgive the sins of others.

You are right, it's unChristian to wish hell upon anyone.

An Earthly beatdown on the other hand.

“To wish that anyone spend all eternity in Hell is a pure evil all it’s own, quite likely a far worse evil than even abusing kittens.”

Yeah. That bothered me, too. I am sorry for the kitten but I’m more sorry for the people who rejoiced at this man’s suicide. It seems to me, the guy repented and felt great shame. I feel for his family, too.

No, not just you. It’s a peculiar phrase.

Yes, the picture that headline creates is not what the story is about. Poor writing skills to say the least.
