What makes you think I have no compassion? I prayed that they be saved and changed. If they refuse then I have to pray for the protection of the innocents that they will drag into hell with them.

Read psalms. David was a man after God's own heart yet David prayed for the destruction of his enemies. God didn't have a problem with this.

Is it better to let an evil person who refuses to be saved and changed live and drag many others into hell with them or to remove that evil one so that those many others can be saved and enter heaven?

I pray that the evil ones be saved and changed. Always. But if they refuse to change then it is better for them to die instaed of dragging innocents into hell with them.

How did Jesus refer to people who lead others into sin?

Matthew 18:1 ¶ At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Note that this little child was an innocent. Likewise the actions of Granholm place many of these innocents at greater risk of molestation. So she is effectively offending these little ones.

I'd rather see one person cast into hell early than hundreds or thousands dragged into hell because that one lived and didn't get saved and changed

You can choose to be all soft and mushy and let innocents go to hell if you so choose. I'll continue to pray for the death of unrepentant evil-doers. I have biblical support for it.

Good points.
