Why doesn’t anyone here give a rip about the victims of crime? And who cares if I forgive...ultimately, it doesn’t mean a thing.
What happened to my family isn’t eating me alive; this prisoner stuff always annoys me to no end when you think about the horrific crimes they’ve committed against others in their lives. Why aren’t these dogs put down in the first place?
Take a life, give your life in turn.
Will ‘forgiving’ prisoners being punished by society for their crimes make the outcome any different? Will it turn back the clock for the victims and their families?
I do care, but at some point, it is time to separate the wheat from the chaff.

One morning my husband got up and left to go to work. I did not get up with him as I had worked very late the night before.
As I laid dozing in our bed a man jimmied the window to our apartment open, cut the phone line, found a knife and came into the bedroom...
That morning I became a victim of a violent crime. The neighbors in the other apartments had left for work too and I had to find my way to the payphone to call for help.
Today if I heard the man who had serial raped several dozen women & girls was dying in prison...I would wish him peace and the ability to believe in things bigger than himself. Would I want him released? NO. But I can find room for his soul, if he can find room for Jesus.
