For all the “violence is evil” crowd, consider this case where the violent are allowed to continue their lust until they are temporarily satiated.
As long as America makes provisions to accommodate sin, the exceedingly sinfulness of sin will bear bad fruit. Today, we turn our head towards other lusts such as fornication, homosexuality, and a litany of other vice with the proviso that it doesn’t hurt society as long as performed in private. When similar heinous acts such as this occur in public, rather than immediately seeking justice, Americans are more interested in the titillation of their imagination or seeking to have their ears tickled.
