The pictures are remarkable. It’s the same person.
My thoughts: What a contrast! Alive one minute - making a huge mistake... dead the next. Justifiably or not, dead is dead.
The contrast impresses me.
I’ve made mistakes in the past. How close was I to the second set of pictures? I don’t know.
I believe God protected me from my sin - over and over again - and He still does.
Whether it seems good to you or not: God loved “Big Mike” and did not want him to die without Christ. I don’t know where Mike is today... but it is clear that his sin led to his physical death. “You plant beans, you get beans.”
In every man (and woman) there is a great deal of potential but for Mike, that’s over.
I hope he is safe and secure now- for his sake.

Do you recall attacking a cop and attempting to take his gun? No? Well, you likely weren’t that close to the 2nd pic.
