Within the system this man was out on the street and did deadly harm while out.

His type of perp is lucky we are kind, compassionate, forgiving, gentle and good people. Even pay for his attorneys and extensive legal challenges and appeals. Nice people.

Luke 6:29
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other.

Matthew 5:40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

Maybe his parents should be named as codefendants for giving him a name like “Cleotha”.

I almost got another 30 day suspension from Facebook when I quoted a line by Dean Martin in ROUGH NIGHT IN JERICHO. “Lock him up. We’ll hang him tomorrow right after the trial.”

I had a post on FR pulled by the mods years ago after a similar thing happened. Here is part of it.

“Now in the olden days, when something like this happened, a part of the city would burn down, the next day trees and lamp posts(rest of comment removed before the mods see it) but then you could take your families out for a stroll in safety for years.”

Only on GAB can I post both without any removal.

He’ll die in prison before it’s ever carried out.

Oh, so for HER they are going to give the killer the death penalty. (and they should) But for the rest of us the murderer gets out with no bail to kill again. The elite get justice and we get to die for their “social justice”.

They had him locked up before but let the monster out. This is on the parole board and a judge.

Unfortunately, most convicts die of natural causes in their 50s on TN’s death row. I believe there has been 3 or 4 actually put to death in the last 5 years. Currently, we have approximately 47 men and women sitting on death row.

A sharp defense lawyer will get him off PRONTO!

“Your Honor, members of the Jury, and Press, my client was
peacefully minding his own business when this ultra rich, entitled, white supremacist, racist, ran by and called him a N*GG*R! Of course he’s not guilty of any WRONGDOING! HE WAS AFRAID OF BEING LYNCHED! TERRIFIED FOR HIS LIFE, HE WAS JUST PROTECTING HIMSELF! ASK ANYONE IN HOLLYWOOD...OR REP. WATERS!”

Still wondering why the vic was out jogging alone at 4:30 in the morning...

In August that's got to be the only decent time to run in hot and humid Tennessee. Lots of runners go very early in the morning during the summer.

Nothing happens to them in prison except they grow old there. Maybe some romance, but that’s it.

An addiction I could use.

Not much of a runner, barely a jogger but am working on it.

When you are a billionaire's heiress, the Police don't dawdle when called.

Of your own independent knowledge, do you have proof that she was doing anything other than jogging? Can you prove that she was doing anything other than jogging?

LOL!! The Judge set his bail at $500,000, and that was based on a charge of Murder in the 1st Degree. Obviously the Judge didn’t think this guy was a security risk if he gave him that low of a bail amount, so how they think he’ll actually face the death penalty is beyond me.

RE:Genesis and Romans.

To save people time:

Genesis 9:6 states, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” (ESV) It is argued that this verse establishes capital punishment.
