Well, here's a true story for all of you..
My eighteen year old son was brutally murdered six years ago tonight.. The thirty-four year old killer was a repeat/released violent criminal.. He's now in jail for fifty-eight years to life, and must serve forty-eight before chance of getting out again..
A lot of people lost their best friend that night..G_d be with them..
I've walked that mile in your shoes 15 years ago this month when my 16 year old was brutally beaten to death by a recividist sociopath juvenile who was the local bully and drug dealer just to see what it felt like to kill. He did 14.5 of a 20 year plea bargained sentence, they released him this last June having maxed out his 'good behavior' time. We fought 6 parole hearings, the first 10 months after he was sentenced.
Over 12,000 people a year lose their lives to REPEAT offenders on parole or probation! An equal amount of people are raped by repeat offenders. parole & probation stats
Dear Lord, how horrible. I don't know what to say except that I pray God comforts you and your family extra strong on this most terrible anniversary.
