That’s ok, I have enough sympathy for both of us. There are plenty of people in this world who sin, even though they know the difference between right and wrong, and know it more firmly than a girl of 17.
Sometimes we sin anyway.
Sometimes God gives us the earthly time to figure out how to avoid great sinning and find Him. I am sorry this poor fool didn’t get that time.
Of course we do, but then we shouldn't blame others for the consequences of our actions. By chosing to participate in an armed robbery where the victim could easily have been murdered, she chose to be a potential murderer. In fact, it was only her bad luck and the victim's good luck that she was killed in struggling for the gun rather then her victim. You can be as sympathetic as you want, but I save my sympathies for the victim here, not the criminal.
On a similar note, do you sympathisize with Osama Bin Laden mass murderer of 2000? No? If not, where do you draw the line. Does someone who only murders a couple of people deserve sympathy? Does someone who tries to murder someone else but gets killed instead deserve sympathy? Not being a smart ass here genuinely want to know.
