I didn't commit the murder, I just am glad it happened. Does that make me a bad person?

If so, sign me, bad person.

Doesn't make you a bad person. It just makes you what all of us are.

signed,
a sinner

ps, There's forgiveness of sins available for all individuals. For even that dirtbag, Druce, who killed this other dirtbag, Geoghan. For even that dirtbag, Geoghan, who molested over 100 kids. For even the good kid who never said a bad word, who helped old ladies across the street, and who even followed ALL the 10 Commandments.

When a person understands that no person can ever be good enough to earn God's forgiveness or bad enough to earn God's rejection it starts them on a path that might lead them to a transformed life.

For the here and now, however, you're free to be as good or bad as you choose. It's merely a reflection of that which you choose to serve.

Now, before you confuse me with the other folks you attempt to bully, individuals like Druce and Geoghan both deserve punishment by the laws of men modeled after the laws of God. God judges the heart, we can only judge the actions.

I would say the state of Massachusetts is culpable in its failure to execute a convicted murderer named Druce. Now, I might be in favor of Geoghan's execution, but few juries in America execute rapists and/or pedophiles unless they also commit murder or attemped murder at the same time (or some other special circumstance).

Because the state of Massachusetts failed in its moral responsibility to execute Druce, it will most likely be sued, by some group, for its failure to protect one piece of offal from another piece of offal.

I'd say those who support the re-establishment of the death penalty in Massachusetts may garner more support because of this wonderful little morality play....
