[William Terrell]

God takes those whose time has come, particularly when they die from such a chain of causal events. The state's purview is malum in se offenses; it's God's purview to deal with what's in the hearts of those who perish, and those who start the chain of events leading to that point, concerning malum prohibitum offenses. I do not believe you are privy to God's purposes. Therefore, your counsel is marbled with as many flaws as any other.

God defines "unnecessarily", not you.

My condolences on the lose of your two friends, but notice that emotional reaction has affected your objective evaluation of conditions affecting the foundations upon which this nation was founded.

You must be on guard against being easily led. Your opinions have been conditioned rather than arrived at as a inevitable conclusion from serious consideration and analysis of objective evidence.

I trust then that when someone kills a close relative of yours through malice or stupidity you'll shrug it off as the end result of an unforseen chain of random events, easily forgiven.

If not, then you'll wake up and see truth as it is, not as you wish it to be. Things happen for a reason, and evil has consequences for which the doer of evil has responsibility, to a greater or less extent.

Determining that extent is why we have courts. And cops. They don't work perfectly, but we need them nonetheless.
