Clearly the tapers are without common decency and will excuse the suicide as nothing to do with them.

I don’t trust our legal system to administer justice.
Take it from an old lady, when I was young I was callous to the consequences of things I did to myself or others, as well as tragedies I observed. With the years, life becomes more personal, more precious and those past events and memories are sharper, and more stinging than when they occurred.

Our school systems have dwelt on the acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle beginning in kindergarten.

I simply cannot comprehend violating someone else’s privacy, their space, for any nefarious reason.

Their actions were meant to hurt.

It chills me to my core.

Molly Wei of Rutgers, the co-conspirator:

She looks like such a sweet young thing.

Her parents must be so proud.

I'm living that down myself, and not even out of my forties. It sickens me sometimes, how cruel I've been. Especially when I was so certain I was right. Usually was, too, a small consolation in an ugly aftermath. I try to be mindful of forgiveness when confronting sin now, asking it for my own past and present, and giving it to others. The things that have tumbled out of my mouth, and the harm I've caused when trying to help. Lord knows I meant well at the time. I'm living and learning, and it ain't pretty looking back at times.
