Unbelievable! (well, maybe it isn't). There needs to be less forgiveness and more retribution for these attacks, otherwise they'll continue. And, we all know teen is code word for...
Weakness. This crap should be dealt with harshly and simply not tolerated.
I was just reading the other night about Reginald Denny... the truck driver pulled out of the cab of his truck and beaten by savages during the LA Riots... it’s a very similar story. Look on Wikipedia, that’s where I was reading all this, I believe.
Freak accident? Accident must have a different meaning than what I grew up with. The attack was perpetrated by Amish utes, I presume.
well they did it- they beat him senseless...
What a dumbass.
Freak accident? IMHO, some people are just too stupid to live.
I feel bad for what happened to him, but he is living in an alternate universe.
He is now brain damaged and in rehab therapy for years. He is an idiot to forgive them. But is his way of coping with the awful situation he is now in. You have to move above and beyond but I would not forgive. In other cultures you get revenge and this has its pluses.
America is mostly a non-revenge nation full of people fantasizing they are too good and superior for such tawdry actions
And this fruitcake comes with Stockholm syndrome, white guilt and brain damage.
look up Amanda Kijera, the families of Rachael Corrie, Amy Elizabeth Biehl and Nick Berg
That’s how you are suppose to behave
Liberalism is a mental disease and Liberals are a Cancer on the human race
Mathew 6:14. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.....
A warning and command from our Lord and Savior.....
I was beaten by 8 gang members in LA. An unknown Good Samaritan with a handgun scared them away before they finished me off. When that happens, you crap your pants because you are about to die.
Fortunately, I got their license plate numbers and the LAPD rounded up 5 of them. That was when the intimidation began 24x7. It is scary and discourages you from pressing charges.
I dropped the charges when the pre-trial intake judge told me they would likely get suspended sentences. I circled the date 5 years in the future to take my revenge when nobody would make the connection back to the beating.
Forgiveness is the only way this man will ever get over what happened to him and I hope that for his peace of mind he has forgiven his attackers. That said, it is not for the rest of us (society) to forgive and those thugs should be swinging from streetlamps.
That’s quite a dent in the side of his head. The ability to think logically has been damaged beyond repair.
I wonder if this is the guy Greta van Susteren mentioned....he said if he could meet his attackers, he would thank them for not killing him.
People wonder why Western Civilization is on the decline? We used to go on Crusades....now our men curl up like worms and beg for more punishment.
‘That was just a freak accident,’ Widstrand, who is now 27, told the Star Tribune. ‘It was just young kids lashing out. I was a young kid once. I lashed out.’
In an unrelated note, the CDC has announced an outbreak of stupidity in the state of Minnesota. The CDC hinted that the infestation may have been caused by Progressives traveling from Chicago to attend queer festivals in Minneapolis-St Paul.
I totally agree. Christians don’t understand ‘forgiveness’ I find. We are not God we can’t really ‘forgive them. Only God can forgive them. It is good for us to let go of our hatred, but they have to repent to find peace. And usually that means suffering of some sort. I know it did for me on various occasions...
Exactly!
Poor thing is missing a good portion of his brain.
