She only wishes the best for his family, Jones said. We only have the best regards for his wife and we wish her the best of luck.My sister is a Christian woman and she will find forgiveness in her heart. We cant penalize his family for his actions. We arent ones to judge. We will leave it up to God to do that.
These people have more depth of character and faith than I have. I don't think I could be this charitable and forgiving if my husband had been murdered in cold blood.

So let's just sum all this up:
A. Don Matthews disagreed with how most other people read the Constitution.
B. Therefore Lauren Taylor, 1, will never know her father.
Yeah, that's a just society.

Two kids who will never know their father, and have no memory of him at all...
The problem with these sorts of crackpot philosophies is that you'll always get a few cuckoo-birds who eventually figure out that sitting around writing crackpot letters and filing crackpot liens against the town justice, the dogcatcher, the governor, and the British embassy isn't doing any good, and isn't bringing about their vision of New Jerusalem, or whatever the hell they're aiming for. And so they begin acting more and more provocatively, gradually escalating their confrontations with authority, in hopes of triggering whatever cataclysm they're hoping to see.
And at the end of the day, there's two kids who have no father. Matthews got off easy - he's dead. His problems are over. OTOH, those kids will pay the price for this garbage for the rest of their lives...

My prayers go out to this family. They are obviously very decent people and do not deserve to have to go through this.

To: one_particular_harbour
I agree, and I don't understand why you defend it.
To: Maelstrom
Whose actions do you think were the more justified, Matthews' or the cops?

Sorry wimpycat, I have no idea what transpired. For all I know, the cop told him that his 'poison ideology' was sufficient grounds for the cop to kill him and claim self-defense. OR...Matthews could have sped along that particular stretch of highway specifically so he could murder a cop some miles farther away. I don't see any way to hold an opinion like you can.
I do NOT believe that Mathews killed anyone over a speeding ticket.
OPH:
It's obvious that what you consider a 'poison ideology' is any ideology that would strictly limit the government to it's enumerated powers.
It's an ad hominem attack, and I don't know how you can expect people not to think less of you for it.
