In yesterday's post, I mentioned how the nation has said Paris is "unforgiving" because we sentenced a child molester to 100 years in prison. I came across another example of how absurd people's thinking on this subject is these days.
A 15-year-old brought a gun to a school activity. When a teacher tried to take it away from him, he assaulted the teacher. This student was already (surprise, surprise!) in alternative school and had been banned from the campus. The student later vandalized the teacher's vehicle to the tune of $2000 in damage.
The teacher says, "If I can't forgive a child for doing something stupid, what kind of man am I? Yes, I forgive him."
By the way, the disciplinarians of the school system forgave him, too. He's back in school. Wonder if they'll forgive him when he guns down a bunch of innocent people?
