hey everybody,
wow, what an interesting last few days we've had in alabama, with the arsonists being named and everything. i'm really confused by this because my feelings about these guys differ from everyone else's... i mean, i don't feel bad for them at all. yeah, of course their lives are going to change forever, but it's their fault... i mean, maybe this makes me inhumane, but i am fully under the impression that we know the consquences of our actions, and if we do destructive things we deserve to be punished for them. their lives that were so promising should change for the next 20 or so years. you know, it's really sad reading the bios of these guys and seeing how much potential they had and how successful they could have been. and it's sad that people do stupid (and evil) things to ruin that possibility, but i think they deserve the punishment they're going to receive. i don't sympathize with them at all. i do sympathize for their family and friends... and anyone, really, who all three of them fooled into thinking that they were someone else, good-hearted people. they say it started out as a joke, but that's not a joke. joking would be rolling the church or egging it or something. but burning them down? that's not a joke. you know, i'm honestly sick of being made fun of for being a good person.. merely because i really do want to be a good person... and then people feeling sorry for others who perform acts like this. it makes no sense what-so-ever.
but you know, everytime i think about it i just say a little prayer thanking God that they didn't have the blunt audacity to kill anyone.
and i just keep asking God to help me seek the knowledge of how to pray for these kids... you know... give them the decency to realize the evilness of their act... pray for justice to take place in the courts... and just to help them through this, even though that's a really hard thing to actually want. i'm not sure if i do want it yet.
i know this is kind of a pissy entry, but people are just writing about how they feel about the situation so i feel that grants me the right to do the same.
