Davo and Steeda...
All this post was about was an ask for prayer, not a DARE lesson. However, you two are very much correct. These last two nights have been difficult as all hell. It's very hard to feel bad when the pain indurred was self inflicted. He is lucky it was only him that was involved, and nothing/no one else. If he HAD killed someone.. say my girlfriend, one of you, myself..I don't know what I would think at that point. So, I do feel and understand your guys' comments.
But, at the same time, regardless of the act commited, ParkedCar and others are very much correct. No one deserves to suffer... regardless of the choice that was made. Can he reverse time? No, but I wish he could. If your child or friend shop lifted, do you hate them for ever? If they stole a car... do you never trust them? If they had a drink one night and wrecked their car... do you fault them forever? As this is more a post about ethics and beliefs, the bible speaks of no one to suffer. The actions he commited two nights ago are at the mercy of court...and his life. He is paying dearly for an uneducated choice he made and would appreciate comments of "He deserves it" to be held under your breath at this point until word of improvved condition is heard. NO ONE deserves to die, not when you are 29. When and if he gets better and deals with the legalities of this choice, you guys can post all you like about what he deserves (I will probably side with you, then.)
Again, those of you who belive in miracles and prayer, please give Scott your support.
