@AK4WA Amber ... if somebody walked into a supermarket, pulled out a gun and shot up the place, and then, years later, announced his decision to clean up his act and fly straight, would you want to see him put back out onto the street, or left in prison, at the very least?
@AK4WA Those responsible for this series of outrages committed crimes that make those of a mass shooter pale by comparison. There has to be such a thing as accountability.
@AK4WA When somebody can get off the hook for his actions just by saying "I'm sorry," as if it were a mantra, there isn't any.
I'm not going to forgive, forget, or be at all supportive of the idea of showing mercy to those who chose to do wrong in this matter.

@AK4WA There is such a thing as going so far, that there can be no real redemption for one in this life.
@AK4WA When multitudes have been left to die horribly from what would have been treatable conditions, just for the sake of a passing fad, to have chosen to be responsible for that is not something that should be seen as a teachable moment.
@AK4WA At that moment, to borrow an image from your own scriptures, the blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. It must be avenged.
@AK4WA When cancer patients were denied access to treatment, those engaged in that practice (and those encouraging it) knew exactly what they were doing and what its consequences predictably would be.
@AK4WA What I am seeing, as I read words like yours, isn't genuine remorse.
@AK4WA A genuinely remorseful mass murder might very well gladly walk up to the gallows, put the noose around his own neck, and ask to be dropped, knowing that his own death was all that he could offer, in payment for his crimes.
He would not ask to be let back into Society.

@AK4WA The shame that a genuinely remorseful murderer would feel would be so intense, that he would not longer be able to face his fellow man.
For him, death, confinement or exile would be the only bearable options.

@AK4WA When I see somebody saying something like "let's just learn from this, and become better people" what I am seeing is the fear of somebody who realizes that the things she did are no longer in fashion, and is worried that she might be judged for them.
@AK4WA It's not genuine remorse. It's an attempt to evade justice.
