Unfortunately, it’s because
1) He’s black
2) He’s accused of killing a cop
3) He lives in Georgia.
It’s basically the trifecta. If any one of those wasn’t true then it would be a different story entirely.
So true! For instance, if he were a white cop-killer rather than s black cop-killer, I somehow doubt Pope Benedict, Archbishop Tutu, Al Sharpton, Harry Belafonte, and Mia Farrow would petition for clemency.
Likewise, if he was from Norway rather than Georgia, he'd been sentenced to 22 years in a luxury prison.
Oh the injustice of it all!
Fallen men naturally despise justice and authority. But meting out capital punishment is one of the functions of human government by God's design.

You know what's funny? Coram Deo talking about killing people and signing off "in Christ."
ReplyDeleteNow that is funny!!
CD was discussing capital punishment. What makes you think that's unchristian?
ReplyDeleteDo you think all types of killing are morally equivalent? If you had to kill a rapist who broke into your home and was threatening your wife at knife-point, do you think that's unchristian?
Do you think at all? Or do you just react and emote?
I don't understand your objection Sean, nor do I see anything "funny" about my comment.
ReplyDeleteI simply made a couple of statements of fact.
In Christ,
