Utah. Land of the mormans. Land of the temple, not to be mistaken with Disneyland. I try not to offend. But... I'm gonna. So if you are easily offended stop reading now. There really is no need to subject yourself to something you know will offend you.
Around the 24th of July, our State's biggest holiday there was a trajic "accident". A 52 year old man was experiementing with "fireworks" and a 10 year old boy was hit with shrapnel and is currently in a medical induced coma. The boy will never heal fully, he will always have to walk with a cane, that is if he doesn't lose his leg.
As you notice, I said "accident" and "fireworks". I actually don't believe this is a true accident. Now, I am not saying that this man set out with a purpose of hurting the child, but... come on. This was not accidental. This was negligence. This man knew what he was doing. He knew the inhert risk associated with his homemade "firework" (actually described by police and ATF as a IED).
What makes me sick, I mean what really turns my key.... "He's asked for forgiveness, it was an accident". This is what people here are saying. People that, no doubt, belong to the same religion as he does. A religon that believes that once a person has asked for forgiveness or has repented that it is in god's hands and not those of the law. This is the same religion that has protected child abusers because they "were sorry". The same religion that will stand up for their own but are quickest to persecute others.
And people wonder why I don't like religion anymore?
