Fair question, lasblank... Yeah, I would be mad and sad... Actaully, I had a good friend murdered when I was about 12 years old... He was 14... It hurt a lot for a 12 year old... But, that was just a neighbor and not like my wife 'er my mother...

Yeah, it would be very hurtfull and, yeah, maybe my initial reaction would be wantin' to just beat the killer to a pulp... Kill him or her??? Not really... Just beat 'um and make them hurt...

But we don't live in a world where the relatives and friends get an opportunity to just flail away on a killer... And that's good 'cause it gives us individually and collectively time to regain that part about us which is civilized and seperates us from the murderers and rapists...

In all honesty, there are certain tests that God puts us thru and in times like these the tests are harder than stoppin' to help someone on the side of the road... These ate like the pop quizes that we haven't prepared to take. These are teats that test our Faityh, our Love in out fellow man, and our Love in God...

I think by this point in life most folks have confronted those "what if" scenerios... I can honetsly say that I don't want any6ones death on my hands... Period... Yeah, let me have 5 minutes with the guy or gal but I ain't gonna kill nobody... Actually, in those five minutes, I might not have to lay a hand on the murderer... Sometimes folks just need to know just how much their actions have hurt other folks...

May not be the answer yer looking for, lesblank, but that's the way I feel...

In killing a peacemaker last night California din't bring back any of his victims, that is if he actaully killed these folks, whcih isn't the issue... No one sprang back to life like after a movie scene... California is just out one peacemaker...

Peace
