I stand corrected about no arrests any time soon. Arrests this morning. Gang members.

Me too, Geek. Just yesterday I said I didn't see LE doing diddly squat. Guess I was wrong. ABB

Only one "we" them lots of "I's"


Amanda’s husband and family released the following statement Monday morning:

Though it does not undo the pain we are feeling, I was extremely relieved to get the news of the arrest made last night of Amanda’s killer. The investigators have assured me they have a solidly-built case to ensure justice is levied and the process is expedited. The family and I couldn’t be more thankful for the level of compassion and professionalism the IMPD and investigators have shown us through the last couple of weeks. My hope is for 3 things in the weeks and months to come:

(1) That the court system would have wisdom on how to prosecute this man, so that no one else endures the pain Amanda and our family have had to endure because of his actions.

(2) That through all of this and although there will be great consequences for his actions, he would become truly sorry for what he has done and would even begin to experience the life-transforming power of the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ.

(3) That Jesus would give me and our family a heart of forgiveness.

Though everything inside of me wants to hate, be angry, and slip into despair I choose the route of forgiveness, grace and hope. If there is one thing I’ve learned from Amanda in the 10 years we were together, it’s this: Choosing to let my emotions drive my decisions is recipe for a hopeless and fruitless life. Today I am deciding to love, not hate. Today I am deciding to extend forgiveness, not bitterness. Today I am deciding to hope, not despair. By Jesus’ power at work within us, the best is STILL yet to come. Even when I don’t see it, I believe it to be true.

He has clearly been coached; either that or his statement was written by someone else. In any case, let's say he had help with it. ABB

Sounds like the statement of the man who lost his wife in the terrorist attacks in France - how bout it

What happened to the "we"? "we" turned into ""I" was extremely relieved to get the news..."

Hmmmm

Also- While I may understand that he was not saddened by his wife's murder- why was he not frightened for his son or himself until the suspects were caught?
