  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Innocent Blood... Not cool!

6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
8 Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord. - Deuteronomy 21

The underlying issue seems to be what to do with mentally ill people. Parents of the perpetrator considered him violent and tried to get him committed, but it was denied. N Carolina, like many places, have over time decreased capacity of mental hospitals and made commitment difficult.

This seems to be a pendulum. At times commitment has been a lot more common. Then we got horror stories of how people were treated in the hospitals, and unjustified commitments. I think things have swung too far in the other direction, and there will likely be a correction.

By that logic, so does Trump:

And another close call:

The only way to eliminate an entire political group is to brainwash the weak to think that this man speaks truth by the power of God. Stay on the narrow path because many are walking the wide road of destruction.

I have said very little about all the other crimes and murders here in the United States. There are a few things particularly creepy in this case...

The murderer was14 times convicted.... and 14 times released..
Nobody came to the poor woman's aid.
The mayor and judge seemed like they really didn't care.
The photos so graphically portraying this horrific crime

It is as if I have felt the guilt of innocent blood just by reading into the story... Not a good feeling!

It is as if I have felt the guilt of innocent blood just by reading into the story of the murder of Iryna Zarutska ... Not a good feeling! To release the guilt of the shedding of innocent blood for me would take grabbing the bible, taking the motorcycle ride to Charlotte, and then beginning to cry against this terrible crime to the city.

When is blood not on the Left leaning's hands. Think abortion alone.
Not saying blood is not on the Right leaning also, but the bigger burden is on the Left.

That poor girl got on the train and sat down.
Then she was killed for no reason.

lol, you guys are only worked up about this because the victim was hot and because your right wing rage bait machine told you to be, which they did because it affords them a convenient means of pointing the finger at Democrats. I'm still waiting for your side to get worked up about either of these similar recent incidents:


But we know that won't happen because in both cases, it was the institutions of a red state that left him on the street.

In this particular case the woman was just sitting there minding her own business.

From your news. This man had a history of mental health issues. I'm not sure how Democrats have blood on their hands. He needed. mental help. So, maybe federal government should put more funding in to mental health.

If nobody else on planet earth feels guilt over this case of the shedding of innocent blood.... There is nothing I can do about... But... I particularly feel for this lady that in this case... She was totally innocent... Not promoting anything that would make anyone angry.

14 murder convictions and he was not in jail?

He served several years. What folks are leaving out is that the bulk of these (maybe all of them; I forget) were over a decade ago... Oh, except for the misdemeanor charge from earlier this year for making a crank call to 911. That one was recent.

I've asked a bunch of times and don't recall anybody actually spelling out for me a theory on when this guy should've been locked up and for how long. Seems like folks are more interested in being angry and pointing fingers than in actually thinking through a solution.

Laying aside party lines... For me just reading into the story makes me feel like I have the guilt of innocent blood on my hands.... Just by reading into the story... Very creepy!
Support ROBUST mental health supports for citizens and vote for people who would pursue it. It's the MOST you can do so solve systemic violence.


oh NOW he's okay with funding the arts.
It's a hot chick.

Come on!

I was going to make a joke about him being sad about the loss of a potential baby mama, but then I saw that Andrew Tate matched his offer and now I'm less sure it's a joke.
