He doesn't understand that forgiveness and "turning your life over to Christ" has nothing to do with Guyger not going to jail and receiving her punishment. The bible is full of stories of SEVERE consequences and punishment being issued for transgressions.

I kid. we don't really know, but you may be right.. but if he is misguided on that one item, doesn't mean the rest of his heart and mind isn't fully biblical.
Chung, that 18 year old kid has his faith and his beliefs. I could not forgive someone so quickly if that person killed one of my brothers. I admire him for that. That comes from his faith. A faith that I admit that I don't have. More people should learn from that kid and stop being fucking stupid.

There are way too many emotions involved and look at the victim's family. They are as nice and sympathetic as they come. They are a plaintiff attorney's dream and a defense attorney's nightmare. None of these lawsuits will go to trial because they will be settled before it gets to that point... time will tell if I'm right. I am.

if the Family sues, Brandt Jean better stay the fuck out of it. if he thinks he's getting slammed left and right now, just wait until the word "hypocrite" is applied, along with more choice adjectives.
