    We Don’t know if he was guilty or not, but he knew that either way his family would be drug through the mud like we all are. Lets not judge to harshly as we are judged .

      No let’s judge him as we are judged. He was a “minister” as well as a parasitic politicians so the world is a better place without him.

      Life is too short and we are being punished everyday of our lives. That scumbag took the coward’s way out as far as I am concerned. Let his family suffer since he caused their suffering and that should be his legacy.

        Lee,

        I understand your frustration, believe me I do. But we can not battle hate and ignorance with hate and ignorance . When I see other people post on news stories of how they want to harm, murder or lock away all sex offenders, it make me fear for the safety of my family and myself, along with all others on the ” hit” list. we must continue to speak out and educate people, not wish harm on them.

    I ask again what are the stats on adult suicides or attempted suicides rather than face this hell we live in. Present that to SCOTUS. I dare them to say this is not punishmen when people would rather die than live like this
