Thank you for sharing that. The very thought of those children having to relive that trauma every day was just too horrifying!

Well he did study at Bob Jones "University" (although they booted him for being a psycho)...

Anyways its to bad that the WBC didn't learn an important lesson about Christian teachings from the Amish children's actions during the shooting, and the Amish community's response to the shootings - a finer example of alturism, and forgiving your enemy I can't think of.

Yes, I completely agree. I couldn't even imagine what that takes to come out and say "I forgive" after something that horrible.

Fundraising update

Pennsylvania and Colorado authorities have been sharing crime scene information, photos and other information since there are similarities between the Amish and Platte Valley situations.
