YOU KNOW ITS FUNNY HOW WE CAN'T SEE THAT THIS YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT AND IS STILL GOING THROUGH IT.  HOW MANY OF YOU THAT ARE POSTING THESE COMMENTS CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT YOU HAVE NEVER TAKEN A DRINK OR EVEN DROVE DRUNK.  MANY OF YOU HAVE JUST NOT GOT CAUGHT BUT IT STILL DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT BECAUSE YOU MADE A MISTAKE.  IT'S NO ONE ON EARTH THAT IS PERFECT.  I DO BELIEVE IF WE HAD A OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT ALL OF YOU INCLUDING THE PERSON THAT WROTE THIS ARTICLE YOU ALL HAVE SKELTONS IN YOUR CLOSET.  I SAID THAT TO SAY THIS, WHY PUNISH THIS MAN THE REST OF HIS LIFE FOR A MISTAKE THAT HE MADE AND HE CONFESS TO.  WE ALL ARE SET ON THIS EARTH WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL LEAVE HERE ONEDAY.  WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW?  I'M A STRONG BELIEVER THAT ALL THIS HAPPEN FOR A REASON AND IT'S NOT FOR ANY OF US TO JUDGE OR PASS BLAME.  WE ARE NOT GOD.  YOU MUST ALLOW GOD TO HANDLE THIS AND I DO BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS FORGIVEN LEONARD LITTLE OF THIS TRADGEDY AND PRAY FOR ALL OF YOUR SAKES THAT YOU DO THE SAME.  WE ALL HAVE A HIGHER POWER TO ANSWER TO AND KNOW MATTER HOW MUCH WE HATE IT WE CAN NOT PLAY GOD.  THIS HAPPEN OVER 10 YEARS AGO AND MOST OF YOU ARE STILL HOLDING ON TO ALOT OF HATERED AND BITTERNESS THAT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO.  IF YOU NOT A BELIEVER AND YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GOD GRACE AND MERCY THEN I WOULDN'T EXPECT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS MESSAGE OF FORGIVENESS HOWEVER IF YOU ARE BELIEVER ... I ONLY ASK MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.  BE VERY MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU SAY OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS...EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY GOES INTO THE UNIVERSE.  NOW INSTEAD OF HATE, TRY LOVE AND SHOW FORGIVENESS.  YOU WILL INDEED BE BLESS FOR IT.  MAY GOD BLESS AND TOUCH EVERYONE THAT HAVE NOT REACH THAT PART IN LIFE THAT THEY CAN FORGIVE.

Having never been through anything like that it's easy to throw out those kind of statements. However, ...
