As far as Venja Hunte is concerned. His response seemed pretty contrite. Most guilty criminals do not accept responsibility for their own actions.

I agree with KLHJ2 and Lotus on this one. I do not know whether he is honestly contrite or not, but it's not for me to judge. If the people that knew ST are willing to forgive him so am I. All I lost is what ST brought to the field, they lost a son, father, friend, brother, etc. For me, this is a step in the right direction. It's good to see him accept responsibility for his actions even though he wasn't in the home and didn't pull the trigger. Now if the other 4 will do the same...

S/N: KLHJ2, I liked calling you Angry a lot more. I'm going to stick with that, unless you don't want me to.

I changed my name for a reason. Proverbs 29:11 "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control"

In no way am I claiming to be wise, but why confirm being a fool before I even say anything?

Good point, but I feel only someone new would judge someone by his name and not the content of his posts. That's just my opinion anyways. If you don't mind me asking, what does KLHJ2 mean? Just curious.

@Redskinrat: Do we really gotta get all religious up in here? Couldn't you just have pm'd him? Come on man.

I'm not the one proselytizing, was I?

I get pushed, I push back. Each to their own.

Yeah but he didn't single you out, he was just stating his reasoning. If religion isn't being pushed onto someone it's best just to ignore it.

To be fair, scripture were quoted two times in this thread. No need for it to even be brought up. This is about ST's killers and his apology to ST's family. The topic should stay as such.


Let's just move on. I was hoping it would stop. I personally think it's sad that the justice system has taken so long in this ST case.

Your path, not mine.

Fair enough.

I agree with NC, it's pretty pathetic it's taking this long to go to trial. I mean how many more delay tactics is the defense going to get away with?

It is my initials followed by the number two. It provides both truth and anonymity. The 2 is only because KLHJ was already taken when I signed up for my origin account for EA games. I like to keep things uniform.


BTW Redskinrat's comments do not offend me. Having faith is a gift of His grace so that no one can boast. I am only being rejected because they rejected Him first. I was once a doubter and a mocker too. I forgive Redskinrat just as He has forgiven me.


I didn't mean to turn this into a "Religious Thread". We were asked of our opinions on this matter which usually line up with our own ideologies and philosophies. Mine just so happen to align with what the Bible teaches. The use of the quoting of scripture is no different than providing a source for information that backs up our statements. We do this in every thread to support our ideas by using various references. I do not always like the sources that people use to back their arguments (especially Wikipedia), but I am not going to get upset because they used them.

Have they done so? I honestly don't know, so I'm asking in good faith.

If they have, then yes, I agree, everyone else should try to forgive, too.

But if they haven't, then screw him.

Well said.
