Please stop saying he messed up. This is not about forgiveness. If he would have shot up his victims with heroine or burned cigarettes on their skin or killed them… Would You say he messed up? NO. If you feel that is an extreme comparison then YOU don’t get that he committed a felony… How many kids commit a felony? People treat him like he got too many parking tickets.
And… Stop saying all sin is equal. Different sins require different punishments and restitution. (large millstones verse small ones)<\h4>
