An Unjust Vengence And The Need To Establish Justice

There was a shooting in a Dandridge Tennessee baseball park where a ten year old child and his peers were playing. Three of his grandparents ended up dead and his father ended up wounded. The police are not saying who did the firing but the article leads me to suspect that the boy’s maternal grandfather who was one of the victims.

Previously to the shooting a drug bust occured that ended with putting the boy’s mother in jail for conspiring to distribute marijuana. The shooter suspected her husband, the father of the boy of turning her in to law enforcement. A divorce and child custody battle were also involved.

The signs are that the boy’s maternal grandfather showed little or no love for his grandson who was left in shock after the incident occurred. Filled with unrighteous vengeance the grandfather ignored the real perpetrator, who was the mother as she chose a path of crime, and went after the one who he thought performed the righteos action of reporting a criminal action to the police.

I am usually against divorce but you can not be yoked to someone who is intent on criminal enterprises as it is neither a secure or happy lifestyle and certainly is not healthy for children or even adults. If the maternal grandfather was the shooter and if he survived I would have considered the death penalty as appropriate as I can see no mitigating circumstances in his crime of hate.
