American Thinker:
I’m a big believer in remorse, repentance, and redemption. This means that people who are genuinely contrite — and who have paid for whatever wrongdoing they did — can be forgiven. The left, which always likes shortcuts for those it characterizes as oppressed, prefers instantly to forgive these downtrodden anti-heroes, no matter how heinous their conduct, without expecting anything from them.
That attitude may explain why Chicago’s Cook County prosecutors gave a pass to Steven Davis in 2019, when he was charged with murder. It was a surprise only to leftists that Davis later murdered another person in cold blood this July, a story that’s now getting reported.
The report illustrates perfectly the wisdom behind Dennis Prager having said over the years, “If you are kind to the cruel, you will be cruel to the kind.” MORE HERE
There is a rather huge difference between forgiveness and prevention of further harm. Forgiveness does not mean release from prison if the perpetrator is dangerous.
Admiral Ackbar should’ve KNOWN: it was a TRAP! 😳
Forgiveness doesn’t absolve one from consequences.

The left is a club of Sociopaths. People with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.
There is no cure for this disorder. No amount of talking or reason will help them. These people are evil and must be removed from our government.
The Qween of Sheetago is confusing Justice and abdolution, justice she can do, absolution she cannot.
Civilized men have known for thousands of years that punished behavior is diminished, unpunished is expanded. The last 100 years lib/progressives have said, “Where are the #’s? Prove it!”.
Dr. BF Skinner documented this 60 years ago with:rats, pigeons, + sometimes monkeys -while at Harvard. – See, I do not hate Ivy Leagers, in general. Just Bush and his acolyte in specific.
Duck Duck – Skinner’s Box
Now only ignorant liberals can HONESTLY SAY “Where are the #’s?”
This may shock you (sarc) – Many lib/progressives are dishonest! As in “I’m a compassionate conservative”
This weirdo has no clue how to lead. Either does LA mayor man-child garcetti.
Instead, they cop out with this liberal tripe.
Forgiveness is often about the person doing the forgiving. Holding on to hate is like drinking acid. It doesn’t harm the person you hate, only you.
Forgiving a penitent is a different thing. In that case the person who is sorry has also stopped drinking the acid that harms them.
Being truly sorry is beautiful when it happens, but it seldom happens in isolation. Often it comes as a bad result for bad behavior, which puts a pause on the behavior that a person can then ponder, and maybe be changed.
Forgiveness can happen right before the needle goes in his arm.
