Well, legally, the jury can render the verdict it sees fit. Legally, they believed that mitigating factors outweighed the aggravating ones. I wanted Cruz to get the death penalty. However, legally, the verdict was 100% valid.
there was a juror who didn't believe in death. I know there was. who was it ? the Supreme Court should sentence him to death like he did those 17 children.
Misery loves company. Every day you are eating, living, and getting help from your common law judiciary, the piles of trash you voted to export onto other countries put people, even children at risk of death. For nothing except it makes your living cheaper to not include the costs on the US GDP. Some people hunt to eat, some people hunt for sport. Jurors, are much more the latter. The LEGISLATION is that spreading this democracy and jury system and these little sparks of joy with it, is a US prerogative, so, have fun feeling about it morally however you please. Perhaps if you'll take cues form Rwanda you could 'vote' for better jurors as well, and be super extra democratic by bringing that firepower into your own neighborhood for once.

Let me get this straight...Cruz gleefully described what happened to Peter's body after he shot him and it isn't enough for the death penalty? He has zero remorse for what he did. I am so sorry to every family. You were let down.
She is Peter Wang's cousin. Her aunt is Wang's mother. She is speaking for Wang's mother who doesn't speak English. (The mother did appear with Wang's cousin on the witness stand during the trial however.) Wang was killed on the eve before Chinese New Year. It is a very important day in Chinese culture where family members travel to get together to celebrate and close out the year. The family had to cancel their Chinese New Year's Eve celebration. In Western culture, it is the equivalent of a death on the eve before Christmas and canceling Christmas celebrations altogether. From this day forward, the eve before Chinese New Year will always be a reminder of her son's murder and any plans to celebrate Chinese New Year will be cancelled.
Not to mention the horrific detail the murderer nonchalantly described of Peter’s death. I hope no one ever translated that part to his mother. How can there ever be an end to that kind of pain?
My condolences to the Wang family. We are all sorry your aunt did not get the verdict we were all waiting for. We spiritually are all with her. The fact the media ignored her (Peter Wangs Cousin) and didn’t bother to ask her any questions like they did with everyone else disgust me. We are all with you today Parkland. The fight is not over.

The taxpayer saves money with alive prison labor, not with death row, so your base value there, is well covered. And also by labor of people like foreign children harvesting you chocolate, in thanks to getting "democratized" and not much else. So who knows, they might have their OWN jury duty, and their own disappointment that prisoners in prison don't have it any worse than the ones outside. Keep that in mind while you deploy military heroes that cost you hundreds of dollars a day while the prisons make profit, not losses, and when you thank them for dying but not without taking others with them.

You act like the death penalty actually does something. Even if he gets the death penalty, he’d still be sitting in jail for decades before they carry out the execution. Get your facts right.

I felt her to my core. And when she said “my aunt is dying”… I completely understood that. Her aunt is dying of despair and sadness. What Nikolas Cruz did is haunting and disturbing.

Whoever those jurors are that couldn’t bring themselves to hand out a death penalty did nothing but cause more pain to the families. Knowing while their kids lives were robbed, this guy is eating, sleeping and watching tv in a prison somewhere, being taken care of.
The foreman washed his hands of the mess. He made it clear that he and several other jurors voted 🗳 for death but there was at least one holdout. Say what you will about the conduct and attitude of this individual’s defense team but they were shockingly successful at keeping their client from receiving the much deserved death 💀 penalty.
Raw and unfiltered anguish😥 is felt by many. Our hearts go out to these families. As someone already pointed out, Karma will take care of the jurors. Who will care for these grieving families and families whose children took their own lives because of the horror they had witnessed. Prison life will take care of the monster to be sure.
@@Lotsielots If you use these excuses, where was the insanity plea? Did he need to shoot the entire student body dead to qualify for the death penalty?

Her anger is completely justified here. I don't know what it feels like to suffer this sort of loss, and I hope I never do, but I can't blame her for feeling like the system failed her family entirely.
Mental health is a serious issue those suffering from it deserve help. That being said, 99.999% of those with mental illness don’t shoot up schools. The jury got this one wrong. My heart breaks for the victims families
Hearing her speak reminds me of the feelings I myself have felt. The hardest part is the public forgetting then family judging you when it changes who you are. Praying for all affected
This woman is very right!! This just sets a precedence for future killers. Our justice system isn’t working. I am so hurt for these families and the future families of this kind of school violence. This is another punch to the gut for these poor families.
Raw and powerful. Bless you and condolences for your loss . If this was not a death sentence case, then what is? Outrageous this animal gets life when he handed out death sentences for so many innocent people.
Ug my heart bleeds for all the families. So unfair. I agree 💯 with everything this woman is saying and commend her bravery and continuing to fight stick up for all the victims. He killed 17 innocent kids like how does that not call for death penalty? So screwed up
It goes to show,things like this can get away with murder.What has it contributed to society,only anguish,fear and anger. Anywhere in this part of the U.S. it get a death sentence. So much for the victims relatives. That lady spoke the truth. A jury with no sympathy.👼🙏👼RIP.

Are you f’ing serious right now? Life without parole, especially for a crime like this *is* justice. Not to mention even if he got the DP, it gets dragged on for years with appeals and hearings. It’s also much more expensive
Feel so sorry for these families and what happened today. My prayers to them all. I hope that monster meets his maker very, very soon by someone offing him in prison.
I don't think this has anything to do with politics. It only takes one Juror to weigh the mitigating factors in favor over the aggravating factors. Putting someone to death can't be an easy decision. Guess ppl underestimate the weight and burden that comes with that. I completely understand the parents, but attacking the jury isn't OK either in my opinion.
@@808Fee I’m not “attacking” the jurors at all. Taking a life shouldn’t be an easy decision. That animal decided to take the lives, hope and safety from thousands if not more people. Upwards of four students committed suicide from that school since that attack. He’s STILL taking lives. How is it that we can tolerate this behavior? How long before this directly happens to you or your loved ones? What will you do to protect the ones you love? Send them to school with a nut free sandwich and bullet proof vest?
@@RoxYgen03 I'm sorry, I totally misunderstand your comment. You are referring to politics regarding accessibility to guns etc. I was talking about the verdict itself.

I agree with you that we need to keep children safe. Nobody deserves to fear going to school in the morning.
@@RoxYgen03 to protect the ones you love, how about starting with building a safe and compassionate community, rather than your mentality, which is clearly bloodthirsty, violent and only encouraging more crime.
We are not all with her... Stop speaking for the public. A lot of the public are happy with a life sentenced. So speak for yourself, and not for others. You do not represent every public opinion.
Anyone remember the video of Nikolas Cruz assaulting a correctional officer in prison? How many more times is Nicolas Cruz going to assault a CO now that he’s spending life in prison? I believe in Mercy but there is also a time for Justice and this was an obvious time for Justice.
100%. Don’t let the injustice of the sentence, which was perpetrated by a single juror, destroy you and steal your life. Hopefully, the desired sentence will be carried out by another inmate. The state doesn’t provide justice or fairness.
Yes, the court decision did provide justice... What you want is just bloodthirsty revenge.... You have the same mentality as the killer. Its disgusting.
Wow she is brave and on point .. The American Justice system failed all those that lost there lives at the mercy of this animal .. Shame on that jury !!
Heartbreaking. There’s no justice for the innocent. The criminals are protected over police, innocent civilians, hard working tax payers. This woman is so right! There’s no justice for the innocent
You got that right. And I'll add another piece of truth to that. There is no Great All-loving Wizard Of The Skies protecting the good and the innocent. The Sky Wizard does not exist.

🎯
Truth!!!
Yeah the same society that wants to murder this kid to teach everyone that murder is wrong. 🤦♀️
Yeah, everybody’s too damn liberal! They probably got one liberal juror that held out on the death penalty! Shameful! All this does is send a message that you can go murder dozens of people and you’re gonna get a free ride for life.
He most definitely is mentally ill
She posed the most authentic question."Where is the victims families court room"..so sadd but she spoke well. This is heartbreak all over again.
Thats not how the court system works. You seem to be talking about mob mentality... The court system isn't there to be used for revenge.
People who sell drugs to other adults in agreement. Get the same sentence as Cruz. There is no victims and in the eyes of the State of FL they are the same.
YES!!! He did have a smirk on his face! He was freaking gleeful!!! The attorneys had to keep reminding him to not act to happy! He got to relive the pain he caused again today.
This is NOT justice!!!
Yeah, he probably thought he actually got away with killing people
The raw emotion is palpable... wow my heart hurts for these people. I pray they find the peace they need even if it's not through that monster's death.
I can’t believe it. I stand behind the victims and their families. And killer is protected?!?!?
He's going to be a walking target the minute he steps through the door.
@@tele68 he’s been in jail this whole time. If that statement were true, he’d be dead already.
@@notdave2993 That was before the verdict. Inmates probably assumed the state would do the dirty work.
He's going to a place with like-minded sociopaths. They will probably give him a high five for attacking that "pig" at the jail and he will make friends with many other murderers and rapists.
@@notdave2993 He's been in protective custody in a detention center (jail), when he is sentenced he will go to a penitentiary (prison) where there is no protective custody and he will then wish he were dead for the rest of his, what will likely be a short life.
Well said. You can hear and feel her and other parents and families of the murdered children's frustration.
I did not know there were 4 suicides. This is just too much. God bless the Wang family and all the other Parkland families.
I didn’t know about the suicides either. Lord help us. I agree that this verdict sends out the wrong message. My condolences 💐 to the bereaved families and friends.
Heartbreaking. Utterly heartbreaking. Justice has failed the victims, the family and friends of the victims and, frankly, the entire community.
Heartbreaking
If he doesn’t warrant the death penalty then idk who does.
Then learn the law
@@liveandletlive9333 you know nothing about me, self insert Andy
You act like the death penalty actually does something. Even if he gets the death penalty, he’d still be sitting in jail for decades before they carry out the execution. Get your facts right.
Someone trespassing in the Capitol Building on January 6th, I'm sure.
Charles Manson killed no one and got the death penalty (I understand it was overturned) this animal kills 15 kids 2 teachers and attempted to kill 17 more and only left because “there was no one left to kill” doesn’t get the death penalty? Yeah that makes sense
I felt her to my core. And when she said “my aunt is dying”… I completely understood that. Her aunt is dying of despair and sadness. What Nikolas Cruz did is haunting and disturbing. We should house all serial killers in a private island and let them hunt each other. Like the hunger games. Predators agains predators.
She is Peter Wang's cousin. Her aunt is Wang's mother. She is speaking for Wang's mother who doesn't speak English. (The mother did appear with Wang's cousin on the witness stand during the trial however.) Wang was killed on the eve before Chinese New Year. It is a very important day in Chinese culture where family members travel to get together to celebrate and close out the year. The family had to cancel their Chinese New Year's Eve celebration. In Western culture, it is the equivalent of a death on the eve before Christmas and canceling Christmas celebrations altogether. From this day forward, the eve before Chinese New Year will always be a reminder of her son's murder and any plans to celebrate Chinese New Year will be cancelled.
That’s actually a good idea lol
Lol I think that will deter most of them!
This made me literally sick to my stomach. What an injustice. Placing more value on the life of this murdering monster than these victims whose lives he took.
I'm sick over this
I think you need to learn to process your emotions...
@@jkjkjkkjkjk this makes no sense
@@SunflowerJuliet it makes you sick to your stomach when someone is NOT going to be killed.... I think you need to evaluate and process your emotions in a more healthy way... How does that not make sense to you? Maybe see a therapist...?
@@jkjkjkkjkjk Rather then telling someone what they should feel or what they should do, I would highly recommend reading a situation before commenting on someone else sharing their reaction to this news. That was completely inappropriate and unnecessary.
@@pvrmo_ Rather than talking nonsense, I would highly recommend you do the basics of actually reading the comments you are responding to..... So which sentence exactly did I tell someone what they should feel..?... Hmm? C'mon, quote me where u think I told someone what to feel..... You can't because you've made it up... You are a joke....
All I did was recommend they see a therapist and process their emotions in a healthy way.... What they feel or think during that process is up to them....
It's pretty basic, standard recommendation... A pretty banal and universal recommendation.... unless you think people should not see therapists..?... or you think people should process their emotions in an unhealthy way..?...
Is that it, is that your recommendation?.... You're a clown. You can clearly see I said no such thing as telling someone what to think... Once again, I'd recommend at the least, you actually read comments, or you come of looking quite the fool...
So heartbreaking. My God these poor families. There are no words...
My soul is crying. Keep fighting for the kids love.
Whoever those jurors are that couldn’t bring themselves to hand out a death penalty did nothing but cause more pain to the families. Knowing while their kids lives were robbed, this guy is eating, sleeping and watching tv in a prison somewhere, being taken care of.
The foreman washed his hands of the mess. He made it clear that he and several other jurors voted 🗳 for death but there was at least one holdout. Say what you will about the conduct and attitude of this individual’s defense team but they were shockingly successful at keeping their client from receiving the much deserved death 💀 penalty.
what you expect??? Our world today is softer than bubblegum...
Raw and unfiltered anguish😥 is felt by many. Our hearts go out to these families. As someone already pointed out, Karma will take care of the jurors. Who will care for these grieving families and families whose children took their own lives because of the horror they had witnessed. Prison life will take care of the monster to be sure.
@@Sb-sz3cn karma can find you too
@@Sb-sz3cn I’m an EDP445 supporter and I’ll clap your cheeks
@@rickjames5530 It has.
@@Lotsielots If you use these excuses, where was the insanity plea? Did he need to shoot the entire student body dead to qualify for the death penalty?
@@Lotsielots oh bull. He's just a bad seed and this was all his fault
Thank you ONE JUROR for sparing such a wonderful Human being and giving us the joy of paying for his meals, healthcare and housing for the rest of his life!
I hope that juror never appears in court again for jury duty again. Disgusting!
My heart aches for them so much. She is absolutely correct and we share her outrage. What about the kids that died by suicide???
Their families can sue (if they are able to afford to sue) wrongful death maybe? I'm not sure how that works. Pain and suffering damages?
Peter was a hero. Look up his story. Rip.
Peter was a true hero. Proud to have him in our community. RIP, Peter. You will be remembered.
Props to her she stated raw facts in a raw way.
If this didnt warrant death penalty … there is no justice in the system.
@@Lotsielots this woman looks pretty tortured to me.
@@Lotsielots the murderer killed more than one person, Id say that would be past the point of redemption. Stop finding excuses for criminals, and start thinking about the victims, both dead, and the families they left behind. Sickens me to think anyone could defend this murderous act….
@@Lotsielots you sound absolutely stupid and ignorant if you think killed 20 kids is not deserving of death you’re sick
@@Lotsielots So laying on the floor shot but not dead, and hoping to God that someone comes to help you and hopefully saves your life- then watching this killer see you are still alive. You can not run. There is no where to hide. You are forced to lay there. Your are slowly dying but hoping to live. Then you see him raise his gun to shoot you again. Taking away any hope that you might live is not torture? How is it not torture? How can you not think that is torture?
This is so devastating. These families have been struck AGAIN, by this verdict.
And, this will NOT deter future school shooters.
Life in prison is justice
As if the death penalty deters shooters
So brave. These families. It's absolutely astounding. We need justice.
Um, it is justice though
He’s forever locked up, it’s not like he walked free like OJ or Emmitt Till’s killers
Terrible injustice! If the murders of 17 innocent people doesn't qualify for the death penalty - I can't think of any murders that would.
I am appalled by this! And, I'm ashamed of our judicial system.
Exactly, so abolish the death penalty, like so many other states and countries already have.
@@jkjkjkkjkjk nah, we will keep it for when your trial comes around. You seem to be a huge fan of mass murderers, Cruz can relate.
@@jaqenhghar6244 hahaha, you are the one endorsing murder... You clearly have murder on the mind... I'm the one trying to encourage less murder... YOU want to kill Cruz... By definition YOU want to murder... The fact you don't realise how much of a hypocrite you are, shows you must have a learning disability of some sort. You are just like Cruz... Happy to dish out murder when YOU feel justified.... Exactly what Cruz did....
I’m sending you hugs all the victims and their families
These friends and families will never have closure now. I feel her pain and frustration. 😪
I feel your anger and agree
Jury needs to know that blood of victims and their families will on the hands.
Kudos to you for saying what a great deal of people feel!!
I feel bad for the victims! This is unacceptable
Words cannot describe how upset I am with this decision. I can only imagine what the victim’s families are feeling.
That one juror who was a hard no should be ashamed of herself
She is probably Christian.
Bet if it was his/her kid they'd be singing a different tune
that one juror was the only sensible one
@@Acolis no
No she should rejoice knowing it's not an eye for an eye in the US.
My heart go out to this mother
If that holdout juror’s name ever gets leaked, they’re gonna become one of the most hated people in the state.
If that happened it would compromise the legal system more than it already is. That would add intimidation to the judicial decision making.
That juror's name has already been reported
He is so hated I don't think he will last 1 year in Prison.
Speak your truth woman. Her words carry so much emotion. Shame shame shame on the conclusion of this trial. Absolutely heartbreaking
I have no words only tears.
I love her passion, my heart goes out to them all
Her anger is completely justified here. I don't know what it feels like to suffer this sort of loss, and I hope I never do, but I can't blame her for feeling like the system failed her family entirely.
She's absolutely correct.
Justice was not served.
This is insane.
RIP Peter. You are a hero.
I feel this lady. A death penalty would have sent shock waves to the future shooters watching this trial. Total justice failure.
Most shooters kill themselves or die fighting cops, I'm sure giving them the death penalty would have done nothing
Agree👍
Not really
These shootings will continue to happen until we address the root cause
In her words, you can feel the pain that Hope is dying. This is painfully injustice
Bruh...he's in prison forever...what else do they want??? killing him isn't going to bring back their loved ones
Besides...DP is an easy way out!!! 😬😬😬🔥
Mental health is a serious issue those suffering from it deserve help. That being said, 99.999% of those with mental illness don’t shoot up schools. The jury got this one wrong. My heart breaks for the victims families
Hearing her speak reminds me of the feelings I myself have felt. The hardest part is the public forgetting then family judging you when it changes who you are.
Praying for all affected
This woman is very right!! This just sets a precedence for future killers. Our justice system isn’t working. I am so hurt for these families and the future families of this kind of school violence. This is another punch to the gut for these poor families.
You have no idea how killers minds works.... Your full of nonsense, so stop pretending you have any idea and say such garbage about precedence..
how many more lives do we have to lose in order to stop this madness.? this is unacceptable.
So so sorry for these folks.
Raw and powerful. Bless you and condolences for your loss . If this was not a death sentence case, then what is? Outrageous this animal gets life when he handed out death sentences for so many innocent people.
Glad she stood up for the victims. She is right.
Ug my heart bleeds for all the families. So unfair. I agree 💯 with everything this woman is saying and commend her bravery and continuing to fight stick up for all the victims. He killed 17 innocent kids like how does that not call for death penalty? So screwed up
And killed 2 more who committed suicide because of his actions
@@AngelikaBtk It’s sickening something needs to be done
This is insane
she said that and i read ur comment

It goes to show,things like this can get away with murder.What has it contributed to society,only anguish,fear and anger. Anywhere in this part of the U.S. it get a death sentence. So much for the victims relatives. That lady spoke the truth. A jury with no sympathy.👼🙏👼RIP.
Welcome to the USA 2022
There is NO true justice in this world. None.
@@Momo-po5tn momo could not agree more in this case justice would have been as soon as he pled guilty take him out front of the courthouse in front of the world and put a bullet in his head, no interviews, no reporters, no headlines, no talk shows, and if a family member wants to do the honor let him, see then the next goon sitting in his bedroom mad at the world, mom, dad, brother, sister, girlfriend, no girlfriend, boss, manager, TEACHERS, jocks, sees that when it’s over they just kill you ….like a wild animal…💥 goodbye
And justice is killing him like he killed?
This needs to be aired everywhere in the states! The system needs revamped.
There are many states that have abolished the death penalty... Not everyone is on your side you know.
Thinking of Peter and the entire Wang family today. My heart is breaking today with them.
Really thought it would end with a death penalty my heart breaks for the families
Meanwhile people who kill 1 person get the death penalty. Not saying thats right but it's unfair that they do, and this guy didn't.
Oh my heart breaks for her and her family. She’s so right.. so many victims other than the 34. Where’s their trial? I can feel her pain and anger. Oh God have mercy on her and her family😢
The "justice system" never fails to disappoint.
Life in prison sounds like justice to me!!!!
@@papasmurf555 I wonder if the families of all those victims share your belief? Especially after he made it clear he enjoyed taking their most precious people and making them suffer. You can spam your opinion in the comments all you want to. Doesn't make you or the jury right. Nobody should be forced to pay to keep this monster alive. He's got zero remorse and will likely continue attacking people in prison like he did that guard.
There is no justice in this decision. And honestly you won't be changing my mind, so go explain your stance to the victims families, and then have a good day.
@@ticklemebreathless1394 AHEM!!!

Preach. We’re all with you!
No you are with her.

Don't speak for everyone, speak for yourself. You are not the voice of public opinion. Many people think life is adequate punishment. So speak for yourself from now on.
@@jkjkjkkjkjk nobody is speaking for you, nobody knows you, she is entitled to her opinion and from what I’ve read it’s about 98% in favor of killing that animal to just 2% of the rest of the soft weenies who thinks that pig deserves air, I guess we know what side your on don’t we weenie? Go back to sleep dummy

Are you f’ing serious right now?
Life without parole, especially for a crime like this *is* justice.
Not to mention even if he got the DP, it gets dragged on for years with appeals and hearings.
It’s also much more expensive
Society has disintegrated. I'm a retired police lieutenant. I support these families.
as for the victims of the suicides she mentions, can their families sue for wrongful death, pain and suffering? Im not sure
You are part of that disintegration of society. Your views are helping that disintegration.

You’re sick. You want blood.
@@romeoelopez24 its not blood I want. Its called JUSTICE!
Thank you for not bleeping. Keep it real
This is absolutely awful.
This is atrocious. Politics have overcome morality. THIS HAS TO STOP.
I don't think this has anything to do with politics. It only takes one Juror to weigh the mitigating factors in favor over the aggravating factors. Putting someone to death can't be an easy decision. Guess ppl underestimate the weight and burden that comes with that. I completely understand the parents, but attacking the jury isn't OK either in my opinion.
@@808Fee I’m not “attacking” the jurors at all. Taking a life shouldn’t be an easy decision. That animal decided to take the lives, hope and safety from thousands if not more people. Upwards of four students committed suicide from that school since that attack. He’s STILL taking lives. How is it that we can tolerate this behavior? How long before this directly happens to you or your loved ones? What will you do to protect the ones you love? Send them to school with a nut free sandwich and bullet proof vest?
@@RoxYgen03 I'm sorry, I totally misunderstand your comment. You are referring to politics regarding accessibility to guns etc. I was talking about the verdict itself. DP is just not an effective deterrent to those with either mental illness or severe personality disorders. A true psychopath most likely doesn't care about the consequences. I agree with you that we need to keep children safe. Nobody deserves to fear going to school in the morning.
You don't get to decide morality for all people. Thats called a dictatorship. The process happened. The right decision has been made. Deal with it.
@@RoxYgen03 to protect the ones you love, how about starting with building a safe and compassionate community, rather than your mentality, which is clearly bloodthirsty, violent and only encouraging more crime.
She said it exactly like it is without sugarcoating. We are all with you. I hope that monster gets jail justice.
We are not all with her... Stop speaking for the public. A lot of the public are happy with a life sentenced. So speak for yourself, and not for others. You do not represent every public opinion.
Well said👏🏻 So sorry for all your pain.
100% agree it’s insane! Let someone show him his fate in jail! NOW!!!!!
Your mentality is just as bad as the murderer.
She’s was the only one who brought up the important issue of those who kill themselves due to survivor’s guilt
Anyone remember the video of Nikolas Cruz assaulting a correctional officer in prison? How many more times is Nicolas Cruz going to assault a CO now that he’s spending life in prison? I believe in Mercy but there is also a time for Justice and this was an obvious time for Justice.
He was already spending life in prison. This trial was a waste even if he did get the death penalty he'd spend life on death row.
100%. Don’t let the injustice of the sentence, which was perpetrated by a single juror, destroy you and steal your life. Hopefully, the desired sentence will be carried out by another inmate. The state doesn’t provide justice or fairness.
Yes, the court decision did provide justice... What you want is just bloodthirsty revenge.... You have the same mentality as the killer. Its disgusting.
Wow she is brave and on point .. The American Justice system failed all those that lost there lives at the mercy of this animal .. Shame on that jury !!
Death won't do jack sh* to end their suffering
We are with you Miss. You are TOTALY CORRECT. SHARE
Her words are powerful. I hope she is heard. This is INSANE. I agree with her. Those kids who killed themselves deserve justice as well.
My heart is breaking for these families 😢
Heartbreaking. There’s no justice for the innocent. The criminals are protected over police, innocent civilians, hard working tax payers. This woman is so right! There’s no justice for the innocent
You got that right. And I'll add another piece of truth to that. There is no Great All-loving Wizard Of The Skies protecting the good and the innocent. The Sky Wizard does not exist. It's all random and karma and justice are as random as injustice and no-karma. It's a world of good and bad, randomly mixing all the time.
