🇸🇻 BUKELE: GOD CAN FORGIVE CRIMINALS. THE STATE STILL HAS TO LOCK THEM UP
Bukele did the thing nobody does anymore. He drew a line and didn't apologize for it.
"I believe God can forgive everyone.
If the criminal repents, he will go to heaven like any other sinner. That is up to God.
On Earth, he has to be in prison."
We've spent about 30 years pretending that if a man felt bad enough, loudly enough, in the right lighting, the sentence would soften. It doesn't work that way and it never did.
Mercy for the soul. Consequences for the crime. Everybody wants the first one delivered to their door.
Signing up for the second would require actual repentance.
