People are more than the

Explaining her
opposition to the death penalty. As quoted in: N.Y. Times Magazine, May 9, 1993
|
The above quote by Helen Prejean, was quoted in N.Y. Times Magazine, May
9, 1993, where she explained her opposition to the death penalty. This infamous
quote was used by her to give an excuse why guilty murderers should not be put
to death. Sadly, this quote has been used by people who want to end mass incarceration
as an excuse on why criminals cannot be locked up forever. (1)

evil," Skarsgard says of Pennywise

We, the comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, who stand up
for the rights of crime victims can prove Prejean how wrong she is. If you
notice that not one Prisoner Rights activist ever dare to mention about recidivist
murderers because it is too embarrassing for them to talk about it.
Take the case of Albert Flick.
 |
Albert Flick was convicted of killing Kimberly
Dobbie, 48, years after he murdered his wife
|
On this
date, August 9, 2019, Albert Flick, a 77-year-old man previously deemed
"too old to be a threat" was sentenced to life in prison on for fatally stabbing a
woman in front of her children, four decades after he was convicted of a nearly
identical crime.
A judge who
sentenced him for assaulting another woman said in 2010 that Flick would no
longer represent a threat because of age by the time of his release in 2014.
The judge disregarded the recommendation of the prosecutor and probation
officer for a longer sentence.
"At
some point, Mr. Flick is going to age out of his capacity to engage in this
conduct, and incarcerating him beyond the time that he ages out doesn't seem to
me to make good sense," Crowley said.

Albert Flick is a resident of Maine who was
found guilty of two murders and two assaults. He has been in the news lately
because of his most recent murder conviction. This conviction was handed to him
after a judge stated years prior that at the age of 77 he was “too old to be
dangerous.”
|
Judge
Crowley must have probably followed Prejean’s infamous quote and wanted to give
Flick a second chance. Sadly, another life is now lost.
Truth is
Jesus Christ said in Mark 7 vs 20-23:
 |
20 And he said,
That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from
within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,
murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come
from within, and defile the man. - Mark
7:20-23 (KJV)

In
conclusion, the case of Albert Flick (or any recidivist murderer) and the words
of Jesus Christ shows that every human being on earth is totally depraved and
we cannot say that, “People are more than the worst
thing they have ever done in their lives.”, we should call them to
repentance and condemn their evil deeds by punishing evildoers with death.
That’s why the Bible says evil company corrupts good morals. You’re colliding with these corrupt people. You know, you’re - I know you’re concerned about the future. You say, “What about my kids and the way the world is going? It’s going to get worse and worse and worse.” And it is, and the worse and worse that it’s going to get may be just a recycling of the kind of world that used to be. But what is the answer? The answer is that your kids, as well as you, are not to fear the pollution that’s outside of you, you’re to fear the pollution that is inside of you. – John MacArthur’s Sermon: The Inside Story on Defilement

“The sin of your nature, your original sin, is
sufficient to sink you into torments, of which there will be no end. Therefore
unless you receive the Spirit of Christ, you are reprobates, and you cannot be
saved.” — George Whitefield

True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending
on self-made righteousness. Those who trust in their own righteousness for
conversion hide behind their own good works. This is the reason that
self-righteous people are so angry with gospel preachers, because the gospel
does not spare those who will not submit to the righteousness of Jesus Christ! — George Whitefield
