(I got these a few weeks ago as my porch lights went out about a month ago...they will be burning tonite.)
Well, I'm sitting here holding back tears. I just spent the last few minutes
reading posts written by a truly evil person on a Facebook post my friend was
following and sharing. It's called "Porch Lights for Hailey Owens".
Ten-year-old Hailey, if you don't know, was kidnapped the other day in broad daylight by
an evil person (I'm not going to refer to him as a "man" nor even use his name)
who worked in the school district as a teacher's aide and coach...who
subsequently killed her. People had seen him take her and actually ran after
him on foot and followed him with their car...they called the police with a
detailed description of him and his car, plates and all, and - well, by the time
the police arrived (I cried too much earlier in the evening to read further in the story) it was too
late.
This Facebook post calls for everyone to keep their porch lights on for
her...as a symbolic gesture...in her memory. It's not asking for anything above
and beyond what someone can easily do.
So, what happens? A person, hell-bent on pissing people off, no other
reason than to get people upset, to throw chaos into a post which most everyone
is saying things like "Oh, that's horrible - I will pray for her and her
family." and "She is with God now...know that she's in a better place." -
decides it would be "fun" (there's no other reason I can see) to say mean
horrible things about how God didn't help her and whatnot...but really, really
mean. And they were going on about how they'd normally turn their porch lights
on and how people will now think they believe in God now if they do. These
comments must have numbered in several dozens...and I stopped reading comments
altogether because their "wicked game" was not funny.
You know what? I don't care if you believe in God...or you are an
atheist...if you never pray or if you pray 27 times a day...I can never
understand the mean-spiritedness of a person who takes to the Internet saying
things knowing full well they have the anonymity factor behind them.
I honestly never will.
These people are truly evil. I am not at all accusing them of being
atheist - or being anything...other than evil. Even if they are hard-working
people who follow the letter of the law...these people are evil. And, I don't
know if there is a Hell...but I certainly hope they burn in it.
Sorry...I don't usually wish horrible things on people...but some people do
deserve it.
The story is here, which, if you'd like, links you to the Facebook page (at which I advise you not to read any comments): Porch Lights for Hailey Owens
My blog today is dedicated to the memory of Hailey Owens and for all the other children who have been abducted and lived to tell about it - and to those who did not.
The prompt today was "Chaos" at "We Work for Cheese".
