Choose This Day...Jail, or Hell?

A couple in Alabama helped save children from a murder suspect who shot and killed their mother.

The couple, who wanted to remain anonymous, told WBRC they were traveling along Huffman Road in Birmingham Tuesday when they noticed a little girl looking distressed and calling for help…

Officials say before law enforcement arrived, the husband and wife said they tried to console the victim’s daughter and son. The wife said the alleged killer, Peavy, returned to the scene, and she says he acted as though nothing ever happened.

“[The little girl] said ‘You killed my mama,’” adds the woman. “‘You killed my mama. I saw you kill my mama.’ The little girl said, ‘Please don’t let him kill me.’ I said baby, ‘Don’t worry about it. I’ll take a bullet today, but I won’t let him hurt you. You’re safe now.’”

She says she couldn’t understand why the suspect came back, but she and her husband weren’t going to let him leave.

“He tried to get in the car to leave, and my husband told him ‘No sir, you’re not going anywhere. You only have two choices, and that’s jail or hell.’ He held him at gunpoint until the police got there.”…

Libel is a Very Serious Crime

Attorney Robert Barnes has reviewed French President Macron's libel complaint against American podcaster Candace Owens, and concludes that Candace recklessly went too far in her public pronouncements and is in serious trouble. His comments:

"The First Amendment heavily shapes libel law in America immunizing opinions that do not imply facts, statements that do not reference an identifiable individual, and claims made with a good faith basis and due regard for their truth remain. Other privileges or immunities may exist depending upon the jurisdiction, including the fair reporting privilege concerning governmental bodies, anti-SLAPP procedural protections, and the like.

· "A good start to assess how courts will likely construe the law on any given topic is the pattern jury instructions courts commonly issue as guidance for trial judges to explain the law to juries.

Our Collapsing Christian Civilization

"We have slipped back to a point at which living faith is shrinking, but the culture that grew out of Christian faith still exists for people as a system of coordinates: what is good, what is bad, what to think about male–female relationships, family, children, parents, responsibility, our neighbours, ourselves, what sin is, what virtue is, what punishment is, what forgiveness is."
