    So, Franklin Graham was right to come to the Bay Area.
    He preached the sanctity of human life, consequentions for actions and a way to be forgiven.
    I pray Chaplins will talk with the kids in juvenile hall and those 3 school campuses.
    We have all gone wrong. And church, God and forgiveness is the answer.
    Also removing the “innocent” violence from video games, tv and movies.
    As all of you, I am soooo glad these two kids did not prevail. Thank you FBI.

    That’s what we need – more evangelicals and televangelists. They’ve been doing great.
