I once knew a young lady whose brother was convicted and sentenced to prison for attempted murder. Apparently, he was involved in some illicit activity which led to a disagreement with his cohorts. Shocking, I know. Somewhere in the course of events, this brother fired several rounds from a firearm in the general vicinity of these cohorts, and one of them took a bullet in the back. This is where the prison sentence came in.
My point:
As this sister was conveying this story through tears, as she loved her brother, she displayed complete shock that this seemingly small thing led to prison time. "He just shot him in the back to scare them. It's not like he was trying to kill anybody. And really it's their own fault," were her words.
I guess for some that are emotionally invested, guilt is a hard thing to accept, blame an easy thing to cast, and perspective an easy thing to lose.
God bless them.
