I realize I will get a lot of flak about this video.
I'm expecting the vitriol and off topic comments.

But I hope you will take a look at it anyway.
Not saying this is the rule; it is probably a pretty rare exception.
But it does show what can happen when an appropriate second chance is given.

I hope that this young man seeks God's help to live up to the gift he has received. He should dedicate his life to helping other young people to get their lives straight with God and learn to do good things for other people. If, on the other hand, he decides that white people are evil than this special gift was wasted. Pray that he has learned and honors God's gift with the rest of his life.

"Dedicating his life to helping other young people." Do you have any idea how onerous his life would be? How sheltered, protected and housed? A group of people tending to his every need? Or how short his life would be traveling alone and curing people or preaching to strangers?

At first I thought this video was going to be a "feelgood" liberal piece of crap. But as I watched the video document the correspondence between this 13-year-old assailant and his victim, I began to understand. The victim did allow him to stay in prison for several years, but then helped him get released. While I don't think I would be quite as forgiving, it does give me food for thought.
