Jehovah's Witness forgives attackers
Saturday, October 15, 2011 at 6:31AM
AN elderly grandfather who appealed to a judge not to jail two men who viciously attacked him said he blames himself for the incident that left him battered and bruised.
Michael Leech (74) said he forgave his assailants because he is a Jehovah's Witness.
He received a broken nose, black eyes, bruising and lacerations to his face and lost teeth after he confronted teenagers throwing bangers at cars in Athea on the Halloween night.
“If I hadn't gone over and grabbed him by the shirt and said: 'What the blooming hell do you think you're blasting well doing' -- it wouldn't have happened, would it?

It is good that this man can forgive his attackers. However, I got a big problem with the chain of events. Especially how the on lookers and the parents of some 60 children that witnessed this crime, failed to render aid and assistance.
If nobody else can see the REAL PROBLEM, than I feel sorry for you! The "adults" and the young adults with no love or caring in their heart!
People are the plague on this planet, short and simple. What a waste of human flesh!
