    Thank you Sheriff Rowles for being our American model of law enforcement. In this era of so much police brutality it feels good to see a person in your position with a basic sense of humanity. I saw a video of an elderly white lady with dementia being so brutalized by police they broke her arm and dislocated her shoulder. This happened weeks after the George Floyd incident. After seeing this doc I know there's still hope for us all.

    I mean the comment about hoping it was another black who committed this crime leaves a lot to be desired but I think he meant well + he seemed to really care about helping the Byrd family as much as possible. You have to remember that we were only 30 years passed the violence and racist past of the south. He obviously grew up in that time and I think he really is a decent man, you can't crucify him for that 1 comment because what I think he was trying to convey was we can't afford the possible blow back if say that the Klan was behind it which it kinda was, just nazi's instead. He really seems like he was a decent man who just misspoke. I get what he was trying to get across that Texas especially that part of Texas might explode because of the nature of the crime.

(you have to be white to be treated with home town hospitality) and unless you walk in dark skin , or talk a different language or are of a different culture and or look different and dress different, (only then you would understand...) new waverly , texas is a very segregated town , which mainly is white people, Being mostly an all white population is not the problem ,and it would not be so bad , ( it just that if you are not the right color , you do not belong) that is the problem with racism..your guilty of being born different

( hispanic and country black people are not so distant with others comming through town) , in fact they are kind and actualy say hello.

    God forgive all if you mean it, and he knows it , if you do. He sent his only begotten son to actually die for our sin. God know everything that will happen before it do. God know if you are faking,, or if you are true. Forgiveness is a must in the heart of a person. It proves that the love of Jesus is an obedient need for a person to enter heaven. Jesus is the truth and the light, he is also the only way. People would rather serve the devil, the liar. Than to trust in God. Like I said before, I am preparing myself for an emortal life with my God, and all should do the same, before it's too late. God is a forgiving God, he know, if you are for real. God love the just, and the unjust we all have time to change, we're still alive aren't we? Yes we are, even though tomorrow isn't promised to us. We have to change now., We have to work on loving each others, and, and helping each others, and showing God that we care, and appreciate all that he does for us. Praise God, in Jesus name, amen.

      To conclude that one is not a Christian simply for stating "I doubt it" is nonsensical. If the vile racist murderer breathed his last with the same arrogant unrepentant heart as the first one then I too doubt he'll RIP. In fact, according to the Word of God there most certainly will be no restng in peace. Their everasting experience will be anything but peaceful. So says the Word!!!
