Just watched James Holmes first court appearance. He didn't say a word. Hopefully, Colorado serves him the death penalty.

Yes. While we must sometimes look at the face of evil in order to confront it, let us remember the victims and their loved ones instead. Let us honor those who sacrificed their own lives in order to protect and save the women they loved. Let us pray for those devastated by the loss of their children, their mothers, their fathers, their sisters, their brothers and their friends.
Look upon the face of evil, but don’t glorify it.
