    It is also a sin to judge someone. So if you are being judgemental and looking down on this man, then you should pray for forgiveness as well. There isn’t one person on this Earth who has the right to say anything to anyone about anything they do. Yes, selling drugs is wrong and doing drugs is wrong. This man may have made some bad decisions, haven’t we all. And I believe it says in the Bible,” he who is without sin, may cast the first stone”!

    To Michael Hare,
    I’m not judging you. But I will tell you that I know it’s a sin to kill… that’s what happens to people that does meth.. It may take a while for them to stop breathing. But it slowly kills that person. It takes them from the people that loves them. Turns them into someone that no one likes. Kills them on the inside. Then slowly they stop living for anything but Meth.
    So if your selling these drugs, you may want to pray to your God for forgiveness, and change your ways.

    From: someone who loves some people that will never be the same again.

    @ Henry Coe

    Somehow I feel this guy had no concern about the proximity of a church, school or anything when he decided it’d be a great idea to start up a lab to manufacture drugs and sell them.
    Oh, Understand the penalty for “being within X-feet of” carries a separate charge of its own. Just think these scofflaws don’t care where they are or who is nearby.
    Lock him up and dangle the key just out of his reach.

    It is actually within 1,000 feet of 3 churches. 1 council on aging center!

    By Google Maps it looks like he had intent to sell, manufacture or deliver within 1,000 feet of two churches.
