“I believe in God, and God knows what happened.”

The words of this monster convicted of locking disabled people in her basement in order to collect their benefits.

Is this the good that comes from religion, absolution for horrific acts given by a god who chose not prevent you from doing those horrific acts in the first place?

And sure as shit, someone will say "thank god they found those poor people she locked up..."

‘You are evil': Woman gets life in prison for locking disabled people in ‘dungeon’

For 10 years, the group targeted mentally disabled people, luring those who were vulnerable and estranged from their families and locking them inside cabinets, basements and attics, according to prosecutors.

The group’s ringleader, Linda Weston, persuaded the victims to allow her to become their representative and began collecting their disability benefits. The victims, prosecutors said, lived in the dark and in isolation, and were fed food laced with drugs to keep them sedated; they were brutally punished if they tried to escape.

Weston had pleaded guilty in September to 196 counts, including murder in aid of racketeering, kidnapping and involuntary servitude. Thursday, she apologized in court.

“I am sorry,” Weston said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I believe in God, and God knows what happened.”

Rufe responded, “There are a lot of people in this courtroom who know what happened, too.”

You have a lot of work to do before you can be as big at it as your predecessor. He didn't need Google to be...what he was.

12. I have evidence to the contrary on that one...

It's more a stylistic approach when it comes down to it.

9. First, lose the 'u' key.

Second, study snark and arrogance and how to get away, for a while, with using it here to attack people.

However I do admire your efforts to take up the slack.
