He was left there probably to die for someone said, “His death, humanity did defy.”

And yet, Tyre ʼ s mother said for those five men and their families she would pray.

And let us also pray that GOD will have mercy on them and that each man will believe and accept CHRIST and repent in his way before GOD ʼ S GREAT, and to sinners, MOST TERRIBLE GREAT JUDGMENT DAY!

For by then,like each of us, if those five are still spiritually lost, they will pay a price a billion times worst than what Tyre ʼ s situation unjustly cost.

And if one can bear to see the video, all that you will do is to CRY, CRY, and CRY!

But let all AMERICANS of GOOD FAITH try and get legislation passed quickly by, so that we will then no longer unduly be suspected, but all AMERICANS will be fairly protected!

Black ,white,yellowish,tan, or brown,let us now in loving unity be bound,and let us all unite and fight for the GOD

GIVING cause of what is right,
