Crowd riled up by officials with an agenda planted in the mob. Crowd-think and unreasonable people. (Do you want a murderer or an innocent person released back into society?) This whole thing makes zero sense.

Terrifying what people accomplish with this kind of mindless momentum.

Also God didn’t stop it. I want to criticize us for being so dumb and cruel. And even that’s useful to God. God’s not wringing his hands: O no! The people really did it this time!

God uses everything to accomplish his purpose. All our imperfections. Still of course it is my effort to give him something good to work with. And when I don’t, I don’t need to despair.
