So I quess everyone lied in court and Freshwater shouldn’t have agreed to a settlement according to you. This so called lie in your eyes and in others eyes of like minded persons like Freshwater, believe their religous beliefs should be forced down the throats of those who do not believe in your religion, and that only your religion is the only “correct word of God”. Such views are dangerous to society and to the right to believe in your own view of religion and religious practice. Open your eyes and look around and you’ll see that not everyone is of like mind, and they have the right to practice their own religion without their children being indoctinated in a government funded school. That is what Freshwater should have realized before he did what he did, and he was rightfully punished for it.

u2022tu201cthe man burned and scarred children. c’mon he should be held accountable both civilly AND criminally.u201d I am a Christian but do not agree with what he has done. Where are the criminal charges? rnu2022trnI have read the entire court transcript of the trial (over 1,000 pages) and it has been proven from the clear testimony of eye witnesses that Freshwater did not burn anyone. The u201cburnu201d supposedly occurred in front of the entire classroom of students. Well 10 students who were there in the u201cfront rowu201d testified that no burning took place. This whole lie has been repeated everywhere with abandon yet few have the ethics to check the facts. Read the transcript. If you are a Christian you should not be repeating this slanderous lie.rn

There will be a day when you realize that this “fairy tale” is reality and that your blindness has cost you and those who refuse to see this truth for eternity. This is not an attack against you or anyone else, it is a plea for you to understand the deception that you have been taken in by. Man is not an animal – we were created in the image of our maker with intellect and will – we do not live and exist by instincts but by the God-given abilities that set us apart from all other creatures. In an effort to eliminate the possibility of a Creator, thereby allowing man to determine his own morality and standards the “theory” of evolution has been accepted by our society. Based on recent events in our community and around the world how do you think those standards are working out?

Does anyone know why Freshwater wasn’t criminally charged and prosecuted? When did he commit these acts of violence and abuse? Has the statute of limitations lapsed? If not, do any of the families wish to pursue criminal charges?

Yeah, just keep repeating that lie over and over again to yourself, because repetition makes things so, right? It wasn’t originally about money, not until Freshwater started lying, then compounded the lies with more lies. All the Dennis family wanted was an apology, an assurance that JF wouldn’t be burning crosses onto the flesh of other 7th graders, and the halting of in-class preaching. Oh, and the severe harassment the family absorbed from the wonderful Christians in your community might have something to do with pushing the federal lawsuits. Freshwater and Hamilton literally turned this into a federal case.
