These assholes have taken the life of an innocent man who they did not know, and have ruined their own lives. They will rot in prison until death, all for ten bucks and a sandwich?

God help us. Jesus, Mary and all saints and all angels pray for us. 

Father, place Josh on the
stairway to Heaven

God save us from the Lost Ones who stalk the Earth stealing away life. Amen. 

Pray for the 19 year olds who die before their time.  Yesterday, they were just boys.  Amen. 

Let us pray that Joshua Proutey is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
