"If I killed one of your best friends, would it be Just to let me go? Merciful, yes, but Just? I think not. "
I am not God, so my decision will fall short in its complexity.
I will answer this though, let us exclude the law of man, this event happens on a street when no one else is around. I would hope, from my current standpoint that I let him go, for holding him would only glorify me, the peace the killer finds will be in my act of kindness towards him.
My swallowing of the pain would leave me half empty at that time, but i would find my peace also in God just as the killer would find peace in knowing i forgave him and knowing that God forgives all.
