Maurice Clemmons, Cop Killer, fatally shot by cops

Mau­rice Clem­mons, the thug that exe­cuted four Lake­wood, Wash­ing­ton offi­cers, has been shot and killed by Seat­tle police.  As a Chris­t­ian, I regret the fact that Clem­mons’ soul is more than likely lost and he’s in hell right now.  (As an aside, I refuse to post pic­tures of thugs and ter­ror­ists on my blog.  If you want to see what these degen­er­ates look like, go to the news sites.  I will post pic­tures of the vic­tims, though, as I did yes­ter­day - out of respect and remem­brance of the lives they led.)

How­ever, from a “judi­cial” stand­point, I only have two words:  Good riddance.

In trib­ute to the fallen offi­cers, here’s a poem from Alfred, Lord Tennyson:

Sun­set and evening star,
  And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moan­ing of the bar,
  When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as mov­ing seems asleep,
  Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the bound­less deep
  Turns again home.

Twi­light and evening bell,
  And after that the dark!
And may there be no sad­ness of farewell,
  When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
  The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
  When I have crossed the bar.
