It is important that we provide new hearts to criminals in need. Seems like a good use of a couple of million dollars so a bloke can break into more homes.

Were you still living in your Father’s House, eating at his table and praying to his Savior, I’ve no doubt you would not be dabbling with all of this hateful white supremecism of late. If ever there was a man the love of Jesus could save from hatred, it is you, Luke. I think that tomorrow, Maundy Thursday, would be a good day for you to start getting back in right with the Lord.”
REPORT: In 2013, then-15-year-old Anthony Stokes was dying and desperately needed a heart transplant that he couldn’t get because, according to doctors, he had “a history of noncompliance.”
Stokes’s family suspected that his low grades and a history of trouble with the law gave doctors reason to believe that he would not be willing to take his medicine or show up at subsequent doctor’s visits. The Georgia teen’s story story sparked outrage, and the hospital quickly reversed its decision, giving him priority on the transplant list.
But two years later, after he received a transplant, Stokes’s “second chance” has come to an abrupt end.
Tuesday afternoon, Stokes died after a vehicle he was driving jumped a curb, hit a pedestrian and collided with a pole in a car chase with police, according to WSBTV.
The pedestrian was hospitalized for her injuries, and Stokes’s car was nearly split in half by the sign, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Police said he had to be cut out of the Honda by first responders and rushed to a hospital, where he later died.
“He lost control and there was a long set of skid marks,” Roswell Police Department spokeswoman Lisa Holland told WXIA.
According to Holland, Stokes was driving a car that matched the description of one used by a person suspected of breaking into an elderly woman’s home. The chase began after officers responding to her 911 call attempted to pull Stokes over, according to WXIA…
It is unclear what exactly caused doctors to change their assessment of Stokes two years ago, but he told WSBTV that he viewed the opportunity as a chance to start over.
The transplant allowed him to “live a second chance. Get a second chance and do things I want to do,” he said.
