∙ 13y agoBecause he was a God fearing man who believe that vengance belonged to God. He was prayerful in every situation. He was being lead by God to do the things he did. There was no way he would have survived as long as he did. He knew it would come about a time when he would have to lay down his life for his love of people and God was pleased with him. It was all about treating everybody right. It should have never been about the color of one's skin. Remember the "Golden Rule" do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.
