The Shooter of the Pope

The Turkish man who in 1981 shot the Pope, was released from prison today. He was given just over 29 years in prison for his offence. The shooter proclaimed that he was a messenger from God and that the world would end in this century. Mehmet Ali Agca, 54, Turkish police say that they will keep a very close look on him because some still question his mental health. It was may 13, 1981, and the Pope was in an open car in St. Peter's Square. Three shots were fired, and he was hit in the abdomen, left hand, and right arm. Luckily, all missing organs. John Paul (the Pope) met with Mr. Agca in 1983, to forgive him for his shooting. Before he shot him, Mr. Agca stated that, " I proclaim the end of the world. All the world will be destroyed in this century. Every human being will die in this century." Shortly after blurting out that he was the Messiah. This man still believes he is Christ eternal. He also said that the Gospel is full of mistakes, and that he should write the perfect one.

I think that this man obviously has serious psychiatric problems, and should be put in an asylum for the rest of his life. He obviously has problems, and should not be allowed in public. I guess that 29 years wasn't enough to figure himself out.
