God loves him like he loves the rest of us. What would it take for a saint in that area to go to the jail cell to visit him specifically and tell him about Jesus?

Well here is a question... could it be at all possible that he is indeed "unreachable"? The Bible talks about God turning over people to their sins, hardening their hearts, and causing them to become reprobates. I'm not saying that we should assume that he is so demonically possessed that he is absolutely unreachable BUT when I saw the tattoos my first thought was of the man in colorado who thought he was the joker and ended up killing numerous people in a movie theater with no remorse. These clearly possessed individuals... is there help for them? Or has God already turned them over to their sin causing them to do absolutely outrageous things that even this corrupt and immoral society we currently live in can find troubling? I don't know.

You reach people with the gospel.

"And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh." Jude 1:22-23


You either use compassion or you use fear. If God has already turned them over to their sin there is no fear or reverence of God in them, and it has been my experience that some people have no fear of God, and some people do not respond to compassion at all and have no compassion. In order for you to shoot randomly into a crowd of people you have no fear of God (obviously) and no compassion for humanity. There are people who simply are void of any human emotion... so far gone that I just honestly believe there is no helping them. God has already made his decision in their regards. Not saying that's THIS man's issue... but it's something to think about.
