Why does God let bad things happen to good people? Is the normal question. But you could also look at it from the offenders side (in the cases of human evil, not natural disasters and such).
Why doesn't God stop evil people? Because he's trying to win them over too. In fact, we're all evil. God doesn't come in a big thunderstorm when you sin, right? And he doesn't prevent you from sinning (physically) most of the time. God doesn't prevent you from sinning for several reasons. First of all, it wouldn't help at all, you are desiring the sin, and when God limits your options, well, that's just circumstances so you will look towards other things. Second, God will let you experience the negative results of your sin (for instance the damaged marriage of an affair) so that you can see your two options more clearly. God is amazing, and sin is also stupid and destructive.
Side note: Sometimes God does prevent evil, remember. If he didn't, evil wouild be running rampant. He intervenes in life all the time. Thank him or upholding the universe. Also know that all good things ever done are due to God. We don't kill eachother because our concience (created by God) reminds us instincively not to because all people are made in the image of God and we should not intervene in his good work.
Summary: god allows people to do bad things in order to keep wooing them to himself. Plus he prevents evil and upholds the universe all the time.
He died for you!
