Earlier this week at a district track meet, a young man lost his life. Well, that isn't entirely accurate. His life was taken from him. Stolen from his family and friends. Over what? His murderer was somewhere he was not supposed to be. The guy that murdered him brought an illegal weapon to a place that prohibited such weapons. He intentionally sat where he was not only not supposed to be, but where he knew this young man would be. Reportedly the two had a prior run in. That makes this suspiciously like a premeditated murder. He knew the young man would be in that location and he went there, He was armed with a deadly weapon. An altercation took place and the guy with the weapon, a knife, stabbed the young man in the heart. As the young man lay dying, his twin brother held him and tried to stop the bleeding. He couldn't. A short time later the murdering thug responsible for this death was arrested and confessed to the murder. Now he awaits his fate after due process.
I am surprised we have not seen them yet. You know...Those pictures of a happy 12 year old at church they always show. They show those rather than his mug shot or the photos of him holding an AK or a pile of drug money. I actually do not see a way out of this mess for the little thug, and that is fine with me. I say they go for the death penalty. They won't. He is 17. Probably get a 30 year sentence and come out in 20 to walk free in the society that he could not act right in before.
If you can't tell, I have no pity for this murderer. They need to bring back "old sparky" and make examples of a few of the "death row citizens!" But that's just my opinion. Hope you were not offended by it...but it will not change.
