Innocent 12 year Old Dies From Gunshot Wound
I posted this on my blog but as not everyone reads my blogs I though I would post it here as well.
This would be the saddest story that I have heard of for awhile. It is of an innocent 12 year old boy who was killed Friday night (18th April 08) in front of a store in Wilkinsburg. They say he was not the intended victim but that would be a small consolation to the parents of Kholen Germany.
So once again an innocent victim falls prey to some stupid gun toting person. I know that Americans believe it is their constitutional right to carry arms but it seems a high price to pay when this right has the undesired effect on victims falling prey to intentional and unintentional flying bullets.
Perhaps someone over there should bite the bullet, face the gun lobby and do something about the proliferate ownership of guns.
EDIT: it seems that it won't allow me to post the video. For those of you who are interested you can see the video here.

I don't feel this way about guns, I bloody hate them. We do take on the Gun lobby quite often...this would be why we don't allow Oozie toting idiots to run amok...yes a bullet is a bullet, and it is everyones right to protect themselves blablabla, meantime a 12 year old is dead.
Certainly doesn't look that
Certainly doesn't look that way from this neck of the woods Sassy. How you been these days anyway?

do not have the right to bear arms. Gun-owners must be licenced by the police. But accidents do happen - a drive by shooting a few months by gang-members killed a little girl in her home while sitting on a couch.

Makes you wonder why it is
Makes you wonder why it is always the innocent that have to suffer. I don't suppose they ever caught the culprit?
