I haven't posted in so long, but I don't know where else to say something like this. A local guy was shot and killed on Monday. Not even REMOTELY April Fool's, ok. He lived across the street from my grandparents, and they often hired him to help them out with odd jobs. Stacking their firewood, mowing their lawn, that kind of thing. He helped me to move my cousin's stuff out of her old apartment. His name was Curtis, and he was a few months younger than I am. Really good guy. The bastard who did it was caught, some 16 year old punk. Witnesses saw the two arguing, nothing too serious- Curtis turned away, and the kid shot him in the back of the head. It was in broad daylight. People really disgust me sometimes. Shit like this should never, never happen. |
