Homicide sucks!
I've had a friend gunned down by a guy just because of an argument. It happened about a mile away from my home (I live in the South Wedge Area part of the city, not far from Monroe Avenue.)
The loss was indescribable - he was talented at graffiti and he always loved showing off his drawings and sketches of past and future graffitis he's done. His sketches were so awesome!
What bugged me the most about his death was his wife and kids. He was married, and had two kids - one whom was just born six months earlier, a baby girl.
Being a father myself, the very thought of my friend's kids missing out on their father's presence breaks my heart.
The point is, homicide sucks. I wish people would stop, take a few breaths, and think things over - before even doing anything stupid and foolish, such as taking another life. Nothing excuses that, period.
Many homicides are done at impulse (last-minute without any planning or forethought) by petty issues - such as arguments, money, kids, food, affairs, and more tiny things.
I'm trying to say people need to stop and THINK the consequences over, before even doing anything so fuckin' foolish!
:!: The bottom line: Life is precious. Taking it isn't. :!:
