Ok, there's a reason I didn't post here before, but I can't hold this in anymore.
To start, and the following statement may make me look like a total jerk, but if you were to tell e a week ago that a member of these forums was going to be shot, I'd be sitting in my bedroom for at least a month on end.
Seriously, your friend was a random murder victim? That is, in my opinio, the WORST way to die..... that is; he was denied a life by someone who:
1: Doesn't even know him
2: Has no motive whatsoever
... And he hasn't been found yet? Ok, society really is evil.
And oh yes, I believe in executions for all felonies. So I hope this guy DOES get the chair, or whatever. But knowing the sorry state of our judicial system, the murderer will either:
1: Be judged not guilty due to "inconclusive evidence" -- I guess the DNA samples found at the site weren't enough, or:
2: Be convicted, and serve about 18 months of a 12 year sentence , being released on "good behavior", and then go out and commit another random murder.
As I said before, there's a reason I didn't post here before. I was afraid my post would not only make me look like a total jerk, but also divert the attention to the flaws in society, and not the issue at hand.
That said, I am sorry for your loss. I hope you all can cope with this, and I also hope this guy is found and dealt with correctly.
Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.
