"Cyclist shot, killed after buying groceries"
It is truly hard to believe that devastating crimes like these still exist in the world today. What increases my anger more is how the stories like these are present in our reading material almost everyday. A lot of articles and shows have reporters talking about how someone died due to either being beaten to death, shot or just verbally abused which led them to take their own life. Why are people so interested in taking the lives of others?
The person who was the victim in this story was a 22 year old man who was travelling home riding his bike with groceries to his 3 year old daughter. A gang van pulled by and shot him to death. This guy died while being rushed to the hospital.
Now just imagine the impact his death might have on his daughter, on his family, and on the society which now might be in fear of being the next target. I don't understand why people kill each other in the first place.
We were all created as equals, and really having different religions, languages, races, sex, and ethnicities should not influence us to take each other's lives. What's in it? What did the gang get?
We all just need to put a stop to this injustice. All lives are as precious and priceless, so why do we put a price tag on some?
