It’s really pathetic that our world has come to this. Some teenagers are roughhousing – like that’s unusual – and in the process, one breaks the other’s glasses. The breakee demands payment, but the breaker only has half the money, so friends of the “victim” beat up the kid who broke the glasses.
Bad enough, you say? Wait – it goes on! So the Rogers family is driving around later that night, and the mom stops to talk to the two who assaulted her son, even offering to pay for the glasses. The mom’s sister suggests calling the police. The guy with the gun says I’m a give you a reason to call the police and shoots several times, one of the bullets lodging in the mom’s spine, rendering her legs useless for at least the time being. Doctors say she has a 50-50 chance of walking again.
While I know it’s stereotypical, I doubt the shooter would be reading at all, much less here. But come on people – shooting someone over a pair of sunglasses, that have already been halfway paid for, and someone offered to fully purchase? That’s just insane!

One response to “Your Shades or Your Life”
My wife works in the school system and the more I visit classrooms of children (3-5) the more I see people I’ve known. I think most of the world is full of children in adult bodies. Look at dogs, they might become large dogs but they still think their puppies.
So many people I run across have that toddler mentality and it is scary. There are two types of people in the world. Those who have grown up, and those who haven’t.
I can’t believe though a gun got pulled on a mom and not only that, but it was fired with lethal intent over shades. I have to think more words were exchanged and it got heated, but in the end, regardless, that was pretty wrong.
