I've been soaking this in, and crying and just feeling hopeless for the last few days....
I'm sick of the violence in America.
gun violence.
murder.
I'm sick of the drug abuse, and not taking care of the problem in any sort of efficient way.
not dealing with addiction and mental illness.
and repeat offenders getting second, third, fifth and tenth chances....
My friend out here, posted a photo the other day, of him hugging his sister on her wedding day.
there was comment after comment, "I'm so sorry" etc.
I saw my friend a couple days later and we talked, and he confirmed that his sister is gone...
It was a home invasion, by a repeat criminal...
broke into the house, randomly for no reason, and shot and killed her, and shot her husband in the head.
the husband survived and is in "unknown" condition.
she didn't make it.
she was a new mom, with a two month old baby boy, who will never never know his mother.
when the police arrived on the scene, they found the shooter hiding in the bushes.
he didn't know the family.
he didn't steal anything.
he was just what I'm assuming is a meth head junkie.
He had fled a crime in another state, and ended up traveling to the state where this all happened.
I can't deal with this.
and there are too many stories like this.
some other friends of mine a few years back lost their mother in the same way.
Somebody broke into her house and killed her.
a random home invasion.
and in 2013 my uncle was killed the same way.
somebody broke into his home and killed him
(no arrests were ever made, and its still unsolved.)
I just am so sick about all this and the way America is.
I know crimes happen other places too, but I think we could prevent stuff like this from happening if we made some effort.
I wanna move.
I want out of here.
and my heart hurts
