Last night one of my nephews was murdered in cold blood by a stranger who wanted to fight. He was on his way home from a funeral; another nephew, when the family stopped for a bite to eat. It was there at the club-restaurant where he was approached by a stranger seeking a fight.
The murderer; who is nothing more then a coward with a gun, shot someone last year in the leg while that person held his daughter, what was this coward doing on the street? Why was he not in jail?

Please someone say something.

Wow! What is there to say?
Sorry for your loss.

And yes I agree, he should have been in jail. That doesn't take away what you and your family must be going through.

That is very sad to hear. I am sorry for your loss.

I feel sorry for your loss. I hope the culprit would be punished.

So very sorry for your lost.I hope this time they put him in jail and throw away the key .My prayers go out to u and your family.

That sucks dude.

The problem of seeking out meaning in life after experiencing a tragedy like this, is to understand that whatever wrong action is committed by another person, one must prevent oneself of repeating the same wrong action twice. This model isn't easy to abide by since wrong actions are committed everyday and everytime, and that the meaning of life itself is hijacked by the common occurances of wrongful actions.

So to summarize: One can find meaning in life by trying to do best of doing good most of the time; and hopefully people around you will see that good actions is a necessary means to combat the actions of the wrong.

I'm sorry for you. I just lost my dear brother and it's hard.

Why was he not locked up? Ask the idiot judge who handled his case. Ask ALL of the judges in America why they make such ignorant decisions.

I know this may not help...but just know God does see things such as this and the Bible states be sure your sins will find you out..I will pray for you to come to terms with this and know that these sins will not go unpunished..I am so sorry for your loss...

The omnipotent Spagetti Monster sees everything too. I too pray for you to understand that seeing and doing nothing about it, is a result of a impotent entity who does not care about people's tragedies.

I don't know that this is the place to bring a discussion of your disdain for religion. she was trying to offer him comfort

You're right. You don't know if this is a place for to discuss religion, nor it is for me to do that as well.
