A 58-year-old woman, mother of three, grandmother of eight, was shot twice
in the head Friday night. She was driving to the Wal-Mart east of Pasadena. Only
a block from her home, she saw two kids spray-painting graffiti on a new
building. She honked at the kids. They continued to tag the building. She honked
again. Then she got out of her car and started yelling at them to stop it. They
turned around and shouted obscenities at her. She got back into her car, telling
the boys that she was calling the police.
She did not notice another car behind her. The car pulled up next to her.
The passenger window rolled down, and two shots were fired. The two boys, who
had been watching, walked over to the woman’s car. One opened the driver’s door
and grabbed her purse. The other opened the passenger door and dug through the
glove compartment. Then they calmly got into their friend’s car and left the
scene.
It is said, “If good people are silent, evil will win.” This woman was not
silent, yet evil won. The police caught a 19-year-old who they think fired the
shots. He will be tried. If convicted, he will go to prison for 20 years, where
he will get free food, housing, and medical care. And where he’ll learn how to
commit other crimes.
But because the prisons are so overcrowded, he will probably get out in 10
years. So, at the age of about 30, he will be out committing more crimes, while
three children and eight grandchildren will never get to grow older with their
grandma. For bravely speaking up, she was put down. People say that what goes
around, comes around. But how often does that happen to cold-blooded
murderers? |
