Some People Are Just Too Friggin' Much

A teenage boy was shot in Atlantic City early friday morning. The Press of Atlantic City (Saturday, 7/30/05) is now reporting that the man police are looking for, Antoine McCall, Pleasantville, chased down and shot the 17 year old simply because he was from the same neighborhood as some people involved in an earlier fight. The boy was not involved in that earlier fight, but McCall wanted to get revenge on the neighborhood that was involved in the fight. So the boy became the target at the time.
I am sorry, but some people do not deserve to live! What a reason to shoot someone! (Not that there really is any good reason). To seek revenge against a neighborhood. So, take a gun and shoot anyone who happens to be from that neighborhood. How ridiculous!
But this is the norm anymore. If someone doesn't like someone, is offended by someone, is pissed off at someone, or just feels like having fun, shot them! Go buy a gun, if you don't already have one, and simply shoot the person. Pretty easy, isn't it? Or so it seems.
I go back and forth on the death penalty. But more and more I believe there are people on this earth, that for whatever reason, are plain and simply BAD, and do not deserve to live. There is not a thing you can do to stop them or cure them. I don't know the reason why someone turns out BAD, but some just do. Maybe they're just "bad seeds." And then it's too late. Catch the likes of Mr. McCall, put him in jail, try to rehabilitate him (even though this does not really occur in prison), but the Mr. McCalls of the world will again shoot and kill.
I don't know the answers. If I did, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. But something has to be done about the violence on our streets. It is absolutely absurd at how easy it is to shoot, stab, and kill.
By the way, the 17 year old boy was not killed. He is however, in the trauma unit of a local hospital, indicating major injury. Hopefully he come out alive.
