Re: Wow... what an ending to the day...
The meth is relatively new down here...heck, we're 20 years behind in almost everything. Crack and PCP are unknown here but the meth is fast making its mark. To cite one case, a guy who was waiting for a train at a railway station and reading a book was randomly stabbed to death near where I worked...the guy got life. That kind of stuff going on more and more.
I never knew anybody who died violently myself, but I (and Leatchy) knew a guy who committed a mass shooting in 1987. He was nineteen. He shot eleven people, seven of whom died.
There's no 'right' way to feel Trev. Whatever you are feeling is natural and to be honest, there's stuff that we'll just never know so asking 'why?' doesn't help much either. It's a tragic waste and it's not just the two lives ruined. Presumably, this kid had a family who loved him. They must be shattered.
Good on you for sharing Trevor...it's weird huh? People go through all kinds of strange and surprising emotions when faced with unusual situations. I heard news of an old friend last night. He recently beat Hodgkinson's Lymphoma. He was sick for three years. Now that he's well again, his life has kinda disintegrated...he has post traumatic stress disorder from fighting cancer. He realised things weren't right when he was going for his last 6 monthly check up...and wishing that the cancer had returned!! How's THAT for strange stuff under stress.
Peace mate...I'm around if you need an ear.
