Ya, I know I just took bones to task for sharing terrible crime stories none of us can do a thing about and here I am, doing the very same thing. Maybe I understand a bit more what led her to post about the baby thrown into traffic....because we've just had an 80 year old man found beaten to death in the garage of his home. Three people found driving his stolen 1993 Plymouth Valiant, one 18 year old and two 15 year olds, have been arrested for his murder. And the victim was my neighbor.
No, I did not know him. But now I wonder whether it is safe to leave my windows open downstairs. I wonder how his family will ever find peace with losing him this way. I wonder how a 15 year old even gets the idea to commit such a brutal murder. I wonder what the victim's last terrifying, pain-filled moments were like.
We prolly all hear of local crimes that touch us in some way, and I suppose in the grand scheme of things the one I am posting about isn't all that sensational. But yet, it has me weighed down and grieving...and like bones, some days you need to share it to carry it.
