Bell's Life Ended Just as He Was at Moment of Transition

Submitted by Ms. Henry, Dec 10, 2006 12:44

While I agree that some events and overall quality of life "happenings" that occured prior to the untimely death of this young man are being a tad glorified in this article. The general sumation should not be clouded by how we perceive his life to have been. In simple terms; this young man's life was DELIBERATELY taken without thought or conscience. It takes time and calculated effort to re-load a gun and keep shooting; this was no accident. To take the life of anyone is brutal and heinous; but to do so without regard is ten times worse. And in addition, there should be no hesitation ( i.e the current progression of events) about whether the responsible parties should face consequences; the focus should instead be on what will the consequences entail? A slap on the wrist? Or a substantial sentence that will send the message that this type of reckless disregard for human life will not be tolerated? Im actively watching to see how this will play out.

P.S No one knows him better than his immediate family and friends, so allow them to be the judge of "the transition his life was taking"
