Well a few months after a fellow graduate of mine dies in a car accident I hear that a girl I have known since elementary school was shot in the head and killed.. It really makes me think.. I would guess the killing was over something like drugs but Im not too sure but to take a persons life is just disgusting, I hope the killer is found and brought to justice the right way... I think we should all be lucky to be alive.

No one from my class that I know of died, but a whole bunch came out of the closest. Sorry to hear of the violence.

One of my friends died Wednesday in a motorcycle accident

[nik]

my best friend and class mate died in seattle in a motorcycle accident last year i was all the other drivers fault

this summer three people from my class hit a guardrail at 115 mph in a buick and smash the car up into such a tight ball, it landed in the "river" "stream" type thing next to the road and drowned. But they think they all died on impact. Then a kid from the year before me got shot point blank in the head with a 44 mag at a gas station.

Thats just sick, when I was living in Minneapolis, MN we would have drive bys every so often, or see people getting the ****z beaten out of them by gang members. I would go to school, bike around, and go fishing with a machete in my backpack. I did this during freshman year (the year I moved to MN) all the way throught H.S and after getting my Diploma I finally moved to AR. Thats when I stopped carrying a weapon around with me cause theres less crime down here. But don't think your safe, cause I still have a steel sword in my celica waiting to hack the ****z outta of anyone who tries to hijack me or jump me when I'm getting out of my car. My two cousin who attended H.S with me carried a hatchet and the other one had chains.

A city with a lot of crimes is not safe, at school, at home, at work, at the hospital and def. not at the policestation. (PERIOD).

You only got yourself, yourselves back, and your trusty weapon. Once you lose either one your a dead guy. DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!!!! If you jump into a fight and your friends don't your all going to be beaten to a pulp. You live with death at your side and only death will be able to take away your life unless of course you beat the **** out of death with your weapon.

i have a walther P9 ready to grab, especially after the shootings and stuff. I figured, hey, if i'm going to get caught in a crossfire, i might as well at least try to save myself, people (gangs), get ruthless sometimes

i fear killing someone on accident, that is why i don't carry swords and guns. Just the idea of killing someone intentially sickens me.

stuff like that happens around here all the time.. its sad but i'm used to it... in the last few years they has been a few shot outs on the corner of my block ... one kid i went to grammer school with is doing life for murder ... when i was younger i was shot at... thank God they guy had bad aim ...one of my cousins is always strapped ... but he lives on a real bad block ... humans are just stupid animals .. some less then others... but we are giving so much .. the ablittly to do so manythings... and so many of use waste that God given gift....

i agree macavely, i hope i didn't give the wrong impression by what i said about the pistol. It's just a fear of 1) being in a crossfire hopeless and left for an easy kill by some crazy gang or 2) a walmart being shot up by some guy. I've just had the mindset that i'll do what i have to do to save other people's lives. (and i'm trained, with official records, to shoot dead on target)

no you didn't ... but when your in a spot where you know your life will be taken... your mind might just switch to serival mode and you'll end up doing things you thought you were never capable of doing ... trust me i know ... and you being trainned to fire an arm ... is a good thing... cause you knowing how to use it can save your life the the life of others if your put in that position .

[spunky393]

as in hand on hand fighting? haha, trained in that too. Adrenalin is a major factor in servival mode. Or are you speaking of hurting somebody innocent? of so, that's completely understandable. That's why cops get deamed a bad cop if they shoot an innocent bystandered, but why can't people think,

"what would have i REALLY have done if somebody popped out around a corner in the dark, and I had a gun in my hand"

[macavely]

i ment hand on hand fighthing with innocent people around... well not so much hand to hand.. cause we .. well i live in a world where people don't fight with their hands anymore... they must use a gun/knife /bat... etc.... sometimes you get to the point were someone innocent does get her for being at the wrong place at the wrong time... but that is life.. and we as people have to live with the choses we make ... sometimes you have no option... some times you have to do the wrong thing cause thats they only thing you can do .... its a do or die situation ..

[spunky393]

completely agreed
