Letter to the Editor

Shooting suspect had been jumped before

Friday, June 22, 2012

To the editor:

I am writing in reference to the article where a 17-year-old (allegedly) shot another man. What police are not considering is that the three men have repeatedly jumped this boy.

Yes, a 17-year-old is a boy; nobody was there to help him when he needed their help. So when he was approached again, he felt threatened again of him harming him. When he pulled out the gun, the man ran, and he panicked; that is why he had bullets in his back.

But again, who protected him? NO ONE.

I truly believe God will be the final judge. Someone must stand by this boy. He needs prayer because he will suffer the rest of his life if he truly did this.

Thank you.
