Hi all

I found out yesterday that I guy I went to elemtary school was murdered on Friday night. He was beaten with a shovel and ran over. I guess I should clarify, I barely knew the guy then and might not have even recognized him if I saw him.

I just can't comprehend how people can beat someone to death with a shovel. I lay awake in bed last night wondering the thoughts that must have been running through his head, how helpless he must of felt, the pain...I just don't get it.

I don't want to live in a world like this. I am NOT contimplating suicide, I just want the world to be a better place.

I live in a pretty small town with many small towns around it, I'd say within 45 min driving. This kind of thing rarely happens around here. And it's kind of a shock to hear that it was someone I interacted with as a child. And it was in a different, smaller, town where I lived with my mom for many years. In fact, I used to work shift work and would come home and go for a walk at 3:00 am or 6:00 am.

i don't think you are too sensitive at all. it is a shame that the world we live is such a violent place, where no one is really safe alone. sending comforting hugs to you.....
