Stuff that makes you pause and reflect on everything
I didn't know this kid (had met him at a couple of dinners and stuff is all), but I knew his parents, they are friends of the family. Kid goes out night before his 24rd birthday. Gets involved in some sort of incident, apparently not involving any strangers. All details are murky. The next day, his parents see him at the coroner's, dead from a gunshot wound to the heart. Crazy $hit.

That is terrible. Early death is always terrible.
I'm not a religious man in any way, but I think there's a phrase that says it all: 'when a parent buries a child, even God weeps'

Re: Stuff that makes you pause and reflect on everything
I do a lot of wild crazy [censored], but one rule I have in my life is "Don't be friends with people who carry guns."
I am sorry to hear about your loss though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Stuff that makes you pause and reflect on everything
I didn't know the kid and I don't know his parents well either. Only reason I know about this is my parents told me. So, it's not something that really impacts me directly. But it's the sort of thing (non-high-profile murder) that you see in the paper/news everyday and don't really think about it. Or at least I don't much. Knowing who it was, even if it wasn't someone I really knew, just makes it strike so much closer to home. Crazy how in an instant multiple lives that were going so well get destroyed. Right now it's sounding like there were drinks, arguing, and guns involved among people who all knew each other, but details are still very sketchy.
