'Stupid, senseless act' kills teen
On October 7th, a stabbing on a Surrey bus ride claimed the life of an 18 year old boy. Jamie Kehoe was unwillingly caught in the middle of two women fighting when a big, black individual came and slashed Jamie's throat.
Reading this article gave me mixed feelings, most of which were coming from the sickness in my stomach. This isn't your average news story you hear about gang violence and rival gangs killing eachother. If it was, I'd feel more comfortable knowing that another arrogant gang banger had been shot dead in the streets. But when I hear on the news that a beloved young highschool graduate died like a slaughtered pig due to some ignorant highschool dropouts' eager lust for violence, well that kind of pisses me off. It pisses me off knowing that someone with absolutley no future took away someone else's life and is currently getting away with it.
What makes this news worth knowing? To show people the consequences made by the actions of society's irresponsible and immoral adolesence. Reading this should make some people think twice about pulling out a knife on some complete stranger trying to avoid a fight. Perhaps they will consider whose lives they might affect before making a "stupid, senseless act."
