The entire town has an opinion & I'm stuck on the other side.

Well once again my tiny little town is making the big time news - and not in a good way. We had a fatal stabbing here yesterday morning and I am still in shock. I know both of the people involved and it's horrible from both sides. It's made so much worse by people's attitudes. They've all decided on a verdict without any details. No-one seems to realize that it was a messed up situation that had tragic results but it could have been anyone. The victim isn't an angel by any means and as far as I see it he brought it on himself. Of course I feel horrible and I'm going to miss him but Bobby's life is forever ruined and it's like rats deserting a sinking ship. All of a sudden he's this horrible monster whose never done any good which is a load of crap. It was a stupid fight that got out of hand and I wish more people would just..... I'm not even sure what. Maybe just keep their opinions to themselves until ALL the details are in. And realize that it could have happened to them as easy as it happened to Arek & Bobby. I've tried to mention that to a few " friends" and got flack for it. I might have even lost one friend who can't seem to understand why I don't just agree to take Bobby and shoot him. I'm so dissappointed in people. Not just Arek & Bobby but most of the whole town.

I don't really know the real story but I think you are right. Sometimes when a person do crimes it's has reasons why it happens. We may never understand it but to those who do it...it's right thing to do no matter how wrong. Bobby do something that is horrible and people judge according to what they see in the situation. It's human's characteristic always been from the very start.

I'm sorry you lost someone you knew...the victim of the stabbing. People start thinking things about people before they even know all the details. I hate that happens that way but a lot of people are like that. I hope you didn't lose a friend just because they don't agree with your way of thinking. It probably would be better if everyone just kept their comments to themselves until everyone knows all the details.
