This is horrible. I work with kids, and all too often I see the names of current or former kids of mine in the crime logs, whether as criminals or corpses.
My preference is that we live slow, die old, and don't care about what the corpse looks like, so long as there are lots of wrinkles from smiling for good reasons.
What makes people think that their lives and others' lives can be bartered for a moment's worth of pride or a two-hour high?
