Why Do I Read the Paper?

I read a story in the newspaper yesterday that has me just shaking my head.  It’s a story that makes me wonder what the world, or at least my world, is coming to on just so many different levels.

It seems this guy, Daniel, age 39, had been out jogging and was headed home.  Before he made it there, however, he was ambushed by Carlos, age 24.  Carlos shot Daniel multiple times and, of course, Daniel was pronounced dead at the hospital.  The police arrested Carlos at his workplace the next day and booked him on a first-degree murder charge.

Now, if that isn’t bad enough, guess what the reason for this deadly ambush was?  No, it wasn’t a gang thing or a drug deal gone bad.  It was a crime of passion.  Yeah, I know, so what’s new?  Those happen all the time.  That’s true, they do, but hear (read) me out.

It seems Carlos was upset that Daniel was having an affair with Carlos’ girlfriend who is also the mother of his child.  I don’t know what the girlfriend’s name is because the paper couldn’t print it.  She’s 15-years-old.

What the Hell?

    15 ? Should he be in jail already for statutory rape ? Then maybe he wouldn’t have murdered anyone. Notice I said maybe. That is messed up.
