If Only...

Teen Shot To Death Walking Home From School

A 17-year-old Roxbury boy was killed after being shot multiple times while walking home from school Wednesday afternoon.

Police continued to canvass the area and went door-to-door questioning potential witnesses Wednesday evening. At least 6 shell casings could be seen in the road where police were investigating along with at least 13 cones, marking evidence.


Gee, if only those shell casings were "microstamped" with the firearm's serial number. Then, all the police would have to do is trace it back to the gun shop that sold it and arrest the 16-year-old gang member who purchased it there.

How people who think like that can function as living organisms without constantly hurting themselves is beyond my grasp.
