Senseless murders

Two days ago, on Friday night, my neighbour Pepe (39 years old) was killed right before my very eyes and his wife's. Someone shot him 6 times in the back and then took off running, killing him almost instantly.



A "friend" and business partner payed someone to kill him, just for money: with Pepe dead, he gets all the enterprise's profits and earnings.



Pepe and his wife and three sons: 17, 13 and 1 year old. This idiot has destroyed a whole family just for money, not to name Pepe's parents, brothers, sisters....



What am trying to understand is what happened....how can people be so damn cruel? How can they just kill someone for money?? No debts, no fights....just coz he wanted all the benefits, he goes and pays someone to kill his own friend and business partner....I don't understand it, I really don't. With my neighbour's murder, we already have 49 murders here in my town in the last 2 years....



And not just my neighbour....this has happened to a lot more people....



Sorry to post such a thread, but this topic has been eating at me a lot....and now that I've seen my own neighbour get killed right in front of me, it gets even more to me, makes it even more real, not just something that you hear, but something that's really happening.

Hey sis.



Like Val, i can't make this go away and i can't give you answers, there are none. None that i can think of anyway.



What i can do though is be here for you, always. You know that whenever you need to talk i'm right here for you.



You said yourself you're stubborn, you know you can get through this and i'm right here to help.



I love you sis

Vero, I am very sorry you had to see or go through something so horrible. It must be devastating and I wish you strength and the ability to make it through this, as I do the family as well.



Being very cynical this comes as no surprise to me. Humans are often not far removed from their baser instincts, and to many life is not sacred at all, but very cheap and something not worth considering. Many just have no empathy or compassion whatsoever. It is sad, but the record of the evil that humans do to one another almost makes the need for such creatures as demons and vampires unnecessary, we can be so much worse. At least there are some who are good and kind and I hope you find more of them instead.



Best wishes,



Garner

At my bedroom



I’m not sure how I’m going with this but I’ll just write what I feel now.And I was chatting with you on that night when it happen...I guess you could see how I was speechless about it, because in fact I felt shocking that it happened with you too. I mean we were just having a normal day, right? and then...it happened.



Your words make me think about how we’ve traveled this far yet we’re still hurting each other like animals (and maybe it’s the fact that we are animal? )



We have religions, belief, faith and love but still these aren’t helping any for humankind because we also have hate, anger, and despair too. And people always say something about balance between black and white but right now, I think the black is going to take over everything.



And I don’t understand it either, the way of the world.



....



Greedy, that’s it, I think we have it in ourselves. But some of us are too greedy. My friends’ mom got killed by some of that people too. Until now, we don’t know yet who did it but the police think that it must be someone that involve in her business because there’d some people that gonna get big profit from her death ( My guess that it must be some of her partners. ) To think that someone who did that could still get away, walking around, sending a creepy shiver down to my spine. Everytime I saw this friend, I always think about what happened. I don’t know how she managed to get through this all and could smiling these days. But I guess that life goes on...everyone must get by.



Yes, it's going crazy now...



There’re other kind of violence, sin and sadness that happened, happening, and will happen. Sometime, I thought about it and found myself sick of these shit too. Such as, one of close friend suicide herself and now we still don’t know why she did that, one of my close friend got rape by her own father and she too afraid to tell anyone ( even her mom ) so he still got away with it, my cousin raped a girl and still tell me about it easily ( that ass.), or the other day ( in the news ), the senior year girl died because she accidentally got into the gangs' fight ( so did the 10 year olds boy and the 45 years old woman the other days. ) See? It’s too much and it lives right under our noses...



I could blame the society, I could blame the government, well, I could even blame the education if I want to but the fact is it’s going crazy around here. (The news about murders and rapes could be seen in every day’s newspaper. Can you believe that?)



It happened too easily. Too often. That now it seems like simple way of life...but it's wrong...we shouldn't get use to it like this.



But, then to think about it, we have to live right? Maybe for some thing better. Some thing brighter and someone that good in our lives. Maybe we could be the good part of the world. Then maybe these are the reasons to live. And I'm not sure that it's enough but I guess we have to try...



I don’t know...maybe it could be good one day, the world. If we try hard enough. ( or die and rebirth in next lifetime. )



Well, I think I got carried away. Don’t mind me. It just something that stuck inside my mind for too long.



Hehe, in fact this so out of topic and I don't even have an answer for it. Forgive me.



I’m starting to thinking about what Jonis Joplin said once again, “I don't understand why half the world is still crying, when the other half of the world is still crying too.”



You know where to find me if you wanna talk about it.

Well at least they caught him pretty quickly so hopefully he won´t get anything other than bars to look through. This is a terrible thing, I hope his wife and children can find a way to make it through this and rebuild their lives, though it will obviously never be the same. My brother´s former girlfriend had her son murdered by a guy who had beaten someone else to death a few years before. Unfortunately here you can basically murder an entire village before they throw away the key. I hope they lock up this guy for good so he won´t get another chance to destroy a life and family.

First of all I wanted to thank all of you for your replies: Val, bro, Garner, Rez and DrG....thank you very much for your support



On monday morning I went to Pepe's funeral. There were tons of people there....but you know what? A HUGE part of the people there was there just to talk and give their own versions of what happened and how he was murdered A man has been killed and a family destroyed....and what do some people do? Gossip....not stopping to think how much more they can hurt Pepe's family



Two days ago I went to the bakery....and a woman wanted to tell ME how Pepe was killed....tell ME....I went all "you IDIOT I'm the neighbour who was there what are you gonna tell me???" Damn those idiots I still have nightmares about it, I DO know and remember what happened.



I see Pepe's family every day....the lil one keeps asking about when his dad is coming home, the 13 years old is in shock, and the 17 years old can barely sleep or eat....and Elena, his wife, is really depressed....I'm doing my best trying to make them feel better but it'll take them quite some time....



And about the murderer....the one who shot him is in jail, but the one who payed him is not, the police can't find him I really wish they get him, he can't get out of this just like that, he's done something just horrible



Ok, I think I'm done....sorry again, but I needed to let this out....it's so damn much and soooo horrible....Thanks again for your support everyone
