It seems that many people are not concerned about the night this Kid died..but every evening that i was going to bible study at the kingdom hall on Bells Ferry Rd. i would look and glance at the Flowers the victim’s love ones left. I feel so Depressed like if it was mine own son. I’m sad that we live in a society..where people have no natural affection towards anyone.
