Yet Another Day...

With a sad report...Tazer friend Corky Booze reported that two more young people were shot overnight, south side of Richmond....UPDATE: The two young people who were shot have been upgraded and are expected to make it.

I'm not sure at what level this has or has not made the news, but it is unfortunate nonetheless.

The Tazer had an opportunity to speak with the cousin of the young man who was killed Sunday night. This is a good woman with a small business all the way in Santa Rosa, who is simply trying to get answers as to the details of her cousins' death.

I have to tell you, I felt myself fill with rage and anger as I listened to this woman tell me what happend and how little she's been able to get done. Luckily, I believe that the many friends of the Tazer will be able to help her out. BTW, this young man was coming downstairs with an Easter dinner plate when he was shot. The young lady who was with him was hit in the leg, just off of a vital bone.

I think one statement out of the whole conversation will stick with me more than any other: She mentioned that another family member had spoke with the young man not too long before he was killed, and mentioned that he should think about taking out insurance on himself because he was living in Richmond.

I hope all of you in power who read the Tazer and don't have enough sand to respond read this over and over again...comments like these are a direct result of your inability to be effective. Congrats.

    Seriously, what do you say to that? When simply living in Richmond is cause enough for an insurance policy, things have hit bottom.

    Watch the city council find a way to dig UNDER that!
