She said she had been unable to see punishment imposed on her son's killer, Zachary Fenderson, who had found his ex-girlfriend with Mr. St. Hilaire one night, because Mr. Fenderson immediately shot and killed himself.


----Will that gun be "killed" too? I mean, I am sorry her son was killed ( I am not heartless) because I lost a husband and a baby boy to a drunk driver, but seeing the car destoyed that did hit and killed them, would NOT have done a thing but send the wrong message. THE driver/shooter killed them/her son. Not the objects that were used to do it. I have a gun and 2 cars, and I am responsible with all of them.

First of all, I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Secondly, you're exactly right. This kind of thing makes about as much sense as destroying a piece of industrial equipment that someone was injured or killed by.

I wonder if at some point they'll be having a day for people to destroy knives used in stabbings, or baseball bats used in clubbings.

Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter if this sort of thing actually accomplishes anything. As long as it makes people feel good, that's all that matters.
