It’s not either/or.
One can lament accidental loss of young life as well as dying for one’s country.
I can do it at the same time.
As can I....with a negligible level of compassion for the consequence of illegal and reckless activity in this incident as opposed to those whose life is lost in unselfish service to country.
Also at the same time -- see I can multi task -- am amazed at the excessive attention and concern expressed by the Media and some folks in this forum.
I can't help but suspect motive -- in how the Media can dwell on a death such as this -- and nearly ignore the horrific deaths of innocents murdered on a daily basis by thugs -- usually black like this kid, against both black and white victims.
