Fools have a compulsion to shoot a living being. He would lie on my front terrace and grin at the world. Passersby would stop and talk to him. A 14-year old firearm fool with a loaded .22 had the quaint notion to fire down his open throat and then went blithely on his way. End of Chum.
Senseless killing is old stuff and it hurts most when the victims are little kids.
What we did then was not senseless.
