In the Arms of an Angel Christine Hester

I am so sure that children who join gangs have no idea of the heartache and pain that a split second decision they make can and will cause others! I am not only referring to the family and friends of their victims, but what about their own family and friends? How do they live their lives without their loved ones? Because in most cases, justice will prevail and they will be caught or possibly killed. So why must their family and friends go on living with the incredible pain and grief of losing a loved one, just because of a split second decision? A decision that may have brought that individual a moment of excitement and a moment of feeling important because they killed a cop? I have to feel that these children who join gangs have no idea of the outcome that their decision could cause. Because I refuse to believe that there is anyone in this world, young or old, who would deliberately, for no reason, cause so much pain by knowingly taking another life!
