If it’s one thing that truly angers me, it’s seeing young life cut down senselessly. Whether it’s on some foreign battle field or a street at home, the result is still the same — somebody’s child is gone.
It’s particularly shocking when you see kids who are doing the right thing. Today, three college students are dead and another wounded after being victims of an attempted robbery.
All four were to attend Delaware State University this fall. Instead, today, we mourn the deaths of Terrance Aeriel, 18, Iofemi Hightower, 20, and Dashon Harvey, 20. Natasha Ariel is currently hospitalized after being shot in the head by one of the assailants.
At present, no suspects have been named and a $50,000 reward has been posted for information leading to the arrests of those involved.
So, I sit here angry, knowing that three kids who, for all we know, could have contributed greatly to society, are dead today because some persons (and I use the term loosely) thought so little of their lives that they took them without thought.
