Crime seems to haunt even my own home town. Two major robberies have recently been unveiled. One that has been harboring for years by a local and trusted man, the other by two masked gunmen.
The most recent horror is that of murder of a young Brooklyn boy by the name of Leiby Kletzky.
Leiby was a young boy who lost his way as he walked home from camp. Innocelt and naive, he asks a stranger for direction. However, it is just his luck, if that's what we can call it, that the man he asked is a child predator. Instead of guiding Leiby in the right direction, this man, Levi Aron, took Leiby home, murdered him, and dismembered his body.
Is that what this boy deserved? Is that way anybody deserves?
And to think that we are all human, one in the same, yet we wrong each other so? Is this what the human race has come to?
Sure, we don't all murder (thank God that is the extreme) but we do wrong one another in many other ways.
I think it's time this be a wake up call. We may not be one of the "Levi Arons" of this world but we do have our faults. In memory of young, innocent Leiby Kletzky it's time we work on those faults and strive to become better people.
