It is with sad news I hear of a 16 year old boy who has been stabbed by another boy and died. This happened only a few miles from where I live. Such a young life and now gone. I wonder if this young lad had a girlfriend and whether he had felt the love of a first love. I'm guessing the perpetrator has no understanding of how the weight of justice will now sit on his shoulders. How for the next 10 years at least he will be in custody and not be given the chance to grow up with his friends. Go to discos, get drunk and play football. Or whether he was one of those misguided youngsters who was in a gang and thought defending his territory, street cred and stupid gang alliance was what mattered. No doubt the full details will come out over the next few days. Whatever those details are they will be depressive. Society will ask for it's pound of flesh and he will learn about this very soon.
I wonder if he is sitting in his police cell and crying, whether he has remorse, or if he is there sitting in silence not knowing or guessing the consequences of his action.
