Pull the ripchord, the ship has lost its sail.

There is a kid I know from high school who is currently in jailing for selling oxycontin to a kid who OD'd on it. Wow, it's weird to think that I sat in classes with him. I never took him to be the kind of guy who would intentionally hurt someone. He just seemed like your average pot head teenager. If he is convicted then he has the possibility of spending twenty years in jail. He's 19. 39 when he would be released. Wow. It makes me cry to think about, in all honesty. We weren't friends or anything of the sort, but this is a kid who made a dumb mistake and will possibly pay for it for 20 years. There are people who say he made his bed and now he has to lie in it. But, twenty years is a long time. Yes, the other kid is dead, but should two lives be destroyed? Weird. Life takes us so many different places. He is going to have to grow up quickly. This is too weird.

I'm sorry you cried. It really is an awful thing to happen. I'm praying for him becuase it seems like there is nothing else I can do.
