No City for Old Men


My high school friend Zach Sowers died yesterday from a beating he sustained on June 1st 2007. He has been in a vegetative coma since that night when he was brutally and senselessly assaulted outside his home in Baltimore. My other high school friend Justin Bright has an emotional and exhaustive blog about the attack here. Zach was such an unassuming and good natured guy, it's just hard to fathom that he was murdered. So, so sad.

Yesterday a 35 year old starbucks manager was beaten to death at an el stop in Center City Philadelphia at 3 in the afternoon.

What kind of society produces an individual capable of these unspeakable attacks?
