Nothing Special
Hey everyone, a little tired from work last night, and not looking forward to it tonight. But anyhow, I learned a bit of interesting news last night from the dish pit. Turns out that one of the people sitting in the cafe had been a local man tried for murder. I hadn’t even heard of the case, but this is what I was told:
A group of kids were out joy riding in a pickup, even though its illegal for people to sit in the bed they were having fun. Something happened, like they took a corner too fast or something and someone fell out onto a guys lawn. The others giggled as the one who fell clambered back up into the pick up bed. Well, turns out the guy who lived there didn’t take too kindly to ‘trespassers’, and must have shot into the group. One of the members was supposed to have cried out in pain, and the others found that she had took a bullet to the chest. Now, the girl was 14/16, and she did not survive from the shot. The owner of the yard was charged but got off due to lack of evidence or some such nonsense.
After looking around the internet I found a website that spoke of how he had been charged with other offences, not including this one. It also gave clearer insight as to what happened. Now, it will be edited for anonymity, and I am sorry, but I will not give the website, as I cannot edit it for anonymity.
“There was also controversy after a 16-year-old girl was shot to death on [man]’s farm in June 1999.[Girl] had been with a group of teens joyriding at the property when shots rang out. [boy], 19, was injured.
However, RCMP were unable to determine who owned the gun used in the shooting and no charges were ever laid.”
Now the creepiest part of finding out about this is that I was the only person working as a counterperson at the time, and he was one of the few customers in there at the time. But me being me (come on, I found a dead body before), I continued on with my work as if I had learned nothing. I mean, there was nothing I could do anyhow, so why get worked up about it?
The great thing about work last night was that I made about $10 in tips, compared to the usual $2.50, I was happy.
Well…it might be a little bit before I can update the blog again, as tonight afterwork I am driving home to see my parents and will be there until Monday.
