it also made me think about rwanda oklahoma city and bosnia-herzegovina but now this is the saddest story a few years ago in liverpool england (a humble working-class city like queens, i imagine) a 3 year old boy was murdered near a train track and they found out the killers were two 8 year old boy neighbors who tortured him for no apparent reason just for laughs, and when they were done they killed him i remember the sick look on my wife's face when she told me this, there was nothing i could say about it this wasn't cute news for jay leno to tell jokes about it kind of made everything around us just look sickening my wife was so upset she still can't hear about it and she never, ever, ever, ever got over it the thing that got to her most was that the last glimpse anybody had of the little child he was being led by the boy killers along the train tracks crying as he was walking and he was clutching their hands as they led them clutching their hands in fear along the train tracks clutching the hands of the boys who would kill him
clutching the hands of the chicken wire mother
