My nephew's friend was shot to death in Denver, Colorado

He was walking home from a convenience store, shot for no reason. No real leads. He was an organ donor, so he'll live on. There is so little reason for some things. I didn't know him, but I am so sad that we lost this young man, sad for his family, his parents, his friends, this country, the world.

Every city dependent on tourism will suffer from the negligence by enablers of the NRA agenda.
