Streets of Blood 2

Maria giggled as she played with her doll

while sitting on a sofa. The TV blared loudly

but her attention was only upon her playing.

A beautiful smile radiated from her face and

charged the atmosphere of the room with

happiness.

Maria’s mom was in the kitchen, cooking a

late dinner, while her father was just getting

home. Her tio and tia would be joining them

tonight to discuss their plans for the upcoming

holidays.

Maria’s nine year old brother Pedro walked by

and quickly tugged upon one of the pigtails of

Maria’s doll. “Stop it,” said Maria as she covered

up her doll with a hug. The cartoons had come on

and Maria made herself comfortable, in order to

watch them.

Everyone was in the kitchen, when Maria’s

seventeen year old brother came in to the

house with a couple of his teenage friends.

They quickly went into her brother’s room.

Not even fifteen minutes later, the sound of

automatic weapons fire shattered the happy

scene, of a little girl and her doll enjoying her

favorite cartoons.

Maria’s dad ran into the room, but it was too

late. As he entered the room he saw little Maria’s

body convulse as bullet after bullet entered her

body. Everything that mattered flashed before

his eyes as Maria’s body lurched forward still

holding her doll until she hit the floor.

Bullets meant for her teenage brother had

now claimed the little girl’s life. Without a

warning, an unthinking, unfeeling, coward

had destroyed the life of an innocent child.

At the funeral the priest will offer up prayers

for little Maria, and in Heaven her little arms will

still be holding her doll. This is the reason that

drive-by shootings should never happen.

Somewhere a coward will celebrate, until he

finds out that it was a child which he killed. Then

he will hang his head in shame, because he knows

he will be hated and despised for the rest of his life,

because although God may forgive - La Raza never

forgets!

The lives of little children are precious and that is why
drive-by shootings should never happen!
