This past week there has been one murder in Albany that has become a huge deal. A kid was shoot in the head on a corner of a small intersection. Now this is one of nine murders that have happened in Albany this year. Now a couple on this list include the deaths of 16-year-old Keynon Hawkins; Bobby Jones, 26; and Victor Anderson, 25 who were all shot in the head by one man. Another murder that has taken place in the last year is the murder of Nathan Walcott, who was fatally shot inside 11 Judson St. Aug 3 while helping a D.J. at a house party. Both of these murders have been given little press and conversation. But this murder of a suny Albany student has been given a lot of press and talked about by a lot of people I know. Now I personally feel that all these murders are sad things but I don’t see why people are more hurt or surprised when a college student gets killed then when a local gets murdered. I just feel that a college student’s life is not any more important then anyone else’s.
