When a Laughter Became Very Costly.

What really is this world turning into? A few days ago in Gary, Indiana, a man returned home to discover that the place had been burglarized by some unknown burglar(s). Naturally, he felt violated by the incident. The man was said to be very upset and going on the street, knocking on doors of neighbors to inquire about possible identification of the perpetrators of the crime.

At that moment, a 13-year-old boy named Kobe Jones, who was sitting on a porch, reportedly burst into a raucous laughter as the victim of burglary went about yelling over his loss. And in a violent reaction to the boy’s laughter which he considered very disrespectful, the man reached for his gun and shot the boy nine times. The boy died instantly. The man has since been arrested.
