Although this addition was at the end of January I felt obligated to include it.

outside the apartment complex. A few doors down, Simmons lay on the ground with gunshot wounds. Simmons, a former student at Stall High School, was pronounced dead at Medical University Hospital at 9:08 p.m.

Thank you, Tom. I've printed this and added it to the display case at TCC.
I know it's sad work, but I want to encourage you to keep publishing a Butcher's Bill. This information NEEDS to be out in the open.
I do worry about it becoming a bit morbid. But so be it.
Some people say we are asking for special rights. That laws are already in place for such things.
I don't expect those people to listen or hear, but the ones who hear that side need to hear our side also.
There side is full of words and speculation.
Our side is full of death and injury!
It's odd how it all works out.
The oppressors haven't learned, when you think a life is unworthy by taking it away, you create a martyr.
The lives of those who have been taken will not be in vain!
