Internet and social media are of a great use but like every other thing, these also have their pros and cons and the bitter truth of social media is that it can even take a human life or at least proves to be a threat on it. Don’t believe us?
Recently, a very shocking incident has come to light wherein two teenage boys, both 16, tried to kill a 14-yr girl by shooting her in the head just because ‘her SnapChats were annoying’. I mean, really? Where is the world heading? Why so much impatience among the teenagers and youth of today?
The accused have been identified as Jayzen Decker and Colter Danny Peterson and they will be facing the courts in Utah, US, as adults. It was alleged that they planned and performed the horrifying incident of shooting the teenager named Deserae Turner. She almost lost her life after Peterson shot her in the head & left her to die near Smithfield.
However, her missing report was lodged and two ladies from the search team discovered the girl which ultimately led to her survival. As per the prosecutors, Jayzen conspired the plot to ‘get rid of’ Turner because the boy was ‘annoyed’, as she used to text him.
Earlier, the guys made plans of slitting her throat after which she would have eventually died due to bleeding; nevertheless, they cancelled it and made up mind of shooting her later.
Quite surprisingly, one of them even collected a souvenir from this assault and it was nothing else but a shell casing. The duo is charged with attempted aggravated murder and might be sentenced imprisonment for up to 15 years.
As far as the victim is concerned, she cannot recall anything about the terrifying happening and is suffering from partial blindness as well as paralysis on her body’s left side.
Isn’t it disgusting, ridiculous and absence of patience to plan the murder of someone just because her texts annoyed the boy? Had she not been so lucky, her parents would have lost her. What is your take over the matter? What kind of a punishment is apt to teach the boys the lesson of a lifetime?
