What Is a Life Worth?

The continuing saga of the decline of civilization unfolds in our cities. Rogers Park man killed his girlfriend, possibly in a dispute over $80: prosecutors - CWB Chicago

This was supposedly someone he cared for. How would he feel about the life of a total stranger?

A Chicago man beat his girlfriend to death inside his Rogers Park apartment on Monday, possibly because she used $80 of his money to buy unprescribed Xanax pills, prosecutors said. Judge Susana Ortiz held Fostelle Hymon, 26, without bail during a bond hearing on Wednesday afternoon.

And this wasn't, as he said, a single slap.

But the medical examiner determined that the woman suffered extensive injuries in a violent assault, including broken ribs, a fractured larynx and hyoid bone, contusions across her face and body, and lacerations of her liver, kidney, and spleen.

But then life means nothing. Life before birth. Life after birth. The only thing that matters in the 21st Century are your feelings. The other person's life? Not worth $80. Not worth $10? Man convicted of killing woman over $10 debt

A Hammond man was convicted Friday of gunning down a Gary woman over a $10 marijuana debt.

Civilization was nice while it lasted.
