I was surprised that the article didn't reference Romeo and Juliet. I suppose human nature stays much the same throughout the generations.... I'm just glad that no one died.
In a way, this is a shock to me - I've always found Romeo and Juliet to be incredibly unrealistic. The concept of two families having a shooting match over two teenagers dating is just so strange to me.

The concept of two people falling in love and killing themselves over the loss of one another after about two weeks of knowing each other is kinda unrealistic to me. But hey, we all have our own versions of reality I suppose Posts: 3003 | Registered: Oct 2004

Well? The faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorn (may her hooves never be shod) is based on nothing but logic : Since we can't see her, she must be Invisible. And it should be clear to any child that She is Pink, or She wouldn't be the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

When bullets tore though the mobile home where she slept in this neighborhood of mostly Mexican immigrants, Anna Diaz said she scooped up her little cousin and hid him in a closet.
"I didn't want him to get hit," the 14-year-old Pierson girl said by cell phone Monday from her Halifax Medical Center hospital bed, groggy from medication after surgery to remove a bullet from her back.
Diaz was one of seven people wounded when a long-standing feud between the Riojas family and the members of the Ortiz and Soliz families -- in what a sheriff's major described as a "Romeo and Juliet" episode -- erupted in gunfire Sunday. The pre-dawn gun battle was preceded by two encounters Saturday night, said Putnam County sheriff's Maj. Rick Ryan.
