Aprašymas

On the night of November 19th, 2010, an unarmed and disabled man named Tommy Mullins was shot and killed by his neighbor from the point-blank distance of thirteen feet. The justice system failed to prosecute the killer, despite the absence of a threat to the killer's safety. A good man died because a neighbor chose to cold-bloodedly shoot a man who had simply come over from next door to ask for his garage-door opener back.

In The Ending, Joan Mullins, the mother of Tommy Mullins, challenges the justice system's decision not to bring the case to trial despite the evidence that her defenseless son was deliberately murdered, and asks society to consider the insanity of allowing citizens to "shoot fi rst and ask questions later." The author also shares great memories and photographs from her son's life, revealing the tragic real-life sadness that accompanies the reckless and cruel taking of another person's life.

Endings come to us all, and are always sad. Endings which are not natural or accidental, however, are nightmares.
