Guns take another good person

Donnie Chin was sitting in his car about to leave to help settle a dispute between two families. He was shot and killed. It is believed he was not the target.
He is being called the heart of the International District in Seattle. He founded the International District Emergency Center which has been his life 24/7 - helping people.

"For almost 50 years, Donnie Chin would don his khaki uniform and offer whatever he had — his food, his protection, his money or his time — to people in the Chinatown International District.

When he was just a junior-high-schooler, Chin started tuning into a police radio in an effort to help his beloved neighborhood. He beat ambulances and police cruisers to those in need — more than once performing CPR until formal help arrived."

We are losing so many good people to our gun culture. We are at the tip of chaos because nothing will ever change and it is likely too late now.
