NATURE SUBMISSION:
His mother always said you solved more problems with words than with fists. But his was not a peaceful nature, and after years of unanswered abuses, he was unwilling to sit by and do nothing.
The bomb exploded on the night of May 1st, 1997. One person was killed, another injured. Both security guards.
His lawyer would argue that the deaths were tragic accidents, that he'd thought the building would be empty. The truth was he hadn't cared.
Now he's in jail, no chance for parole. Nature is still being destroyed, and he hasn't seen a tree in many years.
