9yo Bremerton shooting victum leaves hospital

Some positive news! The little girl who was accidently shot by a classmate who brought a gun to school got to go home this week!

Over five surgeries, she has been on the operating table for 16 hours. She needed 30 units of blood -- her entire blood volume. She is without a gall bladder, and the largest vein in her body is destroyed. A metal plate holds her shattered elbow together. She has months of physical therapy ahead of her and the bullet remains lodged near her spine and she also still has a feeding tube in her stomach.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
