Random act.

A man walks into a dinner. a stressed, drunk robber, pulls the trigger. Girl of thirteen, assaulted in a alley, the man that had her trapped, showed no mercy. A cop, sold stuff, he believed won't be missed. Only to end up, in a cage, of steel and concrete. Random act, on random days and random streets. The heading on the news and what we tweet. The cop sold the gun, to a gang member who used it, for a rape and murder. The grieving father, on his way to work the one to die, that day, in that dinner. Drunk and homeless, swears a man drop the gun, as he ran, from that alley. Random act, on random days and random streets. If we are to believe this tweet? Never will we see, the random act of one multiplied, connected to three.

I couldn't agree more with your comment "One man's actions can affect so many", that is so true especially in our day.
Nicely penned!

Wow this is really amazing! Seriously gave me goosebumps, its a thriller and a mystery and it finishes so brutally! ;) I think in life sometimes we fail to realize that everything er do have a sort of snowball effect. There would be a lot less selfish people in the world if everyone realized it. Guess thats the cyclic nature of things though unfortunately. Very well written. Very clever, I thoroughly enjoyed!

Thank you, and yes the ending is sudden and abrupt. I tried to emphasize the point that you made. Unfortunately this is a cold hard reality of live. So glad that it came true, and made sense.
