victims of stray bullets in the last ten years
listen to the victims
Between a “stray bullet” and a reckless decision, lives are lost and families are shattered in the spiral of uncontrolled weapons. This platform, therefore, goes beyond mere archiving; it serves as a space to document the stories of victims who paid the price of chaos with their dreams and their blood. From here, we dive into the heart of the crisis to examine the absent legal responsibility, the missing educational and religious roles, and finally the psychological analysis that unveils the reckless mindset that pulls the trigger without justification.
It is important to emphasize that this research does not address weapons from the perspective of “resistance” at all. Its title carries a hint of dark irony to challenge the common saying that “a weapon is a man’s adornment.” A weapon may be considered an adornment when used for resistance, but here it is a tool of crime and recklessness. Although the illustrations accompanying the stories are featureless—to reflect the reality that anyone could be the next victim—all that is recounted here is drawn from real-life stories of real people, giving them a voice to confront society with the truth: a bullet fired “without reason” is a premeditated crime.
I no longer hear her voice. Black smoke blinded my eyes, and I found myself thrown and Salmah on the ground... I entered a room that I saw for the first time, painted with red and white drops, without walls, without windows.. The scene took me five minutes to realize that it was Mom's room
Explore the psychological impact of loss
Sami arrived at my feet and his red shirt was wet, he closed his green eyes and dropped his hands so the chocolate cake, my favorite dessert that I prepared for him, fell. I heard them talking about a stray bullet that infiltrated from one of the weddings
Do we celebrate lead or killing?
The stairs went down all at once to see my beloved father thrown to the ground, and a pile of flesh flowing from him.. Someone hit him by mistake because he came out to reject injustice.. Dreams evaporated on a random day
Where is the right of the oppressed in a state of weapons?
I became a wanted man on a charge of arms dealing.. The lack pushed me, and my mother's crying while we were hungry.. I escaped like a rat from one hole to another.. Will the state guarantee my rights if I retreat?
The bullet that returns to the earth does not choose its victim but you have the option to stop it with your conscience
