One rainy night five years ago, he left home, leaving his mentally disabled son afflicted by Agent Orange. His son-in-law was a gambler. He was in so deep that he turned to loan sharks for cash, borrowing so much he could not pay them back. Gangsters visited by uncle's house and threatened the entire family. When my uncle finally had enough, he chose to commit suicide. These kinds of stories are not unheard of in our country. Gambling addiction is real and it is vicious. It's all too easy to get lost in the sounds of music, the cheers of fellow gamblers, of shuffling cards and rolling dice. It brings out the worst in people. Once the money starts to flow, there is little that can stop it. A gambler will eventually take his or her family down with them, sooner or later. We Vietnamese are taught to cover for our family and the people we love. Gamblers will use that love to bring the people they care about to ruin. Ho Chi Minh City now wants to allow casinos in major tourist … [Read more...] about Indecent proposal: allowing 18-year-olds to gamble a bad idea

The gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, also sent a message on Tuesday saying he was going to shoot his grandmother and another one confirming he had done so, Abbott said at a news conference. Ramos' grandmother, whom the suspect shot in the face shortly before attacking the school, survived and called police. Ramos gave no warning except the online posts.
