June 8, 2007 -- The short, troubled life of a drug-dealing Harlem midget came to a violent end yesterday when he was gunned down while guzzling beer and shooting dice outside a housing project.
Cops found a huge .380-caliber pistol in the waistband of little person Joshua Agard, 18, along with 15 vials of crack that he was peddling while hanging out in a courtyard with pal Manuel Zabater, who was also killed in the attack.
"He was just so big. So [I thought], how much could he get into?" said distraught neighbor Debra Daniels, 61. "He was a good person. I loved him."
Though Agard was just 3 feet tall, he had a police record a mile long. So far this year, he had been busted twice, once on assault charges for throwing a bottle at a man's head and once for trespassing when he was caught inside 425 E. 105th St. He also had two other arrests, cops said.

I saw it on television. Life is tough, for those without money and/or education. The mean streets are tough.
However, it's very interesting. I recently read an article that described how Harlem has taken a turn for the better.

we could consistently be all in favour of the Mexican drug conflict. it could purely be a count of time earlier it spills over into our u . s .. There have already been situations of armed incursion into our territory with the aid of those transporting drugs. For those people who stay in border cities this could be a real challenge. there have been many drug appropriate killings in Tijuana, and for those people who stay in the San Diego area, it incredibly is close adequate for challenge. yet another challenge is the thought of rights. Do you have self belief that your rights are inherent, and not bestowed upon you with the aid of the government, or that your rights are granted with the aid of the government? in case you have self belief the latter then you definately've made your self a challenge of the government, and not a loose citizen to which the government could be responsible. the 2nd substitute does not grant us the excellent to endure palms. The founding fathers seen the excellent to endure palms to be an inalienable marvelous, and positioned the 2nd substitute there as a reminder to destiny generations, and to make certain that it wasn't infringed upon.

Yes we do live in a sick society. I am afraid I am sick too for two reasons. One; I am curious how a .380 could be considered huge, I guess size is relative. Two; if they make a movie aout this little guy I will go see it.
