How's about a "Like" for Daniel?

strider · August 2012

Monday morning there was a shooting at the high school that I went to. An obviously troubled and misguided 15 year old brought a broken down shotgun to school, hiding it in a bag in the bathroom. First lunch period of the first day of classes, he retrieves the bag, puts the gun together and makes his way towards the cafeteria. He was able to get one shot off before being tackled by guidance counselor. The round hit a young man named Daniel, a 17 year old special needs student, in the back. Never had done anything to the shooter, nor probably anyone else, in his life. He's still listed in critical condition at Maryland's Shock Trauma, but he is strong and is improving daily.

Here's where the "Like" request comes in: Daniel loves Lady Gaga. Has a suitcase packed at all times so he is ready to travel to California to marry her. Someone's started a Facebook page to try and get Lady Gaga to visit him. Everybody knows it's a longshot, she's a big celebrity with a ridiculous schedule etc. Maybe someone on her team will see the page and Gaga will call him, or send him an autographed picture, whatever. Right now they have about 12k likes, the Twitter feed is trending as 3rd most popular right now.

If you have a second and are on Facebook, please take a second to "Like" the page. I think it'd mean the world to Daniel.
