Simple days are long gone for Jason Soula. He made that choice for himself, and everyone else for that matter, one night on July 14th, 2006 at around 11:24 pm. It was a Friday. Four dead and another seven wounded. One might say for good reason; another might say for no reason at all. My aim here, as someone who had dealt with the aftermath of this mess, and as one with the most information, is to let you draw your own conclusions about this story, with the same stories I'd drawn my own. A story about a kid that can't quite explain some things, seven people that didn't have a thing to do with him, the four that did no wrong, and the one that got away-the one really behind this. Before we can understand this mess, we have to start with who I am and how I got into this situation to begin with. My name is Benjamin Montana. Most just call me Ben.

That's it.
