Dalai Lama's Nephew Killed

It was Monday February 14th when the Dalai Lama’s nephew was killed on a highway. He was raising awareness for the struggle with the Taliban for the independence in china. Jigme K. Norbu was only 45. He was hit while marking the 50th anniversary of the failed Tibetan rebellion against Chinese rule. Jigme Norbu was walking down the white line of the unlit highway and was struck by an SUV. The SUV was driven by a man named Keith R. O’Dell of Palm Coast. Unfortunately he was driving with his 2 young children when he hit Norbu. Norbu’s late father was a high lama who was also an abbot of a monastery when the Chinese invaded. The brother fled into exile during the time 0f 1959.


I believe it is very sad that a man of this importance and of this stature was killed. He was killed very unfortunately and it is sad that he died this way. But although he did die he died doing the thing he loved the most. He died helping a cause he believed in. I also feel very bad for the man who hit Norbu because it was not his fault but he still did kill a person. Also, I think the highway should put lights up because 2 people have already died by getting hit by cars. So in conclusion I believe this highway should have lights to prevent people from injury and death.
