Dads are not necessary and doing drugs is no big deal. Where was the government checks and free meals and job training for the lady. How could she and her family possible be asked to raise a kid and teach him right from wrong. Maybe even swat his but a time or two for taking things that are not his. I am sure she was told by some counselor that this is just normal kid stuffs even after the 20th time. I wonder how many people would be up in arms had one of the people been close by when he was stealing from them and shot him. We have the generation we deserve. Narcissistic punks that believe in their street cred and believe because they were pushed out of a womb they deserve respect, not earning it but demanding it. " Huffington Post Dragn1 writes:

Look at what this kid was able to do to survive - albeit - a life of crime. Just imagine what he could do if he was actually nurtured? I just hope he gets assimilated some day. I know that sounds trite - but honestly - he deserves a chance - don't you think? ~ DD I’m with you! Look at what this kid was able to do to survive – albeit – a life of crime.
