    It is time for this boy to man up! An innocent baby is dead because of his “gangster” thinking and now he needs to realize that his life is over because of his lack of common sense. Hopefully he will be caught by either the Ragin Cajuns over there or our great law enforcement over here and they will show him what rough and tough really means!
