I really hate that happen he my friend real talk I already miss my hommie.
Ok ex classmate one thing is for sure you never know what lies ahead for one of your love ones I hope you don’t have to experience the pain your love one being sent away for a long time or something worse those very words you spoke you just might choke on them Yes he was wrong for what he did but what make you think it’s ok to say good for him of course you can say what you like just like myself or anyone else for that matter but when you say things like that they are known very well to come back and slap you in the face to remind you that maybe you shouldn’t speak to freely in ignorance because all of us have family or friends that do things we are not proud of but love overrides there stupidity and when someone says good for that person it shows they are stupid and inconsiderate because im sure he is not the only one suffering sounds like you have some growing up to do also good luck
REGARDING:
“if he sold drugs , back in 2009, why are they just now arresting him . don’t make sense , what’s the deal with that?”
“to a confidential informant and an undercover narcotics officer ”
Sometimes you would blow an undercover officer’s cover if you arrested an offender as soon as he broke the law. This way they can catch many offenders or find the higher up offenders. Or the sale to the CI could have been in 2009 and the sale to the UNO could have been more recently.
That’s just a guess but would explain the delay.
David for the right time and place
if he sold drugs , back in 2009, why are they just now arresting him . dont make since , whats the deal with that
@s. powers: So by your statement, Someone can rob, commit murder, rape, beat up an elderly person and your solution is to FORGIVE them? Bet you won’t when the offenses occur against YOUR family!!
I think you have a misinformed notion of God. Did you ever hear something called the commandments? They are not suggestions, but COMMANDMENTS from God!!
People make mistakes so be very careful of your tongue. There are people out here who care and love him. And God will never turn his back so what man think is nothing.
GOD IS IN CONTROL & HAS THE LAST SAY SO. WHETHER HE SPEND THE NEXT 15YRS IN PRISON IS TOTALLY UP 2 HIM GOD KNOWS WHATS BEST SO IF THATS HIS WILL I CAN ACCEPT THAT. EITHER WAY HE IS GOING 2 B ALRIGHT & GOD IS STILL AWESOME AND FAITHFUL!!!!!!!COMING 4RM HIS SISTER……
Good for him. He was always in trouble in school and always had a bad attitude, and from what I understand that has only grown since he’s gotten older. Can’t believe it took this long for him to get prison time.
