    Hard to believe I use to baby sit him and never in an hundred years would I ever see this from him. I know his family very well.

    His crimes are to be taken seriously, but I ask that we look further into why these shootings happen. A society that forgets people in the Justice System, zealot cops, Failed War on Drugs amd War on Poverty. All of these variables create a perfect atmosphere for crime. Solve these problems. Reduce the crime.
