Meth around and Find Out
What I see here is a boy-man that has absolutely no clue what he is doing, nor where he is headed. No goals, no plans. Just survival. Consumed by poverty. Looking for a quick out by getting other people’s stuff to pay for meth and to obtain food. Parent(s) possibly caught in the same rotating trap, almost like running on a hamster wheel.
Someone(s) has to get his mindset and an outlook changed. More government welfare and more religion are not the answers because we have an abundance of both and this machine just keeps cranking out the same results. The question is where does he get that start, and can he overcome (for life) what he has become entrenched within.
As it stands — pitiful.
Keep him locked up and toss the key. People are barely making it from one day to the next in this economy and this guy wants to steal what little these folks worked so hard for? Nah. Quit giving slaps on the wrist and let him serve some REAL time.
This young man had better see the light he has no idea what is going to happen to him in Prison. Son if you read this wake up before its too late.
Where are this kid’s parents? He needs some serious help before he gets hurt or worse… someone shoots him and they will to protect their property.
They sure start young !! Amazing how they can’t get a job but can easily learn to steal!! A drag on society !!! Lock him up !!!
