[SIZE=2]I am not making any excuses for anyone, I'm telling the truth and no one likes to hear the truth. I don't expect everyone in a poor neighborhood to become criminals, not at all. I'm not a criminal so why would I feel that way. As far as being in the streets and being involved in criminal activity, some people just can't get out once your so far in. I don't know their situation, but nobody understands until they are the ones in the situation. So unless you were in the midst of robbing someone, felt it was o so wrong, stopped and gave them the money in your pocket, don't comment. I personally don't believe in robbing, because I work hard for what I get. I still can sympathize with the situation I don't see how you could get upset that ones parent wants to mourn them. How dare you be so disrespectful. To her that's her child, her flesh and blood, and your upset, because she once to remember her child? SIZE]

So wait -- we're not allowed to judge robbers unless we've robbed someone ourselves and felt remorse about it? Do you actually believe the crap you're saying or are you just pulling our legs?

Doesn't seem like a smart way to live, but that may just be me.

If half of you guys were in any of the situations these VICTIMS (meaning an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance) you could not handle it. These people where in adverse situations. 2. The kids who got shot probably didn't have a choice in robbing that person. People often say there's always another choice, but this is not true. They can't run away from situations, because they have no money and they have to get it the only way they know how. 3. No god fearing person deserves to die so when you say that your just wrong. Also the news don't know everything and it can be very misleading. I was up east hills when the lady got shot. All she was trying to do was feed her family. It's not the activity your involved in its the greed behind it. That goes with anything ranging from a small office job to our very own politicians today. Only those who have judge and are dumb for believing everything they hear. So what you are allowed to mourn your Childs death no matter what the case. 4. I bet if any of your kids got charged for a rape and homicide that you would stand behind them and support them. Hoping in the back your head they did not do this sick thing
1. There is no god; if you think there is, please provide proof.
2. Garbage. Everyone has a choice in their actions. They could try education as a antidote to their ignorance.
3. Apparently your religion does little good. If they were so "god fearing" they wouldn't commit crimes against your 10 commandments. They're criminals. Why do you excuse their behavior?
4. Doubtful. As a parent, I would be partly responsible. Or is it denial that your scenario is founded on?
