I laughed, but it's true. Some years ago there was a similar situation in Newark. A 15-year-old pregnant teenager was killed when police were chasing a stolen car loaded with teenagers. One of the kids shot at the police car and the cops shot back. The girl was hit and killed. It was 4 in the morning.

On one side you might think, "how sad, a life wasted," but the other side says, "how much of a life did this person have ahead to begin with if they were this stupid at 15?"

The mother was a 15 year old unwed gangbanger ho when he was born. The father was 17. They need answers? I've got plenty!

Sew up some holes and whack some wangers for "prevention," and for those who unfortunately already managed to get born, off to labor camp you go at the first violation of the law -- never to be seen again.

We've tried the gentle approach to fixing society's ills and it's been one failed social experiment after another. Time to get harsh.

It's sad he had to die so young.
But being stupid is not an excuse.
When you run with a bad crowd, expect bad things to happen to you.

I thought I was one mean SOB. Most of you have beaten me hands down.

I think the kid knew exactly what he was doing when he became a criminal. He figured that crime paid better than anything else a 24 yr old kid could do. I have to wonder if anyone explained to the kid that those that live by the gun generally die by the gun.

Contrary to conventional wisdom sometimes the streets has a stronger hold on a young man's mind that is stronger than anything that than any parent can deal with.

Catch them before they are one year of age and you might have some hope of changing their lives. After that, it's iffy.


Natural selection.
