Feb 22

I heard on Fox news last night, (yes I watch fox news) about the murder of a 13 year old boy in L.A. He was joy riding and not going into every detail but he was shot and killed by the police. The most surprising thing about this story is that you don't really hear anything about this it's like it's being swept under the rug. The first I heard about this story I was watching the factor. From there I went to the LA Times website and from there to the NPR site. It was interesting to see the contrast in the different stories, not about the details but the perspectives of those they interviewed about their reaction. Some were not so surprisingly outraged this is a baby 13 all you know at thirteen is that you don't know poop. But some people were talking about the kid had starting hanging out with a bad crowd. One so called community activist said he was not in a gang but he was embracing the gang culture. I hate to say this but why is this happening to the country when we don't allow our kids to mess up and learn. Marlon Brando ran with a rough crowd as a kid so did Steve McQueen. I guess you never heard of Frank Sinatra. I am a father I work every day I am a college graduate and as a kid my friends committed every crime you can imagine. The first time something like this where mistakes that you learn from were used in this stupid way that stuck out to me was when The President was going to appoint this guy to a position, it came out that they guy had a maid that didn't have a green card or something, that okay I admit is not very smart but the media kept putting it out there that this guy had filed bankruptcy when he was in his thirties he was a loser and what not. Ab Lincoln filed for bank rupsey several times so has Donald Trump so do most business men for that America the country is in debt up to its eye balls. I feel that a person who walks his own path is exactly what America is all about it gives you the opportunity to make a mistake and learn from it then it allows you to grow. Anyway back to the shooting lets just say this is an adult, this is a grown man a drunk driver in a stolen car. You would shoot at this person 6 times, that worries me. Because I have a son, and I know my son will make mistakes. I just hope that he does so way away from LA county. I just like every parent love my child, and what ever cop I feel unfairly hurts my child will be hurt by me. By any means necessary.
