“I thought the comment about the degree was an odd thing to say also.”
He was probably very proud of it. It was probably going to be a stepping-stone out of their situation, but you know how (hood)rats get when one of them tries to escape.
I say that not knowing anything about the circumstances of his death.
Sounds about accurate tho. Living just 20-30 minutes outside of a murder capital is like night and day. Worked with many people who live in the city that tell personal stories of similar deaths These folks are gunned down and from the way it sounds, their siblings were up to no good at one time or another. I’m not saying this is always the case. But, I’ve connected the dots. While these type of families need to move, they seem too connected by friends and large families that also live in these cities. Low or free rent, many social programs keep them rooted as well. The one that tries to better them self has a hard time breaking free, especially when immediate family is not on board to leave the associations behind.
