It was written about in People magazine because young urban male rarely take responsibility for past mistakes. Instead of taking it at face value you attempt to besmirch the individual. No one, including people magazine, (which is a shock I admit) was patting him on the back for fathering a child, no one was suggesting that it was a great idea to impregnate a girl at the age of 16, and no one suggested that it would be swell to be a single teenage parent.

The fact remains however that it happened. What should he have done in this position? Could any action on his part softened your hard heart against him? He did what any good person should have done...he took responsibility for his actions and worked to make life better for his daughter, whom he clearly loved. Instead of showing any appreciation for Him doing what so many others have failed to do in a similar situation you instead focus on the negative and dismiss the positive. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I think we should wait to hear more from the police on what circumstances lead to his death, don't you? He may or may not have been involved in some nefarious activities, we should wait and see.

And, no, I am not ashamed of myself. I only wish this child had a loving, stable, two-parent home.
