[El Cid]

I agree with your Post 7 comment. I was just going to write, 'huh, whut?' In response to the remark that it 'wasn't the kid, but whatever happened in his life to [be a thug]'...

I grant you that if you are brought up in a bad neighborhood, with a bad culture, with bad parents, you are starting life with many handicaps. Ultimately, though, the 'kid', or person, needs to make his own decisions.
