When your relatives and community support criminality, it is hard to lead an honest and productive life.

He should not have chosen such a risky career as the means to get his money.

I guess they didn’t have a baby picture of this guy, huh? Baby pictures are the way to go.

Amazing! Approving burglary to afford “clothes for school”. Please. Would the relatives of the ventilated criminal be so kind to someone breaking and entering their home?

If I was a betting man, all my money would be on “no way”.

One dude I knew back at ODU years ago told me that the smart ones leave the hood and never go back as well as cutting themselves off from folks they knew from there too.

In my mind, his DNA needs to disappear.

Look at the bright side, at least he died doing what he loved.

Note to parents of this 17-year old wannabe burglar that's now room temperature: your son picked the wrong house and wrong homeowner to confront while engaged in criminal activity. You failed to raise him properly and he died a stupid and avoidable death as a result of his actions. That's too bad for him, but those to blame for his thuggery and criminal actions are you “parents” that support him even now. No, black lives don't matter when they are engaged in B&E of an occupied home. It is the victim's lives that matter and your son's is forfeit.

“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” said Harris. “You have to understand… how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point-of-view.”

Seriously????? You train up your child to do right and get a job to support himself....not train him and excuse his breaking into someone's home to steal from them.

This is what 3 or 4 generations on welfare have given America....a useless criminal class that have no future thanks to dems.
