Wasn’t he dressed exactly like the scum from El Paso?
Yes, he dressed nearly like the mass murderer in El Paso. Maybe a very problematic oversight on his part. That kind of outfit is popular with some of the young men. Very immature...or something.
If it’s only a lack of maturity, though, the PD there should consider lightening up a little on the charge in order to give him another chance. Just my opinion. Or maybe it was more than a simple lack of maturity.
I remember a childhood friend who stole something small from a dime store. The owner made him sweep the sidewalk outside for a couple of weeks instead of calling the cops. Those days are gone. People have changed.
