    unless the older guy runs a tattoo shop, and you want to follow in those footsteps, he is not someone you want as a mentor in life.

    It is great to see our youth who are able to realize how it is possible to make a positive change. Community advocates are important and we appreciate them.

    what would help is have a program where felons can find work so they don’t reoffend

    There is applause in his DECISION to turn his life in the better path way but the entry words are a head scratcher.
    "His gun went off..." Firstly, WHAT was a 15-year old doing with a gun; HOW did a 15-year old have a gun with/without guardian knowledge? WHY was a 15-year old in possession of a loaded weapon and not understand the safety precautions?
    And to casually use the words "fell in to making bad choices"..."influences from rappers, exposure to gang culture, and school pushed him towards crime" - - - gm3b!! This isn't taking accountability but it is placing/pushing blame elsewhere.
    As a single mom, knowing the streets of Chicago and Houston aren't riddled with gold, I also understand that by toddler age you know the differences between right and wrong. My kids (now in military and law enforcement) grew up listening to Hip-Hop and rap; and choice of associations leads you into the realm of gang culture BUT choices are made not fallen into.

    I don’t give a $hit what anyone says… guns don’t just "go off. Boom." Something was done to make it go off, whether he admits it or not.
    Damn… that’s a hell of a way to figure out they REALLY wasn’t his friends, leaving him to literally run to the hospital after being shot. Good grief. 🤦‍♀️
    No food to eat but all of em have cell phones and guns. Make it make some sense!!

    the reality in america today, why choose between a felon and an illegal or someone with the actual skills to do the job?
    i probably ain't more than 30 miles away from this minute. i work with a couple of illegals. and some qualified people who do the real work. i respect them all.
    they ain't convicted felons.

    Omg joseph why is he not a model or a actor ? ❤ communities need to start reaching out to people and provide opportunities . Yall just selfishly wait till someone makes one bad decision . Women wait for the man to make the first move when women got all the power . No create a better move upgrade them . But other women and jealousy is always the problem . So lets keep stealing lives in other countries as they make us weapons 😂
