She brought the scumbag b*stard into her son's life who prompted the kid to attempt this robbery. There was a risk involved, prison or otherwise, which is exactly why that coward sent those kids inside instead of going in, himself. When you raise savages and turn them loose on society, as this mother did, is it any wonder that they run into equally savage people or unbalanced people? Doesn't excuse an execution - I am not saying that. But this mother simply dumped her son out into the world of crime. By exposing him to criminals, she guaranteed that he would become a predator or a victim. Horrible.
If the adult coward had simply killed him in a drug deal, we all would have shrugged and said it is terrible - and thought no more about it. We'd have agreed that he deserved the death penalty but thought not much more about it. I think we have all but written off crime in the black community so long as it doesn't cross over the line to involve white people. What a tragic waste. This young man wasn't debris but he certainly was treated like it by his family. And the convicted. To be fair, he was acting like debris when he was killed but he still didn't deserve that. We have laws on the books to deal with that sort of thing once the need for self defense passes.
