Very tragic story indeed. If you think you have seen the worst of evil, there's always another surprise. But also the attraction of some young women towards known criminals is confounding. You cannot establish a family on a foundation of crime. Children in such liaisons have no starting chance in life. They will have been condemned to failure in life even before they are born. The parents of such young women need to mcome out clear that such liaisons will only need to disaster.
This is some new generation s*** here, what man involves their mom in a crime ?? Any woman for that matter? Definitely not condoning hurting women here, but then to include your mom in it is beyond my comprehension
This is how much the community and the culture respect and protect THUGS! He has 2 girlfriends, a Wife and most likely multiple kids by different women. He has people who help him get rid of evidence, harboring him! Is he really a worse culprit than the people surrounding him? Think before you answer.
