"Relatives of a teenaged home invader who was killed
by a homeowner while seemingly exiting the home he had broken into are
asking observers to consider the mentality of of children “raised in the
hood.”
"17-year-old
Trevon Johnson was shot and killed after the 54-year-old woman
homeowner was alerted to his crime via a home surveillance system. After
arriving at her home, she witnessed Johnson exiting a window of her
house. There was then a confrontation in which Johnson was shot once.
Police arrived on the scene within seconds and applied CPR. After being
rushed to the hospital, Johnson was pronounced dead.
"Seemingly
justifying her relative’s commission of burglary, Johnson’s cousin
Nautika Harris suggested it was the only way through which he could
obtain money.
"'You
have to understand, you have to look at it from a child's point of view
that was raised in the hood. How he gonna get his money to have clothes
to go to school?' asked Harris.
"'I don't care if she have her gun license, her rights, or any of that,' said Harris. 'That is way beyond law. Way beyond.'"
My God.

it's never the perpetrators fault... I just don't get the mentality of the family. "back in my day", the parents would stand behind the victim and against their own childs wrong behavior. our society's mindset is unreal
Yeah, they support crime because how else they gonna get their money? They never even think of things like a job. I think the Statue of Liberty is crying for the USA these days.
