A friend of mine son was killed over his van. Now this happened about 6 months before I moved to the DFW area and before I met him. In 1998. His 18 year old son was selling his van. the two guys he met when they came to test drive it, stopped under and overpass to a highway, shot and killed him. all planned just to steal a vehicle. They were only in their teens or early 20's as well.
Both were caught right away and convicted. Not sure if it was an automatic death penalty back then. But the shooter got at least life without parole if not the death penalty. I can't remember. But the other, got life, but he was eligible for parole after I think it was 12 years since he was not the shooter.
But every year since then, he has been denied parole. My friend is there every year and usually sends us e-mails with a link so we can e-mail the state officials or whoever, stating why this guy should not be paroled. So he has been in prison for 20 years now.
Good, anyone that's willing to take the last breath out of another human doesn't deserve to live the free life that we are given.
I've experienced the struggle and have experienced partial homelessness back in my day before being highly blessed and back on my feet.
Even my struggles didnt make me want something bad enough to want to go take from someone or worse take their life or take them from their loved ones.
We are the cause of any situation we end up in whether positive or negative.
