yeah we all know what happened to ole shawnnnny, but think about the suspects that were arrested. dont u think that these poor kids were just trying to find some money and food to feed their starving family? im not justifying the crime, im just saying, we should try to empathize with the less fortunate and figure out a way to end poverty, so that crimes like this wont happen anymore. dont u think so? after all, criminals are not born, but made by their environment. watch John Q, nd u will understand wat its like to be so poor that u cant provide for ur family.

you have to be kidding me, you cannot compare the situation in john q to these 4 thugs.
we all know they were not going to purchase food for their family, maybe some large diamond earrings and rims for their car.

yeah, why don't we all stand in a circle around a bonfire, sing kumbia while holding hands, and grilling our vegetable burgers?
Or better yet, how about we all become communist?
Look, it's no secret that poverty leads to crime, however, everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions, and it starts with the children's parents. Someone who is willing to work hard can provide for their family. They may not be rich or even middle class, but they will make enough to see that their family never goes hungry, and they always have a roof over their head. Raising kids in a poor neighborhood with a strong, moral background is much better than raising them in an affluent neighborhood without teaching them right from wrong or the importance of a good work ethic.
Even in communist countires and states, there are still differences in classes. There is no way to completely eliminate poverty or crime. Why? Because people will ALWAYS be lazy, and they will look for the quick track to making money. Sometimes they will take risks to do so, whether it be gambling their life savings or robbing a bank.
I highly doubt these kids were trying to feed their family with this money, and I doubt they were grabbing food. Food would have been in the kitchen, not the bedroom. They probably would have spent the money on xbox 360s or put it towards a car that they won't be able to afford the insurance for anyway. If they were indeed looking just for food for their family, they should not have been carrying a gun. They also should have been in the kitchen. I'm sure if they were caugh stealing food for their family, the judge would have taken pity on them, and even set them up with a prisoner's job placement program. That was not the case tho. These kids were no good criminals looking for some quick cash, and I'm willing to wager that they all have been in trouble before.
Not everyone can be rich. You have to work to get there. Taking shortcuts or attempting to get rich through illegal means is one of the best ways to ensure that you don't ever become rich. Hardwork and smart financial decisions is the safest way to ensure you will be at least middle class.

Okay David Duke, what makes you think their families were starving and that they were less fortunate than others? People who make uninformed idiotic stupid statements should really check facts before they assume that just because Sean was black and the perps were also that they were poor blacks trying to feed their families.
So your reasoning is that as long as you're trying to feed your families it's okay to break into someones home and randomly fire a round off once you realize they are there?
John Q was a movie. Let's get back to reality. If your source of information is Hollywood you need serious help.

all of us have our beliefs and how we see issues in existence yet I propose you adjust yours. I do have self belief that each thing that takes position for a reason and that we'd not in any respect discover out that reason. yet so some distance as no matter if we deserve it? i do not study about a question like that. in case you basically got here about to get hit by ability of a lower than the impression of alcohol motive force do you want for someone to ask a similar question?

I empathize with the poor, but putting food on the table is not an excuse for murder.
I'd be annoyed if someone broke into our house and stole our stuff, but it's quite a difference if they murdered my wife or children.

I sympathize with people who are poor and underpriviledged as much as anyone; I have been there. But there are perfectly legal ways to get assistance if necessary.
Being in such a situation in no way justifies burglary and murder. If those responsible for Taylor's death are looking for sympathy, they won't find it from me.

So we should feel sorry for these "poor kids", who were all of age to be able to work, but would rather go out and steal from someone who has worked their way up????? You sir need help

the age-old belief is that stealing bread to feed your starving family is legal, just not with jelly.
you are turning it into: stealing bread AND killing the grocer is legal in order to feed your starving family.
this was a major lapse in logic on your part.

Why the hell should I work for what I have just so some low life loser with no ambition in life can just take it from me? I might as well become that low life loser, why bother working when I can just take what I want.

everyone responsible for their own actions
I've been poor all of my life
but I've always upheld the highest morals and ethics
