I typed up this long response in Miles D's topic but..T_T then it was closed. So now I'll have to re-type it all, haha, oh well.

That shit is really messed up and it sounds like some Vice City shit (not to make this sound like a joke or anything).

Hopefully those 4 dudes will spend a few years or more incarcerated and will change like, for example, Saigon who was incarcerated from 14 till 22 I think (for shootings and stuff) and changed his ways, trying to get rid of gang violence/racism/crime/etc. by speaking out on it and such (through rapping). But anyways, that dude who was incarcerated 8 out of the past 11 years probably won't change

I know these two dudes (not that well but) who are in their mid and late 30's and have been arrested multiple times due to robberies, break-ins, hit and runs and who knows what else but they've both recently changed and have finally started going to college. A bit too late in life to finally change after a past life with bad records forever, but at least they've changed. Hopefully these 4 young fools will.
