The way that kid is waving around fake money and waving the gun is like he is committing robbery...And the parents (or adults) are loving it...
Wonder how they will love that kid lying in the street shot to death at 17 years old?????
Wonder if the parents furthered the thug life experience by setting up a small jail cell where the kids will rot for years. Or maybe a hospital scene where the pretend doctor pulls the sheet over the drug overdosed kid? How about pretending to be an adult male with no marketable skills, 3 bastard kids, nothing but left over McDonald’s in the fridge, and rent due Friday feels?
Cite the bell curve or whatever, but I don’t follow how a culture that leads to ruin and suffering is promoted and aspired to. This has to be fixed from within.
17 would be far too long-—try 14 or so—IF even that.
