Have you ever been blown away by seeing a mug shot of a friend, family member or trusted aquaintence in the paper or on the news?

1 Answer

Answer :

I knew this kid I hung around with for about a year when I was a kid. Then later in my early teens I met this other guy, and then in my early 20’s I read in the paper that those two guys from my past got arrested, along with two other dudes I didn’t know, for stealing a truck filled with rat poison. Three of them got jail time, not sure how long, the other guy, being his first crime, got house arrest or something. I wasn’t surprised about the two guys I knew. Although I didn’t hang around with them much after we parted ways, I saw them quickly slide into crime. One was in a gang, even became the leader of one of the ’‘chapters’’. This gang called Deuce. The other guy was always doing stupid things, like beating up random people on the street. What they wanted with a truckload of rat poisons is beyond me though. Not exactly what you’re asking, but related, somewhat.
