      What it is, is he wanted to be accepted. Seeing his mugshot he look soft as hell, and he wanted to join a gang. He wanted to show his chest or his peers. This has little to do with the parents. He’s softer than Rosanne son. See how he broke down with his parents. Like the Narrator said, he now has to face reality.

      I am not in support of violence of any kind but I think you should recognize the gangs have huge influence over kids and what they misconstrue to be "cool." I don't think the word "wanted" is the right one. They are influenced a great deal by peer-pressure, negative role-models in music and movie culture and so on. It's not uncommon for kids to join gangs to feel "protected," even though that is a terribly misguided reason, I understand it. I wish it were simple but it's not.

I'm not saying they didn't love their child but they definitely missed the mark the kid is a thief and a murderer and a police officer to boot really loving families don't produce cop killers no way no how.

    My dad been serving life in prison since 1993 and he tells me all the time these lil young dudes that pretend to be gangstas out in the street, end up committing crimes and getting life in prison almost always cry their self to sleep in prison because now they're scare of reality and they know they're never going home again. Just live a straight life, my dad been preaching this to me since I was 10 years old, told me to never make the same mistakes he made in life which costed him his freedom.

    • @kimsland999
      @kimsland999 Рік тому +48

      Cost is preferred over costed. Instead of: _which costed him his (double wording) freedom_ Rather write: _which cost his freedom_
      Costed still seems to be used in Canada, whereas really everywhere else the word cost is preferred on its own.
      Regarding _My dad been serving_ (now at the beginning of your paragraph). Instead write: My Dad is serving. _Been_ is not grammatically correct as it sounds as though you are placing a past tense on a present situation. For instance reading this presently is not: I been reading it! Rather its I am reading it.
      However, if you had used the added word of: _My Dad has been serving_ Then this would be reasonable. I agree English is a difficult language to clearly write and speak properly.
      There are other issues ie gangsters not gangstas! If you are writing a long paragraph then there's no need to write 'lil'. I mean the paragraph is already long, so lil is out of place, rather use little.
      'Preaching' is a religious term. However I understand religion has really stolen a lot of words and made them their own. Preaching by a Preacher would not be a respectful point of your post. As Preachers are generally looked upon as deceivers, since clearly a Preacher would likely know they are lying to the congregation. Here's hoping you aren't religious? Thankfully that's a dying area in America.
      Plus being _preached_ to, is not how people learn how to reason effectively. It would have been better if your Dad reasoned with you with allowing open questions. Preaching to you, or laying down the law, doesn't inform you right from wrong. It merely informs you that's what Dad said (or preached!). Clearly someone could preach the exact opposite! Thus preaching cannot help people learn how to reason effectively. We now know being preached to is wrong.
      Overall your story was interesting and informative. However it could not be used as a learning aid for children (especially with religious connotations) since we now realize its about acquiring knowledge and effective reasoning skills.

I understand how belonging to a separate tribe feels more important than life itself as a teen. But this behavior takes it too far 🤯

      A baby spends its first months of sentience knowing nothing except the comfort and protection of its mother’s womb. Then being thrust into the overwhelming brightness and cold of the outside world makes them think they’ve been stripped of all protection - their crying is a crying of loss, of having their innate comfort ripped away from them.
      This kid is a newborn baby. The outside world, his Xbox, his phone, the loving arms of his family - those were his womb. He’s being taken away, birthed into a new world - except unlike a baby, who is terrified of the unknown, Nick is terrified because his new life holds an outright guarantee of empty, endless suffering.

    I feel so bad for the parents. You can tell by how they acted and what they were saying, they love him more than anything and that they've tried to raise him to be good, be honest and all that. They sat there and tried, using love and being honest, to get him to say anything about it. They just wanted the truth, no matter what. They let him know they love him no matter what. On a way less popular note, to an extent, I feel sorry for this kid. He's 15, his life is somewhere between a kid and a man and thought he had to do something like this, to be accepted as a tough guy, or to prove himself to people who don't even care about him. He's ruined his life, and will finish growing up in a ruthless prison. Don't get me wrong, the action was as despicable as can be and all actions have consequences, good and bad. If you commit such a crime, you have to be punished. He took a man away from his family, the people he loved and worked with.

    Answer: NEVER EVER DO THIS!! I've seen this before with lower-income families and it's unfortunate. People have commented that his parents are honorable and that may be, and it may be of value to him as a human being to take responsibility for his actions, but this particular conversation, on camera in the police station, is doing nothing for them or their son. No attorney, even the most honorable and decent one, would ever let a family have such a conversation. I think the police have influenced the parents (as they should have) and now the parents a) are wanting to please the police, as they represent authority (this psychology is well documented), and b) have been convinced that their son's confession will somehow help him. It will not. This conversation did not. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it happened - the kid is a killer - but from the perspective of the family and the kid, this conversation was a massive mistake. The parents did the cop's and the DA's jobs for them - jobs that they might not have been able to without the family.

      As father and former "problem child" it breaks my heart too...
      When I was 13y.o. a friend and I went to a private golf club and we stole a couple of golf clubs...
      Next day my father saw the golf club in my room and asked me where and how I got it...
      He realized about my BS and immediately he took his belt off and I got punished severely while I confessed...
      My dad called my friend dad and told him everything.
      My friend got a strong dosis of belt too...
      Then our dads took us to the private golf club and made us return the items and apologize to the owners.
      We felt so low and bad that there is no words to describe that feeling...
      Then my dad drove to a bad neighborhood and we stayed out there for a couple of hours observing the chaos...
      Then my dad said:
      Do you want to end up living like that?
      We said NO.
      Then they told us:
      We will NOT tolerate any kind of criminal behavior and the next time they will kick us out from home to live in an environment like this one...
      We were cured.
      Now I'm raising my family with the same values.
      My son still is a kid (9y.o.) and I'm raising him to be honest and to be accountable for his actions in a hard way.

    You guys are going to serve as therapy for me today. I narrowly escaped a fate that I think I probably deserved years ago. I was trying to be a cool dude and wanted to be a part of a gang almost 30 years ago now. That's crazy to write and read. Anyhow, my buddy and I came up with a brilliant idea to snatch an older woman's purse while she was walking out of the grocery store, and forever traumatize her. I have never told this full story to anyone, because it's saddening -- but necessary to tell. The good part is that solid citizens chased us down until the police came and properly apprehended us.
    I'm a black male and had both of my very loving and supportive parents in my life. I had very loving and supportive siblings in my life. Get this: I was a straight-A student, respectful, and a star track and football athlete, but got caught up in a stupid ideology that could have cost me my life. That's pure shitty culture, and lack of self-discipline on my behalf.
    I've shed some tears writing this, and I am so very sorry to that woman and her family for what I did and how I impacted an innocent person for no good reason, whatsoever. I'm truly sorry.
    However, and almost immediately after the realization of my stupidity, I shifted gears. I turned being a star track and football athlete into a D1 football scholarship, graduated from a top university, learned how to communicate at a high level and turned my experiences into a 6-figure-earning occupation with unlimited growth potential. I now have 3 kids, and take what I've learned very seriously. I don't mince words with my 2 sons, and try to impress upon them the very stark reality of repercussions for their actions. You don't know me, and I don't know you; however, there's a young man out there who NEEDS to read this story and shift gears accordingly.
    If you're still here, I truly appreciate your time. Please encourage the youth to think beyond themselves, and to TRY to make good decisions -- Lord knows that even in "adulthood", we're all still working on it.
    Cheers

    The officer, David Crawford, was 46 years old, married with a 24 yr old daughter when he was gunned down by Nicholas Lindsey. He was shot 5 times at close range while reaching for a note pad. Lindsey's lawyer tried to get his confession thrown out, wanted him tried for manslaughter instead of murder and portrayed him as just a 'scared child', all to no avail. All appeals were denied and his life without parole upheld but as an juvenile under 18 his sentenced will be automatically reviewed after serving 25 years. Laws in his state are exceptionally tough to appeal because the victim was an officer. He is fortunate as a juvenile he could not be sentenced to death. 200 officers took part in the manhunt for Lindsey. The murder of David Crawford was a terrible tragedy.

Too many parents I worked with as a psychologist loved to take credit when their children did extremely well, but didn’t feel responsible when their children made really bad choices. These parents are rare in my experience, and I’m glad to see they’re getting such respect in the comments.

      The kids make decisions that impact their entire life before they are old enough to make decisions for themselves. A kid wouldn't be allowed to sign a contract yet but they can surely make decisions that will impact them more than any contract ever could. Their brains haven't developed yet, they're impressionable and don't consider what happens when they're making these decisions.

    Rest in peace, Officer. I truly believe that regardless of an attorney being present or not, his parents showed integrity and wanted their son to tell the truth. They already knew the evidence was stacked against him. I am very sad for the family, because he had some good parents that truly care/cared about him, and he still chose the wrong path. Sad. Even if he was scared, he still had a gun. If you’re carrying around a gun at 15 years old, there’s only one thing it’s meant for.

      Yup. Gang and peer pressure is always fighting against what the parents want for their son, I'm so sick of the narrative that the parents are always to blame. I had a certified mother and sure I've made mistakes I've been pressured into situations and I do hate her but no matter what she did to me I don't hold her responsible, she may have made me more susceptible but at the age of 11 I left her and got a second chance. I squandered that chance. It's a hard to work out how much is nurture vs nature even for me, I've never been to prison so for me I think it's mainly brain chemistry a lot of people have suffered far worse than I have and go on to lead valuable lives. It's embarrassing to admit that I do not have the same stamina and have just given up and decided to wallow in self pity.
      I was exceptional in several fields and first started having trouble when I turned 15, I managed to make a come back and recover a few years later till my mid 20's a few mistakes I made kinda left me with nothing and I don't have any desire to try again so I'm just waiting out the clock now for the last 9 or so years.

      Thank you for at least being fair but firm when most will say a bunch of negativity and i would even say nigh racist things. I hope the officers family finds peace eventually and know that the officer served his community well and with honor. I truly hope this world changes for the better.

      @lg6707 It's not how you fall, but how you pick yourself up that matters! What is the point of waiting out the clock when there's an unknown number of people who would give anything to live. If you think that you are doing it because you don't think you could do it again, then you never will because you have already decided that you can't. You should go and speak with someone, invest in yourself, and make peace with whatever you need to. It's done. You are not. You can look at volunteering somewhere and get outside of your own mind and bubble. You would be amazed at how much helping others in need can help centre you and provide some perspective into just how hard life can be and how blessed you are just to be able to even say that you had a mother and on top of that a psydo family who took you into their home. They say every cloud has a silver lining, and every silver lining has a cloud. It is just how you decide to see the cloud and not the lining. You can start again in your way and make your life change. You are not a tree, you don't have roots and you can go wherever you choose. You can make a life and a difference if you choose it. You can't be truly ok with your current situation if you have contemplated trying again. But life is a gift, and it is unfair to us all in its own way. But there is a whole world out there that is waiting for you! Don't let them win! This is your life, and you can make it whatever you want. You define what success is for you, not anyone else. You can educate yourself and expand your mind and find something that gives you some type of purpose. I believe that you can do it. But only YOU can do it for yourself, and the first step is to replace your useless self-pity with affirmations of you can and will do it. Baby steps and be kind to yourself through the process! Are you like super rich or something 🤔 because the fact you have had the luxury to wallow in your self-pity for 9 years and don't mention any fiance issues is honestly wild to me! If I did that being 14 and homeless, with a dead mother and a chronic alcoholic as a father, I would have never seen 15! But I slept in parks, showered at friends places and the other public facilities and I went to school every day and graduated at the top of 2 of my classes, while working as many shifts I could get at mcdonald's to support not only myself but my 2 brothers who are my world and I would buy their school shoes and books and pay for all 3 of our school fees before I got food or anything else. That's one of the lesser obstacles that I was forced to deal with and process to let it go. My story is basically filled with the worst types of abuse and tragedy and trauma, but I refuse to lie down and take it, because I know that however bad I have had it, I am so blessed, because I know that others have had to endure lives that are worse than mine! But, you are just letting them win, and giving up on life is really only your loss at the end of the day and you will never find out what could have been and if you are content when your time comes up that you have no regrets about your life choices then I say good for you and I wish you well. Otherwise, I hope you find something to do that makes you happy that you chose to live and not just simply exist. You have to know that you are unfulfilled and hence the stupid self-pity. I can't imagine being so selfish and choosing to do nothing to help yourself or anyone else in this crazy, mean, beautiful world is truly mind-blowing to me! At what stage do you realise that you have to get over it and move on and go do something for someone or a charity. The distraction is good for you and you can make a new life. You just have to want it and be prepared to work for it. Waiting out the clock is easy, and that's your legacy. But, if you're of the mindset that it's too hard and you 5 you reep what you sow, and surely you must get sick of always thinking about yourself and the past!? Or are you just a little self-centred and enjoy ruminating about yourself and your life. Like change the channel already and contribute in some way to this world, because you can leave it better than you found it or just spend your time thinking about how unfair life is to you, cos it's all about you it seems like and it just sounds like such a bleak, empty, horrible life and I just wanted to say that you can do this. And, time flies when you are having fun! So watching that clock of yours will run out faster for you if that's really what you want. Much luck and peace to you and I hope you find a light to guide you through this and you end up living a fulfilling and happy life in the end.
