You are so correct! Here is a black youth who had a chance and blew it. Why can't the leaders of NAACP/Nah/Sharpton get it threw their thick heads that crime is not a way of life?

wotidew!....compassion runs like low tide here!....he's a college grad, so it's not like he never even tried....this is tragic on so many levels...thank God it's not moreso...he could have hurt, or killed someone.....trust me, i have limited to no compassion for those who never even try....this man, at one time, tried and accomplished.....hence, my sympathy and sadness....what further proof does one need that drug addiction is a disease.....this is not a life path he, or his family, ever could have imagined....

It's a self-inflicted disease. He's a college graduate - he should have known better. I have no sympathy for him.

15-years is a joke.

LIFE IN PRISON. He earned that sentence at two CVS stores, on Norman Street, and at the Children's place.

Get this dirt-bag off the streets!

This is not a sickness that can hit anyone jackass!! Becoming addicted to crack is not a sickness at all, its the result of many poor decisions knowing the end result.

"wecome to bpt.", how wise AND classy you must be....first, NOBODY wakes up one day and just does crack, or heroine.....it's a progression....contrary to the bill maher's (sp?) of the world, experts site "gateway drugs" as the beginning of a slide down a very slippery slope...anyone who drinks a beer, or who has a puff of marijuana, runs the risk of falling down that slope....ANYONE, pauper, to millionare, CAN be affected by drug addiction.....again, i pray it never happens to anyone in your family....
