Why?
Do parents, friends complain more about family members' treatment?
Then the violence those family thugs place upon others.

Go to court, suddenly concern and excuses for the criminal's welfare.

Just maybe, it should be addressed before getting to that point.

What?
You attended church and left the minister out of the process.
Sure, in today's time many of them walk around blind.
But pressure applied at the right time might be an intervention many need.

All types of mindset criminals find God in prison.
They have nothing but time to recall or remember some scriptures line.

Many remember dads back in the day told you upfront.
If you commit any crime except self-defense?
He wasn't coming to jail/prison to see you.

So why show concern?
When they didn't follow laws and protocol?
