Crazy thing is, this isn’t his “fault” – it’s ours, as a society. There are no, zero, nada safety nets/help/leadership etc etc for the kids that need it, when growing up! We all know who they are in elementary school etc, and on – but we choose to look the way, spending our time and money on other “issues/problems”…the Government is ass backwards – just take 10% of the $ to incarcerate these people and solve the Fn problem! – glad the 20 truck convoy today is getting rid of the (.00001% total down there) plants they are furiously eradicating today! That’ll make a huge dent in our society’s problems! Great use of our $$$…$heesh x2

What are you talking about? I didn’t raise this kid to be this way. His family raised him like this. It’s his family’s fault and his parents fault as to why he’s such a shit head. It’s not society’s fault, we didn’t do him wrong, his parents didn’t raise him right!

I think you missed the point – that not all kids/people have the luxury of having parents or someone to care, nurture, raise them at an impressionable age, thus some kind of program(s) need to be in place for them. Otherwise you end up with a tattooed faced, rogue, 20 year old running amuck in society!

Maybe his dad has a neck tattoo and a dollar sign on his face. Maybe his dad tattooed him. We have to stop making excuses for extremely violent adults even if they behave and look like idiot little boys.

What the hell 20 years old and this is what he’s got. This is the game he’s built this is the clout he’s found. Where the hell’s the parents honestly you don’t stop parenting your kids once they turn 18 but many people feel that way. So many missed opportunities. May he find the ground so he can put his feet there instead of having his head in the clouds. You can turn your life around young man but you need to choose to do so. Family HELLO… it’s good to give support in a positive way so that their future can look bright. Right now his future doesn’t look very promising if he continues on the same path. Wee little babe he’s not even old enough to grow up proper mustache.💔

You are assuming that he still has parents here on earth…and if so they weren’t dealt the same set of cards.
Maybe we should take some of our (all)“convoy” monies and invest them in programs aimed at troubled kids before we are paying to lock em up!

No, I’m perfectly comfortable locking this man-child up and not putting him in a program at all. Men who terrorize women like that do not change because they suddenly see the light after therapy or Jesus or “a good job”.

I doubt his head is in the clouds. More likely, it’s stuck someplace where the sun doesn’t shine.

You gotta intervene when they’re young otherwise by the time they hit their teens they’re already on their way to being seasoned criminals. Sad but true.

Does anyone, anymore, get a tattoo on their chest of a large sailing ship or battleship so when they flex their pecs the ship looks like it’s rocking back and forth? At one time it was a look.

We can only wonder the type of home environment he came from. Sorry kid. And it’s time you gotta take responsibility. It’s hard to believe he wasn’t ‘asking’ (by his behavior) to go back to the joint. Such a shame.

He makes friends there and feels a sense of belonging there. Until he gets a ten piece it just don’t penetrate the thick cranial shell. Five years just don’t faze kids like him but a ten piece will chill him out.

Hopefully they put this complete looser in actual prison he never gets out and dies there. This POS and his complete looser crew have been terrorizing families and communities up and down the rivers. Breaking into houses, stealing, guns, cars, generators, tools……etc! Inflicting violence upon unsuspecting and uninvolved good people. Hope his family is proud….but as they say the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree…..They could care less, now it’s everyone’s problem. Bad parenting!!

Lukes tweaker friends should take the lesson. Your time is limited and it will come. It should have come a few yrs ago for your precious little Luke.

Charming isnt it? NOT . Quit supporting criminal trajectories. Be a parent. Cripe…No crime in NO CRIMES. Want better quit crawling with slime. The local up n comers 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 years olds are watching him with stars in thier eyes.

Unfortunately, he has to hang out with 8-10 year old kids because no adults want to be around him. His social and academic skills are that of an 8-10 year old.
