this is going to sound flaky and corny--but not corn flaky--but some of us have been around kids in our professions to learn a lot about them. I used to think, "That kid needs discipline, so he needs detention or some form of punishment." I realized that it was not working in the long term--it was hurting. So I researched it for 20 years. To overly simplify it, I studied the trauma that kids grow up in that is beyond their control. I studied their developing brains and how they are often stunted by the trauma around the kids. I came to the conclusion--you don't fix the kid by trying to change him/her, you try to fix their environments. Bad or violent behavior is nearly always a reaction to the situation that surrounds the kid. It is more about random chance (circumstances he was born into) that some plan to be evil or mean. Yes, he was wrong to run from the cops and to argue with the family, and to be holding a firearm, etc. But suicide is usually the choice when the victim does not see another way out. I feel for him, his family, his victims and their families. I have a fair idea of what might have happened to cause this. If you are middle class, white, and surrounded by a loving, supportive family, judging him would be easy. If you are from a home that is victimized by bigotry, poverty, and violence--from a broken home characterized by alcohol and drug abuse and incarcerations--you live by a different code. It is tragic because in all likelihood, we failed him more than he failed us, but society does not think that way.

I believe there's two plans for the panthers. Plan A- land a BY type of haul for a trade back. OR Plan B- Draft a georgia dog at 8. Disaster Plan no trade back and no georgia dog. Draft either Tmac or Tyler Warren
