Hardly an Angel
Police on Monday are asking for the public's help for information in the brutal murder of a 15-year-old CPS student found burned and shot in a South Side gangway Saturday afternoon.
Alex Arellano, of the 8900 block of South Escanaba, was found badly burned with severe head wounds, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. He was found dead in the 3000 block of West 54th St., about 11 miles from his home.
[...] Police said Arellano had no criminal history and was not affiliated with a gang.
Because someone is liable to come along with a saw:
He's even wearing the same freaking t-shirt! Call us naive, but that sure looks like he's broadcasting some sort of gang affiliation. Are those "bunny ears" he's throwing up? And the left hand disrespecting who? This was a simple MySpace search by a few readers and forwarded to us.
Granted, very few people deserve to get beaten, shot and burned like this kid was, but he wasn't some innocent child murdered out of the blue. He hadn't been to school since September 2008, didn't look like he was going to school any time soon, was running around a war zone eleven miles from home and represents on a social networking site.
Someone from News Affairs want to make a retraction about what this kid was about?
UPDATE: We guess someone doesn't want the website and the pictures of him throwing up for the nation to interfere with the "altar boy" image, so they took down the web page. Good thing we saved the photo in time.

hhhmmmmmmmmm, he is throwing up the "two six" sign and throwing down the latin kings... two six and latin kings are enemies and at war... he was brutally killed and found dead in the heart of latin kings "crown town" neighborhood... nah, im sure its not gang related at all...right?... the news said so.
naw dont bother....
THE POOR FAMILY WILL TRY AND GET CASH FROM THE CITY B-CUZ NOBODY WANTED TO DO A MISSING REPORT.
THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE ALL CIVILIANS IN MEDIA AFFAIRS B-CUZ KNOW ONE DOES ANY BACKGROUND ON ANY CASE... OH J-FED U IS A STROKE
HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO AND WATCH OUT FOR THE SWINE FLU TOO.
chipmunk cheeks gouddie knew!
so did the pamster I'll bet
cookoo
Do you think any of the offenders of this heinous crime ever watched "The Shield" series. First grenades popping up around the city and now purning people or is it folks?
I saw a CNN story about him. They made it seem so tragic and as if he was not complciit in his own murder. Thanks for clearing that up.
God bless the CPD and nobody else.
They were talking about him on KISS FM today from 11-1230... Yeah someone really had it out for this kid and regardless if he was looking for it or not he shouldn't have been killed like that! What happened to just getting your ass kicked as a warning? I doubt it was just the action of one person... This is a terrible story and who ever did it i bet wasn't much older then him. I can't help but wonder if Daley watches the news, of course him and Weis will both talk about how terrible it is BUT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO STOP IT? WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO PREVENT SUCH ACTS OF VIOLENCE FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE???
WEIS MAKES WHAT OVER 300K AND WHAT HAS HE DONE TO EARN IT? AT THE RECENT LT'S GRADUATION DURING THE OATH HE CALLED THEM OFFICERS, HE CAN'T EVEN READ AN INDEX CARD PROPERLY!!!
****************************************************
I FEEL THIS THERE IS A CENTRAL THEME.. HMMM CAN'T SEEM TO PUT MY FINGER ON IT!
Well, he's throwing the Latin Counts hand sign down, and it appears he is either throwing up the 26 sign, or possible the Dragons sign since he is originally from Dragon territory. Alter boy.....ya right.
The address they found him was 3041 a 54th place not st. Shit head Latin kings live next to abandoned building. If this angel lived at 8900 s escanaba that's a kings hood. But again the media prefers to publish this bullshit rather than our memorial march.
PS fuck u jfed.
funny...in both pictures...hes wearing that shirt representing his "hood"....now his parents are going to say he had six or seven of those...or...he really represented!!!
He couldn't go to Bowen because there are to many Kings and Dragons. Where was he killed, in King area, go figure.
Hasn't been to school since September...the beginning of the school year...8 months ago...hardly classified as a CPS student.
He is from 89th and Escanaba...that's prime time gang territory. What is he doing running around so far from home?
"almighty twelvth 5treet player5 -UR BABE WUZ HERE (4-29-09) 10:22PM"
That's weird, considering that 12st players are nowhere near where he live and where he was killed. Most 12st Players are from Cicero.
To all the liberal democrats:
He sure looks like a prince to me!
"This profile is set to private. This user must add you as a friend to see his/her profile. "
Well fuck me, now I'll never be added as a friend!
I wouldn't doubt if the news media is being "told" to focus on calling these kids "CPS students" to get some kind of additional federal money.
Even funnier:

"Granted, very few people deserve to get beaten, shot and burned like this kid was... "
I agree SCC. Good point. A very special few.
Is it true he was there for hours?
952: 19-Boy, no one is waving me down.
Squad: No callback. Handle accordingly.
952: I already did dummy, Im at lunch already.
911: No, you're the dummy. GPS is working again, bitch.
952: So what! I'm wearin aluminum foil GPS Defeating Bunny Ears, I bought at the F.O.P. store. So now you can't see me. Ha ha, squad.
Knowitall: Uh,ok...952 that's not you at Dunkin' Donuts at 47th and Kedzie, ignition off for 38 minutes?
952:(Shit. Fucking liar Donohue!)
Approx. 26 seconds later...
952: Squad, I sent you a message a while ago for a lunch followed by a quick personal. Didn't you get it?
911: Well yeah, you just sent it right now. Do you guys get two lunches now?
952: (Fucking hiring freeze!)
I'm sorry for the family of this POS. He lived the life he wanted to, Fuck him & his gangbanger buddies. No great loss !!!!!!!
Why does everyone want to make saints out of these cocksuc<<<< ?
The parents of these thugs have a responsibilty to take care of them & raise them Right !!!!
Adios Pendejo !!!!!!!
His parents, family are either stupid or blind. He was a class One banger !!!!!!!!!
Well it's obvious from looking at that picture this kid was a 12th Street Player. Over there on Escanaba that means he wanted to bang, but didn't want to pay the dues to be a King, probably why they ran him out of Bowen.
All the 12th Street Players over on the East Side are a bunch of nobodies following a loser with no power...
Another fucking boyscout bit the bullet. Are any of them motherfuckers really clean? The families and the media are always trying to make the dead shitheads look good. What a fucking joke!!!!
well anyway, like i said, we are nowhere close to running out of chicago public school students. This kid is no great loss to society. His families fault, nobody elses.
Nobody can grow up around 89th and Escanaba without getting dragged into some gang. There was a triple and later two single homicides within 2 blocks of where this kid grew up. Now the King war is moving south.
It's because of this video that the police aren't being sued, for whatever bullshit reason a fuckin attorney can dream up.
If the little no good mother fucker hadn't of run so much they would have just shot his ass just normal like so the family could have a regular gang banger funeral.
Now we will have endless all-call messages on the PDT about possible gang retaliation at this little jagoff's funeral.
Who gives a fuck? Sure not me, better now than after he kills some decent citizens, or maybe he has done that already.
So, now it's not enough to just shoot someone, they have to execute and then torch them. We are truly sliding into the 3rd world of human values. Perhaps we have more in common with Rio than just wanting the Olympics. Give us a jingle when you want us to take the gloves off, because you know, that day IS coming.

Probably trying to do some other gang banger and he got caught.
For the one year my son was in CPS I tried to educate the principal and teachers about the kids who wore all gold and black to school. "Oh little Juan likes those colorful clothes" was the reply.
And that was 20 years ago at Ebinger! The fools at Ebinger allowed the bused-in wannabe bangers from the K-streets to come to school late in full gang outfits and were too stupid to notice or to do anything. And a police officer/parent (me) was trying to educate them and they acted like they couldn't care less, as if I was making it all up. That was 1989.
Ya he runs with the easter bunny at 89th st.along with the three pigs,those gangs are always hideing those damn eggs.they are at war.we are looking with the big bad wolf with a bat a gun holding a gas can.cooter said

Bingo! Why do you think that "da mayor" makes a big play in the news for attendence the first day of school every year? The City gets paid as long as a "student" shows up for the first day of school, regardless if he/she ever appears for the rest of the year.
maybe he learned ''sign language'' in his sparetime....
News was reporting last night that his family said he had no gang affiliation, but was harrassed by gangs ... yeah, right.
just so you guys know after the two teen aged girls were killed by Hale School back in 95 by the Almighty Popes (lots of cops sons in that gang) they thought they were shooting at Latin Counts the police destroyed the Popes made em break up so they all became twelfth street payers they are now centered at 63 and Central and up and down Central ask the OD PO at 63 and Long how they act
fyi he is representing 12th players not the two six
That's weird, considering that 12st players are nowhere near where he live and where he was killed. Most 12st Players are from Cicero.
the 12th players are starting a faction on 89th & Exchange and trying to start one on 108th & Mackinaw
He was turning his life around...
I know, I know and Shortshanks is a honest mayor concerned for the well being of the folks and J-Pud is a super cop and the media can really find there way out of a phone both without a GPS....
and little Johnny here was a straight "A" student who went to church every Sunday and volunteered to help seniors grocery shopping, Not some banger...
and the alarm clock just went off, time to get up and make the doughnuts
He is as much a CPS student as I am a Law Student at Harvard. I am thinking about attending but have not got around to it yet.
Little Gangsters
This kid, 15 ,was adult enough to skip school all year!!!!!
At one time we had truant officers who were for the most
Part were retired, but still mobile, CPD officers.
It was the job of these court appointed officers to find out where little Juan
Has been for a month. If he went to México at least we had an
Answer.
You might have guessed I am CPS teacher who misses
the truant officers contribution to education very much.
Watch out boys and girls--the GPS in the car can be your worst enemy if your playing games!!! The GPS picks up in increments of every 5 seconds your location--It also can tell your traveling speed--It will track your route via a map--I saw this with my own eyes!! Be honest boys and girls---Its also irrelevant whether the PDT is on or not. Like always if you go to your jobs in a timely manner you will have no problems--Just do your job! That's what we get paid to do!
Don't you get it? The media is told to call them all CPS students to spotlight the mayor's anti-gun bullshit position. They follow his orders, if they know what's good for them.
How is he a CPS student if he isn't going to school? I guess it won't sell as well if you call him a DROPOUT GANG BANGER.
Such useless shits, these excuses for journalists we have in this town.
priceless, i like to see the expression on the face if some one shows the pic to mama, would she deny him then
What happened to just getting your ass kicked as a warning?
--What year are you living in? Fist fights stopped in the early 80's. Hello Reality Check!
I'm sorry for the family of this POS. He lived the life he wanted to, Fuck him & his gangbanger buddies. No great loss !!!!!!!
--Not sorry for the family. They raised ... or didn't raise him. They didn't want to own up to their responsibility as parents so they let him go to the streets and the streets took him. That's the way it goes.
what happened to being able to beating your kids bc they misbehaved
8900 s escanaba that's a kings hood

I heard of it on the news, another "Alter Boy" turning his life around. Well, I can't even say I'm sorry for the family (they raised him). I'm sure they will blame us, they always do. It's always the cops fault that little ding dong didn't grow up right. I do think it was a horrible way to go and I'm sure he realized his own lack of judgment in the last few moments of his life but he chose to do the things he did and who to hang around with. Don't blame us (the police) we didn't do this.
Yeah someone really had it out for this kid and regardless if he was looking for it or not he shouldn't have been killed like that!
5/05/2009 12:25:00 AM
-----------
He was killed by a GUNSHOT WOUND you MORON..
just like any other gangbanger.
As for setting the DEAD body on fire..
they saved the family the expense of having his gang-banging punk-ass cremated.
When will people wake up and realize that Chicago area newspapers and so called "reporters" aren't in search of the "real" story!? So much for truth in reporting they studied in Journalism school. They simply sensationalize and bend the truth to sell and make profit. If the story involves a police officer in any way shape or form, they are all about it to make it a negative representation. They along with citizens always speak about policing the police but when has the media ever done exposes of itself. NEVER!
A note to sympathizers. This kid was a gangbanger plain and simple. You play the game and this is what sometimes happens. Just one less gangbanger around to worry about.
5/04/2009 09:38:00 PM
But what about all of his illegal family that will cross the border for the funeral and not return home. Lose one gain 30-40 more. Never ending cycle
Bye Bye 26er!!!!!!!!!!!
There are lotsa good kids out there and for the most part they are prey for for the shithead juniors running around.
These kids stay inside almost their whole life and if they are smart they test out of CPS as soon as they can and get into a decent college away from Chicago. CPS has ruined more decent kids than any other institution; they daily run a gauntlet of teen predators, disinterested CPS administrators, largely mediocre union hack teachers and a city that lacks decent structural activities unless you are involved in a minister's pet overfunded program.
i'm talking about the decent kids here, not the "hardly an angel" kid whose family managed to pull the wool over the complacent media's eyes.
This is what he lived for!

Same shirt in both photos. I suspect they were taken by the same family members that had noooooo idea what the hand signs ment. ASSHAT!
I'm the police, been the police in a shit part of chicago for quite a while now and can't help but think that this kid was probablly a total piece of shit BUT he still was only 13 years old. Man, that is really young to die the way he did. I know that dying is part of the game they play, but to be beaten, shot, and set on fire. I mean, damn, that's some primal shit there. That's some shit the old mob would do to the worst of the worst that betrayed them.
Just imagine the final hours/minutes of this kids life. What a horrible, violent city we live in.
we need more police on these streets now!!!!
The shitbird's family took down his webpage, the link is dead just like him.
i hope for 1 million murders in chicago this year... all gangbangers and thugz... since the system won't do it let them kill eachother...
So where do we send money for his flower fund? He wasnt a banger.... The signs mean "I Love You" and Peace and not War.
P.S. I hate you J fed
Snethen's Law wrote that Alex Arellano's death was "his families [sic] fault", but c'mon now, let's be reasonable. The kid's demise was mostly his own fault and NOT mostly his family's, even if they were negligent in rearing him, correct?
A 15 year old has sufficient use of reason to exercise volition, to discriminate right from wrong, and to know that he does not yet know everthing, in which case he ought to have been going to school.
Nevertheless, Alex chose the easy path; Alex chose to yield to pride, to barbarism, and to evil rather than to disdain these. Perhaps he was more concerned that he would have been teased by his peers for being a goody twoshoes should he have chosen the path of humility.
At any rate, his suffering was self-made and self-borne. Let's not water down this lesson.
Those are not his hands. You evil Po-lese photoshopped them. He was going to be a civil lawyer and fight against you corrupt po-lese. Now the little angel is gone and it's all the Citys and po-lese's fault. Thats OK because we will show you with our big settlement for not protecting our child from the evil gangs.
Signed,
Parents with heads in the sand and dollar signs in their eyes.
Seriously though, can someone forward this picture to the news or at least save it for the civil suit.
Appearently he was not a boyscout and God knows what he was doing out on the street, but he was killed and the shithead who did it should pay even if the person he killed happened to be another shithead.
Real men of genius...each and every one of them. They will catch one and he will sing like a bird.
Prison terms for the whole crew.
When they get caught, they will wish they stayed home that night.
Gun crime equals prison time !
is his hair painted on???
SCC:"Good thing we saved the photo in time."

How is he a CPS student if he doesn't go to school? They need to just start calling them minors.
Minor criminals.

5/05/2009 01:56:00 PM
I had those same feelings. Yeah, he was a shithead, yeah he would likely do the same to others, but these kids have no choice. They can't possibly grow up any other way. They don't have any normal role models and no family structure to speak of. I see these baby mommas draggin their kids down the street, smacking them in the head and yelling at them, what do think is gonna happen when/if they become teenagers? I'm no bleeding heart, but I always feel bad when I see these little kids, they really have no chance.
He was turning his life around...

Excuse me, but did you see the fucking family on tv? They look like third generation bangers. One women, you couldn't tell if she was a man or woman all ragged up and shit.
What a piece of shit!!!
If the da mayor would just let Wal-Mart in the city then all these misunderstood teens would have jobs. Or an IKEA. He could spend his days putting furniture together for yuppies........
Yeah, wouldn't want his My Space page fucking up the lawsuit.
Nice reporting the truth SCC. Think about it people that's what we deal with everyday. "Oh my poor innocent child the police beat him...." Let the truth be known.
Why didn't our bright media pick up on this???
This really tells me how much the news media dosn't follow up on stories they report. Just take there word on everthing, what a shame.

There will always be preditors and other such evil out there. There will always be corrupt and terrible families that prepetuate the evil we all have to live with. What shocks the public, we see everyday and keep it in check. Never loose sight of the fact that you can't fix it all. Mantain the line between the good and the bad and keep the faith. There is no other option
I just happened to be channel surfing and saw on cnn a story about him and other yutes being killed in Chicago not one mention of his gang flashing just the family oh poor us.
tonight there will be a segment on anderson cooper about yutes in Chicago being killed I wonder if they will show mug shots or other pictures of some of them flashing signs hhmm.

Are you kidding me?? No choice my ass! I grew up in these same gang infested neighborhoods, however I had a family that cared about me and steered me clear of that lifestyle. I also had the personal fortitude to educate myself, and not be weak enough to fall for that gangbanger bullshit.
No choice, you bleeding heart liberal piece of dung. Take off the rose colored glasses and make these pieces of shit answer up and be responsible for the choices that they do make!
Funny ....
Since there is so many "leaks" and inside words and research being done by our own CPD brothers and sisters...
And we pride ourselves on scandal and knowing it all just like the media that we protest because the RUMORS can be truth in our FEEBLE minds..
Why can't the media brass relieve their payrolls of the USELESS reporting staffs and "scoop journalists" and INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS and just PAY US !
Or are they already secretly paying for the third hand information to our inside rats that hold onto files on the 5th floor!
NICE SIDE JOB!
Think of what you can make releasing info to a media friend you grew up with or know from social functions who in turn gives out the information third paty to one of his journalist buddies at the TRIB!
I guess you'll never get caught and you can make someones career at the papers quite successful while being a silent partner and railroading police by what you know or think you know and can find out from your inside position down at headquarters!
Keep giving the boys a heads up HONEY!
To the twice unpublished commentator:
Listen here stroke. We know he's flashing gang signs. So do a number of our readers. The only debate is which faction. There's no debate about it. Or didn't you notice his family took down the incriminating evidence as soon as it interfered with their narrative?
We deleted your sanctimonious bullshit because its obvious you're nothing but an overly liberal police hater with unresolved "daddy didn't love me" issues. We don't owe you or anyone else a forum to bash police.
Asshat.
scc, not sure if you ever did a post about gps, but here are a facts: a) only vehicles properly logged on with a working pdt may be tracked via gps b) the system shows, in real time, where the vehicle is at within 10 feet and its accuracy is scary c) the north side zones, districts 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, and 24 have the highest percentage of vehicles operating w gps all the time(including field supervisors and cd cars) d) oemc personnel have neither the incentive nor the inclination (for the most part) to use the gps to track cars---that is the job of the sgts. Many dispatchers are too busy--or too lazy--to even bother with it. Honestly.

The difference being you "had a family that cared" about you. Most of these shitheads don't even know who their daddy is, and are being "raised" if you can call it that, by their "auntie" or play god-mother. You lucked out, jagoff. Most of these kids don't get the start in life you had. Or claim to have had. But then you sound pretty fuckin bitter to me.

As if there were any difference between the asphalt on one side of the street or the other.
Reality check --
Dragons and Kings and all the rest don't exist as far as normal people are concerned, except to the extent they spoil a neighborhood.
No one "has to cho respet" to idiots.
No one normal reads, understands, or cares about the shit idiots smear all over the walls.
All the idiots already have a loud car stereo. Bzz, bzz, bzz. So what. 100 years of bzz, bzz, bzz and they'll still be an idiot.
All the idiots already have custom rims.
All the idiots already have baggy pants.
All the idiots already have big chains around their necks and great big shoes.
All the idiots already have fake diamonds in their ears.
All the idiots already walk around clutching their genitalia and shouting and making funny signs with their hands.
Every idiot in the whole world looks and acts and dresses the same. It's a package you buy, like frozen peas. They're just consumers.
The possibilities are getting kind of limited for idiots.
All this crap is just Los Angeles stuff from a quarter-century ago. Replay, rerun, rehash, same ol' same ol', boring, boring, boring.

Many dispatchers are too busy--or too lazy--to even bother with it. Honestly.
signed a veteran dispatcher who works all shifts and all zones.
holy crap!!! you work all shifts and all zones? you must be tired you poor thing... but thanks for the good info.
To 643PM.
Thank you. You said what I wanted to say.
These kids are abused by Mama's boyfriends, used as servents by foster mothers or eldery grandmas. Different men coming and going in their lives. No one cares if they're dressed warm in winter and they come to school without coats or hats. You would be amazed at how many teachers or nurses buy hats and mittens for these kids. Don't tell me about choices. What choice do these kids have? They only know what they are exposed to. The parents of that 15 year old should have been shot and burned! No, I'm not a bleeding heart liberal.
Let God judge. Most of the old coppers belonged to white street gangs (Gaylords,Royals). It was part of Chicago. If you guys can't take the job go back to the burbs and work at their PD. Nobody said it work be rosy when up signed up for the job! Please post this.

Wrong! And the only reason I'm calling you on it is because I think alot of people will justify the current gang culture and compare it to yesterday. The only "gang" alot of the old timers had in common was the Military and they made the best Police Officers.
He couldn't go to Bowen because there are to many Kings and Dragons. Where was he killed, in King area, go figure.
Hubbard has plenty of two-six....
throwin up 26, and throwin down LC... but whats he doin in krowntown anyways??? hmmm...
and it says gang members asked what he 'was'... u never know... those bangers coulda been 26, and little alex didnt say what he was supossed to say???
death before dishonor right???
Everyone has a choice, every day. This kid just made a lot of wrong choices. Sure, it may be more difficult to grow up in that part of the city, without a daddy or a mother that beats you or whatever other malady you may suffer. But let's be clear: you always have a choice.
Well I'm glad you guys have evidence this time and aren't making wild assumptions to demonize victims. This is sad, but it's sadder for his family, he left them to deal with all of this.

And let's be clear: no one is talking about when they hit this age. They're long lost at this point. We're talking about the little kids who have no options but to be brought up in this environment. There is absolutely no chance that they can turn out as contributing human beings...and regardless of what you say, these little kids have no choice. And undoubtedly they grow up to be shitheads like this one.
A baby rattlesnake is still a snake.
"Indeed, police say the teen had no criminal record, no gang affiliation. His family says he was well-behaved and shy, almost fearful of strangers. They had recently taken him out of school to protect him after gang members threatened him. "--CNN.com
wow.
Whoever is bitching about the M plate, we're not doing IAD's work for them. You got a beef, call IAD.
And we aren't god...just the blog owners. We don't owe you a platform.
WTF-why must they portray these shitheads as "another cps student killed" ? I wondered myself when they said where he lived vs where he was found??? not to hard to figure out-he was in the wrong hood up to nooooo good!!!
I try not to watch the news anymore-
The difference being you "had a family that cared" about you. Most of these shitheads don't even know who their daddy is, and are being "raised" if you can call it that, by their "auntie" or play god-mother. You lucked out, jagoff. Most of these kids don't get the start in life you had. Or claim to have had. But then you sound pretty fuckin bitter to me.

He was looking for trouble in the wrong neighborhood. he knew what he was doing and what could happen if he creeped around in another hood, come on....
"The only "gang" a lot of the old timers had in common was the Military and they made the best Police Officers."

...and today I've seen these officers' family members casually discard Dad's service record, medals -- literally a citation for the Battle of the Bulge -- and his old CPD shoulder patch with the pct. number.
Anybody with a heart, a brain, even one ball, and any backbone at all would have this framed on the mantelpiece; but a lot of old coppers' kids don't qualify. They're busy talking on their cell phone...
You know what? Although I was in a position to say something, I let the stuff go. Let it ride. When it comes right down to it, it wasn't my God-damned family.
If you have no heritage, no past, no pride, no sense of who you are and where you came from, I sure can't give it to you in a couple of minutes.
One writer called people like this "The Empty Ones."
I think we're surrounded...
This kid had not been to school all year. How does that make him a CPS student?
12th st players is what hes thrown up get ur facts strai people. . . and still i dont think ANYONE deserves to be killed especially not in that way. . . youse could write and write comments youse too cops but at the end god is the one and only whose judgement matters at the end of it all everyone will get what's coming to them no matter if they find them guilty or not God will punish them in the afterlife.
Wow
to the unpublished:
We have no idea why you're posting in a thread that's 7 years old, but here's a little clue for you:
All those suggestions about "redirecting" energy and "avoid[ing]" senseless violence, how about making the PARENTS do that? That's their purpose, right? We've got our own to raise and direct make sure they don't end up barbecued like this gang banging "pillar" of society.
Asshat
We already do "help" - for 8.5 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year (minus 24 days of vacation). We cajole, remind (by our presence) and enforce the laws. But the courts have failed by failing to sentence and hold those who break it. After that, we have our own lives.
Some of us volunteer. Some of us coach. Some of us are/were scout leaders. There are a myriad of ways we contribute to the community. Yet you're going to preach to us that we didn't do more to save this kid?
You're living in a fantasy world where everything is someone's fault except the people who had direct responsibility for doing the most import job in their lives - parents. And the point of the article was the media spouting off "what a great kid this was" and "he was just a normal child" when no one in the media did their job either and pointed out that his family failed and he turned to crime/gangs/street with entirely predictable and foreseeable consequences.
That's the true tragedy.
RIP Crispy Critter
