Reply #190: if the kid is dope sick then stealing a car may well seem like a good idea [View All]

plus if you take the car to the ghetto to score you can probably get a deal for a hot car against some heroin and crack real easy because the gangs that sell the drugs steal and process stolen cars (amongst many other things) and drug addicts going to the ghetto to score pretty much all know this. The laptop and the gps would have been for a dope sick junkie scared of hard time and could usually be traded directly to the dealer too like the car but way easier to hide until arriving in the ghetto.

a junkie would not usually want food as heroin, crack and meth all make people not want to eat. now having parents who are junkies and dont see the need to buy food may indeed make a kid have shitty clothing and no food to eat...... or having parents who have been laid off for too long and are dirt poor struggling to keep a roof,and food but someone got sick, bills etc and a moslty empty fridge with beans and no meat. they see food, good food, and are hungry and poor and got shit clothing and all .... i would not convict such a kid thinking that anything beyond restitution for the dollar value of the food to the victim is exagerated as punishment.
