Yesterday before my in LA trial I’m working resumed, there was a violation of probation hearing for a black 19 year-old offender who was represented by the public defender. He was out of jail on his own recognizance He was 6 foot four 260 pounds of failure and violence. I don’t know what his original crime was other than it was violent. He had a long rap sheet for other crimes. He had failed recent drug test after drug test. His appearance was that of a big bully.
The judge read from social service and psychiatric reports that disclosed the following. He had graduated from a Los Angeles public high school. However, actual testing revealed that he only had a reading comprehension at a third grade level. What’s the shocking? No, it was another solid indictment of our teachers union and the public schools in Los Angeles. Adding to the human disaster was that he was also jobless and homeless with zero prospects
This lad’s life was destroyed before he ever had a chance. He is an example of Darwin’s law on steroids. This kid must be kept off the streets because he won’t or can’t redeem himself. How many thousands of these walking time bombs are on our street.
