I say "save" meaning, recover his life so it isn't a waste. You see the problem, right?

You know the story, if not, here's a brief history:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/houston-teen-accused-paralyzing-woman-jugging-robbery-200000-bond-cut-half

* Pulled a gun on some people, $100 bond and released... stupid system!

* Attacked a woman stealing money, she's in traction now for a long time...

...

The woman, Nhung Truong, thankfully has family for support, but I can only imagine the support required. Look her up and help her out... you can do that by providing money, praying, helping others. After all... what do you do if you have to work, pay bills... and you are now paralyzed? This requires community support.

Do your homework, I believe this is the correct gofundme

... SAVING Him...

Here's the truth..."hurt people hurt people"! The young man, no matter how this goes... will be out of jail... that's our stupid system that bases decisions on "time" not "problem solved". Would you take your car to a mechanic, and he says..."took 5 hours... car released"! You ask, so the "so it's fixed right"? "No sir, spent time, send home... call us back if have more problem". WTF? That's what we do with messed up humans.

No you wouldn't, you'd lock up til fixed or dispose of that car because it's too far gone. So let's see your plan, since this is your world. My plan is he's immersed in God/Jesus Christ until his underlying emotional problems are resolved. Then he's retrained for job skills.. then F#$@#43ing released.

We gotta be smarter than this... could be you or me next...

“The arguments echoed those that had been made for decades: the pro-suffragists insisted women’s vote would improve the lives of women and children and fulfill the American promise of self-government; the anti-suffragists warned that it would lead to open warfare between men and women, destroying families across the country. While the debates were not unusual, the setting was: the Woman’s University Club. All the attendees – and debaters – were women, including the ones arguing against women’s suffrage.” -

Honest Q. Literally.

Or just another country to love?

I don’t think so. Not in a bad way, but man power and male drive to achieve, conquer and prosper is different.

It might be borderline…but I wonder what a regular guy would be accused of. Crowdsourcing his innocence.

Not really a mistake since it was intentional, but a terrible thing to do?

Just wanna see a show of hands on this one basically. not gonna elaborate or argue. ill leave my opinion out of this one.

Note 1: I found the following information from the article 2 link above...

The top 5 “Slave Transporting European Countries”:



Portugal
Britain
Spain
France
Holland



The top 5 “Slaves Delivered-to Destinations”:



Brazil
Spanish Empire
British West Indies
French West
(***Note: there is a tie of 2 destinations for 5th place***:) British North America & U. S. / Dutch West Indies

Note 2: This question was inspired by the following question…

Do you support the idea of “Reparations Payments” being given to eligible Black persons “to atone for centuries of slavery & systemic racism” (& WHY)?

…and was specifically inspired by @grega239 saying this on that question: “Are the African coutries that sold slaves to europeans also [going to] pay reparations?”


Note 3: With the above in mind, “Should countries which have traded/imported Black slaves be made to pay their fair share of reparations money to be given to Black slave descendants?”

Note 4: Choose the answer-option that most closely matches your response to this question.
