I Thought I'd Always Be a Criminal. Top Story - June 2019.
I am a criminal, I heard that so often that I believed it. My mother told me that my father was killed in a shootout with the police, so I grew up with this idea in my head of who I was based on things I was told. Turns out that my father died almost thirty years after my mother told me that he did. I grew up dirt poor and my step father was physically abusive to me and my sister. We moved to a new city every couple of years, I always felt that I did not fit in. Kids, being who they are, would tease me about my Goodwill clothes and my parents ugly car. I started to steal candy from the local store early on and I learned that if I gave candy to the kids that they would like me or at least pretend to. As I got older I began to associate money with acceptance. I never felt like I was good enough for people to just like me, so I bought friends often by stealing and hustling.

Reason First: How Did Unreason Lead Lamont Lacombe to Murder His Cousin?
To say that guns don't kill people, people kill people, is one of the most keen observations ever stated. Though somewhat of a cliché now, the statement rings true. In the case of a Missouri male named Lamont Devon Lacombe, 27, a disagreement over $45 led to the shooting death of his cousin Joseph Lacombe, 26, at Lamont Lacombe’s hands. Now two lives have been ultimately destroyed and damaged because one male emoted instead of thought. Lamont Lacombe represents the small-minded “go-with-your-gut” way of handling personal matters. Never did he stop to think that his actions would lead to such a horrific outcome.
