[QUOTE="donna723, post: 636749, member: 1883"] WM, I don't want to sound harsh but I think you're still not hearing what we've been trying to say. You're still putting the bulk of the blame on others, still making excuses for him. And you're minimizing his involvement in this incident. No matter what the other young man did or did not do, your son was a very willing participant and the court will not have the least little bit of sympathy for him because he was on drugs at the time. No excuse. He is totally responsible for his own actions. And that "tap" with a pipe you keep referring to was no little light "tap". In one of your previous posts you stated that the victim had to be transported to the emergency room for xrays to make sure his leg wasn't broken! That is not a harmless little "tap". And as we've said before, if your son does go to prison, the worst thing he can do is to get in a "click" (clique?). These aren't harmless little social clubs, they're dangerous, violent GANGS and if your son is smart, he should keep as far away from them as possible! The gangs are responsible for a huge percentage of the violence in the prison systems. It is entirely possible to be a prison inmate who is NOT affiliated with gang activity and get by with no problems. In fact, that's what the majority of the inmates do. What I wish you could do is to try to put yourself in the position of those victims and the parents of the victims. Can you even imagine how terrified these kids must have been when they were suddenly confronted with two masked men, one carrying a gun, the other a length of pipe? And I guarantee you they didn't know it was just a BB gun! If someone is threatening you with a gun, you would be so terrified you wouldn't be closely examining the weapon, all you would see is a GUN! And then for one of them to be assaulted with the pipe hard enough to be taken to the hospital? This was no small thing and will probably give them bad dreams for years to come. Those kids were minors, in the eyes of the law they are "children". And if I was the parent of one of these kids, I would be livid! Your son did a very serious thing, it is entirely his responsibility and no one elses, and he must be willing to take the consequences. And you need to realize that and must learn to accept whatever comes because if you can't, you will have a very hard time of it. [/QUOTE]
