I barely slept, this case still bothers me from the standpoint of the individuals involved just being a fraction of the whole in terms of that lifestyle. Looking at all those facebook photos of jalen watson and his friends, with all the guns/money/stolen jewelry/drugs that they seemed to have so little fear in proudly displaying for photos. They were bragging about this lifestyle of burglarizing people with all those photos. That part just makes me sick. There is even one photo of one who I believe is in the same circle of friends who is standing and flashing what I believe to be gang signs with both his hands and a very young child, maybe 2-3 years old imitating him with a big smile.
It's painful to see that kind of thing, because you know this is indeed a lifestyle and not some isolated events that happen on a whim every now and again. In that respect the mind has little trouble in seeing these individuals as ticking time bombs that eventually explode and do great damage to some innocent family in the right situation.
Every time there's an explosion, the world potentially loses someone like amanda who was such the polar opposite of this lifestyle and chose to take things that others saw as trash and proudly display that she made them into treasures.
Surely LE must have these feelings on a daily basis, being immersed in being the one dealing with the shrapnel and maybe even being thankful each time it doesn't turn into something like this case. San Clemente robbery is a good example. Should someone had woken up, things could have been tragically different.
Praying that justice is served. Sadly it looks like there are a lot more where these guys came from. Gangs scare the crap out of me, the mentality they have towards the quality of human life is terrifying.
