For the record…
#1. I did NOT go to “jail”. I went to Juvenile Detention. There’s a HUGE difference.
#2. I’m not in a gang. I know gang members, and YES, there ARE gang members in Hot Springs. I’m not going to repeat myself anymore to people no willing to accept the fact that there are. Perhaps it’s not “organized crime”, but people have to realize that these groups of people are not the gangs in whole, they are called “sets”, meaning that they affilliate themselves with a gang, and that determines how they are aligned, or “set, with the other groups in the area. Most importantly, they are groups of people who are simply defending their own place, their block or neighborhood. Police recognize these people as gangmembers, trust me on this one, because my probation officer, Andre Young, used to be in the gang task force in Seattle, and a gangmember on top of that, or so he says. If he tells me that these people are gang members, I’m gonna believe him on that much. And as I said, I’m not in a gang. I’m just tired of all the drive-bys near my house.
#3. I DID NOT go to this “jail” that you speak of for being with gangmembers. I went there because I violated my probation. Stop making a big deal about it, okay? I only got on probation for missing school to begin with. It was never anything outrageously terrible. I’m a good person.
#4. I’m not into these “drugs” that all of you speak of anymore. In fact, I’ve been clean for 37 days now. Give me a little credit, eh?
And my P.O. says I don’t have any self-control. Shows what he knows.
