One of the questions says when is the time that you’ve seen someone do something and get away with something that was wrong and they probably shouldn’t have gotten away with? And this is a little bit of rumor, a little bit of fact, a little bit you got to know somebody.
My cousin, and his cousin — the one not related to me, opposite side, got arrested as juveniles for armed robbery and transporting drug, trafficking drugs, and a few other things as 15-and 14-year-olds. And they were both like, like I said, arrested at the same time, caught at the same time, committed all the same crimes but because my cousin’s cousin was one year younger my cousin got labeled the ringleader, charged as adult given 5 to 25 years and the 14-year-old was given 6 months in juvie. And let me tell you that 14 year old, while this whole thing was happening, the armed robbery, the transporting the drugs, the everything, they were going across state and back, was wanting to shoot people at rest areas, but my cousin was not letting him and telling him “What the –” you know, “Heck are you thinking that you cannot do that, we’re just using these guns basically for show to get what we need to get and do what we need to do. We’re not robbing people at the rest areas. We’re just going across state, we just needed a car that’s why we did the armed robbery.”
Anyway. So that kid gets six months in juvie. And then a couple years later, just a couple blocks from where he lives, they’re building an apartment complex. And it burns to the ground, right? And all these rumors start swirling, and people saw a certain person running from it, and people saying it was him. It was the one who was 14 who was arrested with my cousin. And the reason that we all believe this probably is true is because there was also an insanely tragic incident. When that person, the one who we believe burnt down the apartment complex they were building. When that person was younger, we also believe they may have set their house on fire. And again, that’s more of a could’ve, would’ve, nobody really knows the truth of it but we kinda do know the truth of it. Nobody wants to say it because other people were harmed, you know?
But, so this kid has been setting fires since he was young, wanted to, you know, off people when he was committing other crimes, that were not as serious. And then gets off with six months in juvie for his part and we think commits another terrible arson worth millions and millions of dollars in damage. And honestly, God only knows where that person is now in life, I don’t talk to them, I don’t follow them on any sort of social media or in life in any way. So God only knows where they are now and what they’re doing. I hope not hurting anyone. But yeah. That’s when somebody got away with a couple things, they probably should have got way more in trouble for.
