Titus Young new felony charges

Amazing. Honestly, how hard is it to stay out of trouble?
 
Let's go to Cliff and get his Final Jeopardy answer. "Who are people who have never been in my kitchen?" I'm sorry, that is wrong.

Wait a minute, Alex. I can offer conclusive proof that those three people have never been in my kitchen.

I had a 20 dollar bill come up missing. It was on the counter next to the microwave.
 
Maybe he should change his name to Tinnitus Young, since nothing coherent and sensible is getting through that psychopathic gray matter between his ears. But it seems like some people are just destined for prison, especially those in their late teens-20s who are committing the "lions' share of violent crimes.

He's got an illness .. he needs help.

Once upon a time people like Titus were declared insane and sent to the local asylum, thereby removing them from society. Nowadays he simply has an "illness" as if he contracted influenza. All he needs is "help", like a box of alkaseltzer and a few days rest will cure him. Did you look at Jefferey Dahmer and say "He's got an illness .. he needs help."?

Obviously I'm using an extreme example to make a point, but I won't fall for the guilt trip terminology. The words crazy, loser, and failure all apply to Mr. Titus Young Sr. The only person that I feel bad for is Titus Young Jr.
 
They do have illnesses. Jeffery Dahmer for sure did. They need help and more importantly they need to be separated from the rest of society that doesn't want to beat and feed on one another.

It's easy to just say "loser" and move on. But what do you do with the person? Incarcerate for a period of time so they can get out and do it again? There needs to be a better solution when we have 25% of the world's prison population in a country that represents 5% of the global population.
 
If you are committing crimes, you go to jail. I don't care if you are insane or not.
 
Since federal and most state mental institutions have been shuttered , conceivably/allegedly in order to "protect our freedoms" (ie...the taxpayers' pocketbooks), disturbed people like Young are instead roaming the streets often causing mayhem, committing violent crimes, and generally being a danger to the public until or IF they are caught and arrested. Then they are charged, convicted, and sentenced to jails and/or prisons where they "might" get evaluated and treated. but not always hospitalized. I really don't see how this method saves taxpayer $$$, considering that many if not most did not or haven't been able to support themselves prior to their imprisonment, and cost society much more in damages, physically, mentally, and economically.

Just seems logical..people don't do some of the things he does without a reason ..

Sometimes it's because of an illness.

Logical? You're assuming now....

He's been a troubled kid since he was a youth and as a young adult before he was drafted. I'll put my money on he's got a drug problem.

This was well thought out, intelligent, and pertinent. I'm not generally used to that. Thank you and good job.

He had talent. You can't deny it. Troubled youth, growing up in the ghetto. What's that, about 75% of the NFL? He was getting drafted regardless. Lions just get the worse of the worse....never fails lol
