Just wanted to share what my late grandfather who was a correction officer for 38 years taught me. 1- never ever hit a woman and if she made me unhappy to just walk away. 2- he told me the difference between me and the inmates on death row is one bad decision so always make the wise decision 3- don’t ever let anyone drive your car.

When I was a kid in 1965 I went to a talent show given by prisoners in Huntsville State Prison in Texas. All the prisoners in the show were "lifers". There was an old white guy who had been in prison since 1912. He had killed a deputy sheriff and was originally sentenced to hang. In 1965 he had already been in prison for 53 years and was 72 years old, and blind and an excellent singer (lots of time to practice). I have no idea how long he ended up serving, but I'm sure he must have died there at Huntsville.

I am black and I dont mind he saying all that but he said there is no good of it but there is first he is the only living person who out lived his life sentence and second thing the men never tried to avoid to get out of prison not like others that have killed people and hide their bodies and play the innocent roll and try to avoid or even taking deals to not go to jail or for go to jail for long

[@DevinWilson651]

we know in this system there's systemic racism; thats just the truth of the matter. yes he committed an awful act of violence but i believe because of his color, and his ignorance he was took advantage of. since when do the judicial system ever care of blacks killing blacks i'll wait. His lawyer was right probably not politically correct but none of the less he was right. although i like Lamont at large video's but sometimes i feel like its not for him to speculate his opinion so much to where he sounds bias.i don't have to agree it and vice versa. But quit acting like ppl who kill ppl do 90% of their time all the time. my cousin was murdered back in 2014 stabbed to death by my other cousin's boyfriend; and got off scot free no jail time; need i say more, and he done the act before, and got off. whether the man didn't want to get his out via parole or whatever they should of let that man out at 25 to 30 years. They didn't want to kept getting that state money off him until they had to put him out. he did all his time they had no choice. they let him fall thru the cracks. he was fifteen. there's grown stone cold killers who been career crimminals that have been paroled, and back fourth that revolving prison doors some are blacks but mostly whites. He said there's no silver lining but he's only saying that because of the obvious. So its easier to say he fucked up, yeah but the system is also fucked up also.

I really wonder why more care isn't given to transitioning inmates out of jail, like letting them interact (in a supervised way) with the newest technology, etc., in some systematic program starting a few months before release. What do the Powers that Be think is going to happen, just turning people loose into a completely different world than what they have known? I have even heard of cases where people were released directly from long-term solitary...what the hell? Of course that won't end well.

I think him not wanting to leave prison had more to do with fear of the unknown. Getting a job and taking care of himself. It’s possible he didn’t have anyone who could help him. A lot of these men come out of prison and end up being homeless.

This was an important story to get out. Good job, Lamont. I don’t feel sorry for this man at all. He chose his paths and for that he’s an old man who wasted the gift of life. 15 isn’t an adult but at 15 you understand right from wrong. He didn’t care. He was all about getting his drink on. He was clearly rebellious and wouldn’t conform. The same is true for his prison time. He could’ve gotten out sooner, but he was not going to conform to the restrictions of probation. I think he became institutionalized and couldn’t face society’s expectations of him. It was easier to do 3 hots and a cot than to be a man and contribute to life and his surroundings.

I do AGREEEEE ✅✅ I have know PITTYYYY FOR THIS OLD MAN ✅

[@suicideblonde44]

The first thing I thought of was Shawshank Redemption, the old man who spent his life in prison and got out and could not cope with the changes in decades of incarceration. Maybe this guy saw that movie too often?

This is close to my town, Lamont. I’d definitely buy you a beer when you’re in town again.

This was the best talk coming from you since I've been tuned in to your station...

[@joanmilano5302]

Oh boo hoo, life was different when he got out of prison. At least he was alive. He stabbed and killed. Those men had no chance. They lost their lives. No sympathy here. I love your videos Lamont, keep 'em coming!

Ty Lamont 🤗 always enjoy your efforts. peace out

[@ronaldsteele6151]

That's gotta suck big time. Not only was he incarcerated at such a young age but released to a world he knew nothing about. The fashion, car's, jets, technology and everything else was new. As he stated, it was like being born all over again.

Oh well, Ends justify the means. Lamont has some great stories, and Mrballen on KZbin as well. Like Lamont said, if you think the System is rigged don't play the Game, well said I Agree 100%, Don't go around shooting or Stabbing and Killing innocent human being.

@Mister No Name the truth hurts when it doesn't fit your narrative or give you an excuse to commit crimes huh...get well soon my friend 😉

[@yoncbwl2738]

Well said and well explained, Lamont!!!

[@earltaylor6071]

Great advice! You covered this story well. Keep up the good work. I like how you stated that if you consider the game to be rigged because you belong to a certain group,then don't commit the crime or play the game.

[@cruelshoes30]

I always enjoy Lamont's rants and opinions, whether i agree with them or not. I hope he never stops being passionate in his craft. Plus, its entertaining as heck!

[@laurelvance5533]

Lamont, I so appreciate your sense of justice and I fully agree. My question would be, where were this young man's parents when he dropped out of school in the 3rd grade? Why was he not kept at home and disciplined by parents who were responsible for raising him properly? You're right...there is no winning side to this story. Thank you for sharing.

Great story Lamont! Thank you! 🏵🙂😎🌺

[@leoaleman3696]

No sympathy here, none. Two innocent men were brutally taken away from their families. Wether he stabbed one of them or not, we’ll never know, but he did admit to stabbing somebody, he’s an accessory to the crime. My dad was born in 1937, he had to quit school at a very very young age, so he never learned to read or write, not because he wanted to drink wine and run the streets, but because he had to help put food on the table by working in the agricultural fields. This man obviously had a serious issue with authority. He should feel blessed that he at least got out of prison and gets to die on his own terms.
