In Debt in Detroit

[@carlosraines1885]

Almost felt like crying the fact he said thank you for buying the car for me even after the judges ruling says a lot about this young man My prayer is that God will be his strength and protect him and bless his hands in everything he does the sincerity really just spoked too my Heart and this was a very honorable Episode .

[@MsBizzyRae]

I LOVE JM. I’m glad he wasn’t overly critical of the defendant. Young people typically avoid communication not because they don’t want to pay but because they don’t know how to communicate and are afraid that the plaintiff would not have understood. We need to teach young people rather than condemning them.

[@mymotherwasright3079]

Great episode! Opened up my eyes to another world out there. What Judge Mathis teaches I can't find in no books. I'm gonna start calling him, "The Professor!" JM educates, motivates, and adds a pinch of good humor.🤓

[@cassandra6710]

I have a small family and we struggle from time to time. I wish I had someone to even borrow a few dollars from time to time but I figure it out and make it through. Blows my mind how people have someone willing to help them and then screw them over. Really crazy.

he was a respectful young man and with these types of cases we dont really see that ❣

[@taytriggs9065]

We called them “The Jump Out Boys.” They’d come through in a paddy wagon and confront anyone of any age outside. I remember being on the bball court with a group of kids. We were fifth graders and just playing ball. We were literally shouting hoops and talking about a report we all had to do as a prerequisite for graduation. They jumped out ran up on us hands in the guns. They were yelling at us and made us lay on the ground. I didn’t live there but a friend who lived there asked for my help on the report. I tried showing them the paper of notes I was writing for them. They didn’t care. I’ve hated cops since.

[@chancest.thomas5160]

Traumatic...

[@laurenbianco5617]

We have "jump out boys" here to. They give no f****.

[@chrissmith4539]

With all the black on black crime that went on in Detroit, the jump out boys was needed. The way Detroit is currently out of control now with black on black crime, the jump out boys needs to make a return. Black men make their own communities unsafe. They don’t check and correct each other but those jump out boys will 😎

when the plaintiff said “I had good insurance” and shook his head and smiled in regard to his rehabilitation 😂😂😂😂😂

I know this is an olde episode but I hope that someone got into this young man's ear and let him know that college isn't the only way. Trade school. Studying tech for 9 months. The military. College can be great but generally it comes with great debt. The military will pay for your education after you get out of the service.

[@TSR228]

I'm sure at some point someone has. he's a kid from the suburbs. there are plenty of resources. you just have to want it.

[@MurphB]

The military will pay for school while you in too. (Just had to throw that out there)

[@frankrice9520]

Whelp kudos to Mathis for this case! Hope he gives the young Man some counseling and some assistance in getting into college!

[@ULTRXBLXCK]

A lot of folks coming down hard on that young man. A two parent household doesn't necessarily mean your parents know about going to college. Especially if neither has ever been. He's young and he's respectful. If someone pointed him in the right direction he'll be alright.

[@BiggYhaKC]

I lived in a 2 parent household. But what people didn’t know is they were really just 2 adults paying the bills. They didn’t parent me. They didn’t teach me anything. & it wasn’t b/c I was hard headed & wasn’t listening. I was literally just there in their way.

[@Lovely590-g1k]

2 Parent household means nothing except you came up more stable financially than some others, children turn out differently and environments play a big role more than anything

[@KayB-l5h]

Parents are not to blame for him not going straight to college. He said he thinking about college doesn't mean he won't go just means he not in no hurry. Doesn't mean it hasn't been drilled in him. He young and has time to get himself together. But he has to at least get him a job while he thinking.

The defendant wasn't going to win this case no matter what he said because he had no defense. But best thing to do always when deciding to purchase a home or vehicle is to get something new otherwise you may end up in an untoward circumstance.

[@ThickSenpaii]

Well to give my opinion that nobody asked for 😂 addiction is a form of mental illness. A "normal" or sound mind wouldn't even consider picking up those drugs in the first place. I believe that someone has to have already been suffering from some form of mental health to get on hard drugs. Whether it be ptsd, anxiety, depression etc... Hence why addiction is a disease. For example an eating disorder. When the mind is working properly it doesn't allow the body to overeat but when it's not and those receptors aren't telling the brain that the body is full it leads to an eating disorder. So it's the same with drugs in my opinion, when the receptors in the mind aren't working properly / or a chemical imbalance is present the mind is searching for something to feel good. Drugs can do that. A sound mind can smoke weed, and be done. A person that is suffering from mental health may not be able to "puff it and quit it"... they end up needing that feel good all the time, because they naturally can't produce the endorphins and dopamine to make them hence gateway drugs.
