If you mean 'could'. Inspiration only works if there is a will to be inspired. What I see time and time again in video clips on YT is that entire groups are lost who only get inspired when they can steal a car and then get chased by the police and when they are stopped they argue that they did nothing wrong and use a lot of words, while with their insane driving style they could have killed many people. Then they end up before the same court without acceptance of responsibility. That group, and most here know which one I mean, cannot be inspired. To them, bad is good and good is bad.

That and the highly unfeasible path of a professional athlete. I wasn't raised in a violent area, but boy does it affect me. It's not a good thing that people of my own kind make up more than half of all violent crimes in the US. I've researched this stuff for months, and the more I do, the more I realize how useless we look and how embarrassing this all is. Something needs to change, but the ignorant won't think of paying attention.

[@Aaronxxi]

@@jumpy2783i agree with you. As a half black person it disappoints me when black people refuse to criticize each other but rather defend them just because they are black. It should be the opposite, they need to criticize the bad things about black people strongly and praise the good, I’m not saying all black people behave a certain way or whatnot but there is definitely many black people that defend black people no matter what and that needs to change.

There was a psychopath girl that got rehabilitated and she never tried to murder anybody ever again she went to a farm Rehabilitation Center which are much better than the hospital rehabilitation centers new studies show through CAT scans and asking inmates questions have proved that Psychopaths and sociopaths can feel empathy it's just easier for them to turn it off and a lot of these inmates and that little girl were severely abused and neglected he's still very young he can still be helped

[@jasminefrichtl806]

New cat scan studies show that Psychopaths and sociopaths can feel empathy is just easier for them to turn it off and most of them have been abused that are in jail more neglected in some sort of way by their family there was a little girl who murdered some baby birds and enjoyed it and she was severely sexually abused before she got adopted after her parents died and she had a really nice adoptive parents but she was already messed up from being abused and she tried to kill her much younger brother and molested him she was very young it's not her fault she was like I think like 6 years old they sent her to a farm Rehabilitation Center of cognitive empathy building and taking care of animals farm animals that were also abused and rescued and she had a strict routine new weapons in the house should be locked up at night time counseling she had choir class and spiritual teachings and she finally stopped trying to kill people and animals after 6 months now she's a psychotherapist and she helps other people who are severely abused he's pretty young still I think he can be rehabilitated he had some pretty weird parents I mean they didn't severely abused him but looks like they neglected emotionally wise which is just as bad as neglecting a kid with mental health issues physically wise and there's kids that are older than 6 years old kids that are 10 years old all the way to age 16 and older that have rehabilitated after doing horrible things that successfully rehabilitated so I don't understand why you don't think he can I think you're just not well educated about it

This kid was fucking failed. The guy got neglected for years (his parents would leave him home alone so they could go out drinking, all while he was under the age of 10), CPS didn't do anything to get him out of that home, and his parents never got him therapy even though he was clearly suffering from hallucinations and other severe psychiatric issues. Even when directly confronted with evidence that Ethan needed help, they did NOTHING. How they haven't been tried yet is beyond me. As somebody who used to be a lot like Ethan but got the help needed before anything terrible happened, this whole situation disgusts me. So many lives lost, and it all could've been prevented if people fucking gave a damn.

They both got 10-15 years. And I agree totally with every word you said. We have a son we adopted as a baby who is exactly like Ethan. We have spent his entire life getting him help, drs, therapists, treatment, medications. We never left him alone, we always kept and took him out of potentially harmful situations. There’s no excuse for not being diligent as a parent when lives are at stake. It would literally kill me if my son hurt anyone. I feel sorry for him and I feel sorry for Ethan. No matter what, they are humans. This all could have been prevented and his parents are to blame period. Also, the fact that we cared about him and his future, we had all of the help from everyone we dealt with at his schools, with his drs and treatment facilities. The help is there you just have to be willing to get it.
