kids how to be a man and how to not go out and act like a thug? i think that s the number one question. i have to say i get a little aggravated that the parents get off on stuff like this. this kid is going to fafo when it comes to prison. never going to step out free again. it s sad. four kids that don t have their dad that was doing his job and being an upstanding man for his family now he lost his life because these two kids wanted to play around and act like gangsters. it s inexcusable and disgusting. jesse: if you have a son and he is posting on instagram pictures with a pistol on his waist and flashing cash around like that. huh-uh. yeah. no. that s not going to happen in my house. no, no, no. i m going to set it straight. how do you not know that my kid, a, they are not even on social media. this is a mom territoryship up in my house. i do not allow. this isn t a republic. don t get we don t operate under any allusions. you don t have rights in my house. you are my kid.
