NO Ivy they are not all like that, but as I stated before we all know where the majority of the crime comes from and who is causing most of the problems. This is trash that needs to be in jail with those so often defend.

what's to say he held his son? just because he fits a stereotype of what a good father should look like? let's follow the sale-trail and see where some of those drugs ended up - 70805 maybe? where's all the posters who can't wait to label criminals as "animals", "thugs", or make stereotypical assumptions that "they're all like that"?

this is so foreign to me, and most everyone else i would think. how can someone take their own child, a baby, an infant they had held in their arms and turn them into a criminal on purpose?

Well, at least Dad is still in the picture - for what good that did. Is this one of those family values some on the right are always touting?
