I really admire the work of former drug kingpin Stacey Robinson who suffered heartbreak when he lost one of his two sons to gun violence at age 22 while his second son who is 28 years of age is currently in prison on gun related charges.
Robinson was sent to prison in Virginia for 24.5 years for selling illegal drugs as a teenager.
After seeing for himself that living a life of crime caused him heartbreak, he made a promise to God that he would start a program that with the help of churches in the Norfolk region called KIND which is an acronym for Kings In Need Of Development to have mentors teach teenagers how to find work skills so they can live an honorable life.
In a world of madness, it is nice to see a former drug kingpin who gave his heart to the Lord to give his testimony at the Olive Grove Baptist Church on Sunday to tell teens that the gangster lifestyle leads to misery.

Yes you are right since a reformed criminal can set a great example of telling kids that the gangster life is not pretty.

That means a criminal has the chance to live a good life and be law-abiding and a solution to the social illness as reformed person with a Christ-like attitude and love for mankind.

I hope so as well since a reformed criminal is the best person to steer kids away from a life of crime.

I agree with you since Stacey found out that hard way that living a life that causes misery to his clients is not the way to be happy in life.
