Anyone think Oakland shooter Lovelle Mixon brought on his own problems?
Question by sandand_surf: Anyone think Oakland shooter Lovelle Mixon brought on his own problems?
His family said he was frustrated that he missed opportunites and wasn’t getting any breaks. Um, dropping out of high school isn’t going to help you get any breaks dude, number one. Number two, getting caught with crack and going to jail is not going to look good on your resume.
Now tell me, is any of that anyone’s fault but his own? Did anyone put a gun to his head and make him drop out of high school? It doesn’t cost anything to go to school in this country. Sorry I can’t have sympathy for a person who repeatedly made bad choices, instead of trying to improve himself or at least lead a normal life.
Story also goes on to say that he got married while in jail (she must have had high standards for herself) and she left, and he fathered a kid with someone else. Does anyone use common sense or think for a second about the ramifications of their actions???
OAKLAND, Calif. – Lovelle Mixon died at 26, hiding in an apartment, shot by police during a gun fight that left four officers dead and stunned a city already plagued by violence.
Court records show a lifetime of wrong turns spent largely behind bars. Family members, angry and upset after their loss, describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.
He “figured his life was over,” said Todd Walker, of the Khadafy Foundation for Non-Violence, speaking on behalf of the family outside the Mixon home. “He didn’t want to go to back to jail.”
Mixon was a high school dropout whose first felony charge came soon after he turned 18. He was arrested in 2000 with crack cocaine and marijuana, and got 30 days after a no-contest plea to the cocaine charge, court records show.
Just over a year later, in 2001, he was arrested again for stealing six PlayStation video game consoles from a Target store and a nearby Toys R Us. That meant another 30 days in county jail.
Mixon applied for a work furlough program through the Alameda County Sheriff’s department in 2001 but was turned down. “Applicants’ past case of violence could pose a threat to the program, staff and community,” records documenting the denial state.
Thanks for that info – I forgot to mention that he was linked to at least one rape. But he really was “just a nice kid who got bad breaks”……don’t make me sick!
