Compassion

We should show compassion towards gang members because  although there are evil people in the gang world but there are those that want a change. Perhaps a six year old boy named William grew up i a household where both of his parents would beat each other and their son. And perhaps this innocent young boy did not know that was wrong. That those violent actions were a way to show affection because his education never taught him otherwise ten years later he has failed school and no teacher tries to help. They assume he is naturally stupid and that he is a helpless cause. He joins a gang and kills people and he does not understand what he is doing is wrong. He believes he is killing other gang members to save innocent people. He believes by killing a young child he could save them from a tragic life or erase another future opposing gang member. Although this is not every gang member on the streets some have similar stories. We should learn to be compassionate to these people so they can understand the meaning of life rather than that kind of dark tragic one. We should not forgo gang members wanting to change because a majority of them do not want to. testing.
