Citizens of Shreveport..
think of what your Freedom means.. you can walk down the street, go shopping, and many many thing that your freedom allows you to do..
but Not thinking, and letting your emotions drive you and ignoring to utilize your ability to reason.. is what creates crime.. You as the individual must think.. and must act not with contempt and irrational impatience..
If you feel that you are strong then be strong enough to think..
Be strong enough to have patience..
and be strong enough to seek understanding that you may live and act with wisdoms grace.
ask yourself.. are you so weak and small in mind that you let minor agitation bring you to react with violence.
Are you so small in self that you wear your respect on your shirt sleeve and it's so fragile that it's shatter by an eye glance .. and lead you to violent acts.
Are you of so little heart that you disrespect yourself.. to put yourself in sa situation that can bring death to you, or someone else and incarceration of yourself..
do you know that when you go to jail.. your whole family is in jail.. imprisoned because of your irrational actions.
do you know if you have children that you label them for life as the child of a felon.. that you imprison them into the hell of your choices.
Are you thinking yet.. simply to see that you disrespect yourself and your entire family for every crime that you enact..
do you think so little of yourself and your ability that you have to steal from other people..
do you know that when you rob that you tell corporations not to come to our city and your action deprive you, and your family and possibly your kids of a job and maybe even an education too.
your actions are not just about you..
you embrass and humiliate your entire family when you engage in a crime.. and no amount of saying.. " Oh I should not ahve done that .. or I should have been thinking..
well do it before hand .. and you have not that regret to live.. but you have the freedom to engage opportunity..
you can utilize your time and effort to do something that honors your family, your children and your mother and your father, your sister and your brother..
You insult everything that life is with each crime you commit.. and until you stop to see so.. and when you stop to see so..
you will become responsible and self strong to not be a criminal.. but a functioning being in society..
