I was curious to see whether anyone here had any situations happen in their lives that could've been shown on AMW. I know we've had relatives of fugitives and victims, and even victims themselves post here, but I was wondering if any regular posters had anything happen in their lives. I have 1.
Back in middle school/junior high, I didn't run with a good crowd. We were in southern Oklahoma, just 30 minutes from Texas, and we were just a bunch of punks and thugs. We would shoplift, tag buildings, drink, smoke weed, etc. While most people couldn't care less, since it was when I was 10-13, it's safe to say I was heading down the wrong path. Eventually, we moved to Illinois, where I cleaned myself up. But back then, I had a friend, who I'll call Barry. Me and him were close friends, playing video games together, spending the night at each others homes, etc. But it was clear where he was heading. Barry had a brother serving decades for dealing with gangs connected to the Sinaloa cartel. Looking back, it was obvious where he'd end up, but I didn't think like that. After I moved, we chatted a few times, but that was it. In late 2009, a mutual friend told me that Barry was wanted in regards to a shooting that happened not far from where I lived. Basically, he and another guy shot up these apartment complexes, hitting one guy in the leg, and a 2 year-old girl in the stomach. Luckily, she survived. He fled, was on the run for a few months, and was eventually arrested and is serving time. I was just amazed he was capable of doing that, and thought how weird it would be if he was shown on AMW.
Anyone here have their own story?
