It's all about the tanklights
I can appreciate the moral aspect of helping those that need guidance. Hey I wasn't an angel in my early years and those that reached out and helped direct me to be a better respectful person (including my parents), I remember and am thankful they were there. But, I was remorseful and wanted to change. I was brought up that way...respect others and to live the golden rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
Even though I didn't at times in my younger years.
I did take time to speak with this guy after court. It was weird, as I have had so much anger towards him. He did say he was sorry but, said he was more sorry that he got caught....what?
I'm not sure he learned his lesson, but showing that he was remorseful was clearly not the vibe I felt.
He seemed annoyed that he had to travel 2 hours to come to court.
I tried to convey compassion during our short conversation but, left feeling unimpressed with his attitude.
Being a mentor is a great idea, but I don't want to see this guy again and feel he has a long road to travel to be a respectful citizen in the community.
Forgiveness is easy to do. But, for those that don't receive it with sincerity shows disrespect.
I'm a forgiving person but, after that visit with a young man that shows disrespect and annoyance with the inconvenience of being dragged into to court to be held accountable for his actions, I'll say, I didn't say "I forgive you".
It's not about the money at this point. I turly dont bekeive hell follow through with payments. Am I glad he's not in jail, sure I am. I don't believe jail is a productive atmosphere for such a petty action of a wrong decision.
Do I hope he grows up and becomes a better person, sure I do.
Do I want to help him do that....I would if I saw something in him that expressed sincerity to improve.
I hope he finds a support group in his area. He clearly needs it.
It's all about the Rescue / Revival and of course the Tanklights!!
How did I run out of room so fast?

I'm not sure about where you're at but in my area if you have restitution to pay you DO NOT get off probation until it is paid in full to the court. Of course you have to go get it or make arrangements. But if its concidered judgement that is paid back good luck getting it.
