Well, let me tell ya about this young man, Desean Stanley, who got himself into a heap of trouble. Now, I ain’t one to gossip, but folks are talkin’ ‘round town about him. You see, Desean is just 18 years old, but already, he’s got himself tangled up in some mighty serious stuff. They say he’s from Detroit, and if ya don’t know, Detroit’s not the safest place these days, but still, that don’t excuse what he’s done.
It all started when he and another young feller, Armarion Gaskin, who’s 21, got caught up in a string of crimes. Now, Desean, bless his heart, he’s been charged with 12 felony counts, and that’s a lotta trouble for anyone, let alone a young man just startin’ out in life. They say he was involved in stealing vehicles, and breaking into places that ain’t his. Ain’t no easy way to say it—he’s been caught red-handed with three counts of breaking and entering and two counts of taking cars without permission. That’s some serious business, folks.
The police ain’t makin’ no excuses, and neither should anyone else. They’ve set his bond at $500,000, which is mighty high if you ask me, but it’s probably the only way to keep him from runnin’ off again. Armarion, his partner in crime, got himself a lower bond, set at $25,000. But don’t be fooled, both of ‘em are still in deep water. This here case is gonna be a tough one for both of ‘em to shake off.
Now, from what I’ve heard, Desean and Armarion weren’t too smart about how they went about their business. They hit up the Pinckney Chrysler place, steal cars like it was just a stroll in the park. But you know what? When ya mess around like that, eventually, you get caught. And that’s just what happened. The police got onto ‘em quick, and now, they’re payin’ for it. This ain’t just a slap on the wrist, folks. This here is felonies, and we all know that felonies stick with ya for life.
It’s a shame, really. Here’s a young man, just 18, with his whole life ahead of him, but now he’s lookin’ at a year in jail and maybe even more if the court don’t go easy on him. A year might not sound like much, but trust me, it feels like a lifetime when ya locked up, can’t go nowhere or see your family. And what’s worse, he’s got 12 felonies hanging over his head. Ain’t no easy road back from that. Folks say you gotta pay for your mistakes, and he’s gonna be payin’ for a long time.
Now, I ain’t one to judge too harshly, but sometimes, the choices you make as a young person follow you around for a long time. I just hope Desean realizes that he could’ve done so much better than this. The world’s got a lot to offer, but if you’re stealin’ cars and breakin’ into places, you ain’t gonna get far. This ain’t how you build a future, I tell ya that much.
There’s some folks that still stand by him, sayin’ he’s just a product of his environment, that he ain’t had no guidance, or didn’t have the right people to show him the way. I hear that, and maybe there’s some truth in it. But at the end of the day, it’s your choices that count. Ain’t nobody can live your life for ya. You gotta decide what kinda man you wanna be, and it looks like Desean’s still tryin’ to figure that out.
I reckon this whole situation is a lesson to all young folks out there. Life ain’t gonna hand you nothin’ for free, and if you want somethin’ good, you gotta work for it. This here story of Desean Stanley is just a reminder that bad choices can mess up your whole future. Ain’t no way to sugarcoat it—crime don’t pay, and it sure don’t make your life better. It’s a hard road from here on out for him, but I hope he learns something from it all, and maybe, just maybe, he’ll get a second chance to turn things around.
