On His Own

A detainee from Mexic has been ordered to be deported by the judge. He knows no one in Mexico. He has been in the U.S. most of his life living on the streets. His mom was physically abusive and he never felt loved. His dad left when he was a baby. He's been on his own must of his life. He chokes back the tears as I sit listening to his sharing.

Stories like this are a dime a dozen if you're in the right place to listen. No doubt, people like them and myself should have never committed crimes. There are no excuses. However, there are motivating factors.

With compassion, changes are possible.

Please explain the motivating factors that caused you to hold captive a husband, wife, and two young children in their own home for over five hours?

Please explain the motivating factors that caused you to strip naked your female victim at gunpoint, and threaten to rape her in front of her husband?

Please explain the motivating factors that caused you to commit assault with intent to commit rape.

I have followed your case since early this year, and read what the press writes about you.

Your supporters may claim you only committed "robbery", but if you truly are reformed, then know in your heart you did much more than that.

You took away an entire family's sense of security and well-being. You violated the sanctity of their home.

Why don't you detail the full account of that night on this blog, and let your supporters judge you based on the truth of what you did?

No excuses, just detail the night of your crime minute by minute.
