That's just great. Though I may buy into the idea that you are "reformed"
now that you are 10 years removed from your criminal activity. This kid
isn't even 6 months removed from his criminal activity yet. So no, I will
not give him the benefit of the doubt and neither should Securepoint or
anyone else...except maybe his mother.
