Saints & Roughnecks

1. One of the reasons that the Saints were overlooked for their delinquent behavior was their academic success.  The Saints usually maintained an A or B in classes while the Roughnecks would fail or get very low grades. The Saints would drink and get drunk in bars while the Roughnecks would be drunk in public. The Saints did also financially okay while Roughnecks had tougher times financially. Of course, people usually look at people’s backgrounds to see if there way of life is influenced by their home-life. The Roughnecks had it rougher and therefore were blamed for many of their criminal acts. Since the Saints didn’t have it as tough, people really didn’t point fingers at them. It’s all about the environment everyone grows up in. If you have it rough, you’re going to have rough stereotypes on you, even if you aren’t that bad.
2. Not necessarily a serial killer but he killed someone. I forgot his name but we went to one of his motivational speeches that he has to do for community service. He killed someone while texting and driving. His life changed forever because of what he did. He served his time and jail and now has to go around doing talks for part of community service. He can’t drive and relies on people to drive him to work. Not only does it affect him but it affects his wife and kid. One small action can change one’s life forever. Now he has to live with guilt of killing an innocent man for the rest of his life.
