When Help Shows Up After a House Fire, It Might Be Gang Members

[Savvir]

Born in 1984, Jatiek Smith went on to build a long arrest record, with convictions for assault, harassment, weapons and drug charges. He was 20 years old when he went to prison after a criminal sex act conviction involving a minor in 2005. After his release three years later, he returned to prison in 2014 for three more years after a drug arrest and conviction.

This wouldn’t have been an issue in Cali. They would have took care of him long before. These gang offshoots don’t have any code. They just copy the branding. NY lost.

The age of the girl and the circumstances might have something to do with it. He was 20 so girl in question could've only been a few years younger than him to be considered a minor. I doubt inmates really care that much about a 20 year old fukking with a 16 or 17 year old. Also, a lot of gang members are into the pimping/trafficking world also and target teens.

Gangs being hypocrites per usual.
Because if it was a civilian, they would've took him out, no question.
