"It Is What It Is."
From A Former Gangster's Perspective
A career criminal operating on the streets in any city ultimately only has three (3) rudimentary options to choose from.
1. Life In Prison Without The Possibility Of Parole.
2. A Premature Death.
3. Retire From A Criminal Lifestyle And Become A Productive Citizen In Society Before #1 And #2 Happen.
Every career criminal that has ever been arrested, regardless of status, rank, or how weak or tough they were, has had the exact same overwhelming desire, goal, and / or mission and that was to be released and go home or escape by any means necessary!
King David best describes the mentality of each and every career criminal at the time of their sentencing when major prison time is about to be handed down to a career criminal for being found guilty of a Felony Charge (s):
"And David Said unto Gad, I am in a great strait. Let us fall now into the hands of the LORD, for His mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man." 2 Samuel 24:14
CONCLUSION
The duty of humanity is "Crystal Clear" as indicated in the Holy Scriptures:
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His Commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13
"For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether be evii." Ecclesiastes 12:14
FROM A GANGSTER'S PERSPECTIVE, embracing a criminal lifestyle or even trying to mimic a criminal lifestyle is a recipe for disaster not only for that person, but for their loved ones as well.
