1 to 3 years for Shoplifting... Why do it?

Meet 17 year old Kevahn Thorpe, from Queens. He steals from Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Barneys , Saks , and Berdorf. You name it, he has stolen it. Its sad to say instead of graduating H.S he will be walking into Rikers prison because of stealing. An honors students at Long Island City H.S he will miss Prom and all of his senior activities to trade in a tux for a bright orange jumpsuit. The question I really want to ask him is it really worth the designer labels in the world to be jailed and fined. You can't take all of those labels with you to jail or heaven to "get flyy" so whats the point. Thats just how I feel...

wow thats crazy, the obsession with high-end name brands is ridiculous. Stealing is ridiculous and is not worth going to jail over. he is ruining his life at such a young age. You can look just as "fly" wearing regular clothes. This is a sad story, smh. He must have been really skilled and smart to get away with stealing from those stores but got dont like ugly and he is now going to pay.

Crazy!!! But the thing is once you start its hard to stop... especially when u get good at it... you start to tell yourself "i can get away with it so why not".
Then its just a snow ball affect from then on.
And the real crazy thing is, depending on his mentality, when he get out he is going learn a lesson or be caught in the bad boy high that he will continue.

WoW! That's Crazy!! Well nothing is forever. It had to be put to an end anyhow. But bet that when he comes out he's going to do it again, just so he can be "Fly".
