I went to school with Doug and grew up with him since about 5 years old. From the time we were about 8 years old my Dad and Mom said that boy will spend most of his days in prison. They could tell from the start of such a young age where he would end up. I now know what they said to me at 8 years old to be true. Maybe parents do know best. I do belive in second chances but hes had his to many times.
