Isnt it allways over a girl ! My 2nd bit was over a girl because if he'd of never touched my wife i most likely just woulda knocked him out & not went overboard , it sounds like your boy learned his lesson , it also sounds like he knows how it feels to be fucked by the system with the other guy going free & him being charged because of his association & past , ive been dealing with that bias from leo over 40 yrs & it sucks .
Your doing the right thing by paying for protection for your son , even if his health was good enough to keep fighting fuck all that because thats what keeps people locked up , you keep helping him the way you are now & get him the hell out of their in one piece without having to do his max , or get new charges .
It isnt that expensive to keep a loved one safe & he's doing the right thing by paying instead of all the fighting , it isnt like when i was in where you could fight without getting felony charges nowdays the kids inside get charges for every fight their in , kids are being charged with everything so they can keep them there & continue to collect $30 grand a year for keeping them .
Your doing the right thing by helping him stay out of the gangs & gtfo asap ,when he comes home if he feels bad about using your money to keep him safe make damm sure he knows you think its money well spent & he did the adult thing , which is to get out & watch his kids grow up , tough guys are the ones who get out & come back to a loving family & be a dad , thats what makes ya tough not fighting .
Keep your spirits up & it'll all be over before you know it , he's comming home soon & you helped him get there safely .
