I don't see how this is his parents fault, they didn't choose his friends for him. I don't care how involved someone is with their children, their life is still going to take the path that the individual chooses regardless.
From what I've read, after Hernandez's dad died, he took a turn for the worst, understandable. But he is an idiot for keeping that same company after coming up and getting a dream job making millions in the NFL. Why he still felt the need to be this gang member and keep that company around will forever be beyond me. So many people struggle to get out of the streets, it baffles me why some of those same people turn back around to em, and it always comes back to bite em in the end, where it costs them dearly, with losing their life, losing a friend, or this. It's sad to me to see a young man throw it away because he felt dissed, all because he wouldn't let that bullshit life go.
