What do you expect when someone is a gangster? Were you in denial about what gang life is?
Gill says that his family is hurting. Well, I wouldnt doubt that the many victims of his criminal conduct also felt the same way.
Lets be real about things. The deceased was part of a sociopathic culture that for the most part, makes the HR blog possible. He was not a saint. Dont make him into someting he wasnt. And before anyone shed tears over him, think of the many victims of his gang.
