In 2015, Jeffrey Kendall's mom suffered a traumatic brain injury. The hospital released her, but it wasn't because she got better.

As anyone who knows me will tell you, I live by the motto "I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me." However, even I have my limits. Gangs. They're an interesting thing, aren't they? They seem to just exist as part of our everyday existence, with there…

While everyone's entitled to their own preferences, it's clear that some proclivities are more problematic than others.
