It’s difficult to feel bad for anything that happens to a drug dealer. They make a living destroying the lives of people. But still, they don’t deserve to be beaten, or murdered.

May these two delinquents spend their entire life in regret.
We can only hope Jaden’s death can be used to detour others from beginning that line of work, as the risk is not worth the outcome.
