I have been thinking about this for some time.  Little kids will play with anything and any body.  I had a lot of fun with boxes and crayons, drawing cars. 
But after kids start school, about 3-4th grade, they want to go to ppls houses and play with ppl that have the cool toys.  Now this can carry on for quite some time. 
But as far as education goes, about the 6th or 7th grade, some kids just dont want it.  And a lot of them fill our prisons.  Crime is their job.  Now with this guy, he may have studied, worked in prison, etc. but he still is guilty of his crime and will be punished for what he did.

Please read my statement under Billy Galloway - I don't feel like repeating it here again.  This is very difficult - I grew up with Kevin's father....and yet so many why's for me remain unanswered....

As you grew up with the same father as Kevin why did you grow up to live by society's laws he Kevin did not. You can only blame so much on POS parents but at some point Kevin has to take responsibility for his own actions. From reading his blog he blames everybody from the state of Texas to pastors for his situation.

Kevin did not grow up with his father - he lived with his mother in Michigan.  My sister & I lived with our mother and Kevin's father in Texas.  I am who I am, NOT because of the way I was raised, but because I made a CHOICE and it was to try to live a good, moral life and to raise my children the same.  I wanted a better life for my boys than I had - I wanted them to be good, strong men with caring & loving hearts.  I am proud to say they are all of that and so much more!

Glad to hear that your boys are going in the right direction.

Oh they are!  My oldest is a surgeon's asst in the Army, middle son is an airborn field medic, just recently returned from Iraq - earning a CAB medal as well - my youngest is diabetic, so he serves in the State Guard.  They know about all of this - and don't even want to talk about it.  They are WONDERFUL men!  They are part of the reason that I am Pro - if anyone hurt them, I would rejoice seeing that person pay.  Being fair to me is putting myself in anothers place and HONESTLY seeing how I would feel.  If one of my boys murdered or saw it, was present, ect....would I want my son to be executed?  Of course not - but I also would have to be honest and fair and KNOW that they were adults, knew killing was wrong - AND KNEW THE PENALTY FOR THAT CRIME!  Children are taught, no matter how they are raised, about right & wrong.  They know shoplifting is a crime, theft, murder, ect.   So when they reach the age of adulthood, it then becomes a choice they make - knowing what could happen if they are caught.  This is no different then knowing if we speed, we will get a ticket if caught.  They got caught - and now, no matter if any of us agree or disagree on the penalty, they have to serve that penalty.  We can't change the laws of the land just because we don't approve. Laws are there for a reason, as well as a penalty to those who choose to ignore those laws - TO PROTECT US ALL!

Good post SonieLee...  Karma to you...

I must say that when you (SonieLee) first started posting,  I was unsure of where it was going...  I'm glad to see that some of us backed off and gave her a chance to express what it was she needed to say.   I was afraid we were going to "scare" her off, but I'm glad you stuck around to continue sharing your thoughts and feelings with us!  Regardless of what you have said or say...I for one am glad you "stuck around"   This site is dedicated to the victims of crimes but I've come to appreciate that you are willing to share with us your story of being a victim of the so called opposite side.  Thank you SonieLee........  and I must tell you, this does not come easy to me....lol

Stay safe and I look forward to more posts!

Thank you & Jeff.  I try to stay as honest as I can.  It is a hard place to be when I believe in our laws and the penalty....yet a family member has chosen to ignore those same things.  I am not going to change my mind about the DP just because Kevin is sitting there on DR.  I HATE that this is going to happen to him, but I also HATE that he put himself there!  There may be some justification in how he was raised and his life situations may have caused him to disregard others, BUT as I have said, he made a choice.  EVERYONE knows that murder is wrong, no matter how you are raised.  Anyone can point fingers and say all of the "well, he was raised bad" ect, but an excuse is JUST THAT - AN EXCUSE!  I don't understand why he made the CHOICE to stay with Billy - why didn't SOMEONE stop this?  All 4 of them have blamed each other - why didn't just ONE of them do something???

After reading all these posts, especially the ones by jodilee66, I just have to comment.  From what I've read on Kevin Vargas' blog, Jodi is his step sister, and he's only met her once.  He states in his blog that he doesn't know her, and that she wrote him accusing him of wanting to murder her daughter.  Here are the exact quotes:

"I have now heard from two step-sisters that I do not know, one of whom I have met once years ago when I was first arrested on these charges, they both have sent me their love, but will they like so many in my life abandon me?" - http://minutesbeforesix.blogspot.com/2010/03/death-watch-journal-for-kevin-varga-day_23.html

"My stepsister Jodi wrote to me and explained why she discontinued our relationship several years ago. She began to question what my co-defendants and I were doing in San Antonio, the city that is close to where my father lived at the time of the murders. She expressed her worry that I, or more likely my co-defendant Billy Galloway would confront my father and that her mother, my father’s wife would be killed and that if her daughter were there that she would be harmed, even killed! I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach when I read her words. I realize that she does not know me and so has no idea what I am capable of." - http://minutesbeforesix.blogspot.com/2010/03/death-watch-journal-for-kevin-varga-day_13.html

I find it ironic that she would pose here as his "sister" and act like she's all broken up over his impending death.  Methinks I sense an attention whore...
