I just reread my post.

Damn - I don't see how I let that part (in the media story printed here) about his moms not caring for him get by me...it reads:

"Roman spent his first 13 years in Delaware, but moved to the Bronx after his mother apparently abdicated her parental responsibilities..."

But there is another part in this article that reads:

"The boy’s father, a boxer of some local renown, 'did the best he could,' ... sending the boy to Catholic school."

Also according to this article he was "An exceptional athlete [who] received a basketball scholarship to Dominican College, north of the city..."

Is this part true???

But I could see your point of view .. sh**, even understand it....believe it or not...

A lot of young men are becoming thugs because a lot of popular culture glamorizes this.

Sure, thugging can come out of a (warp kind?) of necessity but just doing it to fit in is the ultimate faking it.

This was a basically good kid that was enticed by the street, nevermind his family seemingly tried to steer him away from the street life.

Hopefully Joseph Roman isn't anywhere near Parkchester or any place where he can cause harm to more people.

Here is a clearer post about Joseph Roman (Hoodie)

CALL 1-800-CRIME-TV

Bronx Detective Hunts Former Employee
Det. Kenny Kearns had mixed feelings about pursuing alleged killer Joseph Roman. That's because Kearns remembers Joseph Roman as a likeable kid who worked in the McDonald's restaurant the detective's family runs in the Bronx.

Joseph Roman spent his first 13 years in Delaware, but moved to the Bronx after his mother apparently abdicated her parental responsibilities. The boy's father, a boxer of some local renown, "did the best he could," according to the detective, sending the boy to Catholic school.

An exceptional athlete, Joseph Roman received a basketball scholarship to Dominican College, north of the city. But less than two years later, Kearns noticed the teen back in the Bronx, forsaking his father's efforts to run with gangbangers and drug dealers.

"The streets got him," Kearns says.

Cops tell us Joseph Roman charged after him, cornering his prey between two parked cars.

Joseph Roman Does Not Take A Holiday
In March, the detective says Joseph Roman had a violent encounter in a crowded shopping area, after a reputed drug associate became involved with the girlfriend of another neighborhood tough named Daniel Wallace. Because Roman's friend had recently been arrested for gang assault -- and was out on bail -- he was wary about confronting Wallace himself.

Instead, cops say, Joseph Roman filled in as a surrogate, beating Wallace in the street.

Wallace apparently went home and grabbed a hammer, tracked Joseph Roman down and bashed him in the head. Police say that Roman then returned to his own home and grabbed a gun.

Just up the block from Macy's department store in the Bronx's Parkchester section, Joseph Roman allegedly stuck the gun into Wallace's neck and pulled the trigger. The weapon jammed, and Wallace raced toward the entrance of the store.

Cops tell us Joseph Roman charged after him, cornering his prey between two parked cars. There, police say, Joseph Roman fatally shot Wallace three times.

Surveillance footage shows Joseph Roman fleeing the scene. He's been on the run ever since.

"There were people in one of those parked cars," Kearns says. "There were shoppers all over the place. Do you know how easy it would have been for a stray bullet to hit an innocent person?"

The suspect's apparent indifference to the safety of others has prompted Kearns to disregard his fond memories of Joseph Roman, and to apprehend him before he hurts someone else.
