Do you have the juice?

In the film Juice we get a taste of a group of basically good kids, trying to get their lives together and status in their hood. (Short for neighborhood for those of you not into the slang.) This was Tupac Shakur's first film. He did a very good job as the kid who was labeled crazy and took it to the extreme. Life meant nothing to this character. So taking a life was very easy. Although we don't know what brought him to this point we can only make an assumption. But that wouldn't be fare. There are many men who come from poverty, single parent homes, drug users and gangs that rise above it. It's worth a look if you haven't seen it. Thanks for stopping by. Keep an open mind. I've known a few gang members, one when I lived in LA and a few locals. It's just something that people fall into. Sometimes you have no choice.
