From a Dan Wetzel article:
Hernandez grew up in a two-parent home until his father's death when he was 16.
his friends used to mock him for his cushy upbringing and comparatively quiet hometown

Unfortunately, missing father figure and "peer pressure" aren't unique to him.

Unique to him? The missing father doesn't even apply to him. His dad was around until less than 2 years before he was legally an adult.
It sounds like he actively sought out the wrong crowd even in high school. Guys with privileged upbringing typically have no problem finding friends that are cut from the same cloth. The fact that he was hanging out with the types of folks that make fun of those people proves that he sought them out intentionally.

A lot of Americans idolize gang culture. How popular is Scarface? Just look at most rap and they are talking about making those stacks. It is getting everywhere also. Mississippi is getting pretty bad. Just like the story of that girl that was burned to death.
