This guy was given a second chance and ended up losing it all and was put back in a cell. He chose to throw his life away and now he can live with the choice he's made.

He could have used that money to build a solid life for himself, maybe gone to college and got a degree but he chose to blow it on shiny objects while living the thug life.

Can't find a single drop of pity for this dude.
