  • This is better than the other video of the same thing of another news network.

  • I happen to know well one of the "gentlemen" playing chess. his name is Christopher Serrone. He was born in Tioga New York. His biological mothers last name was Ferry.

    He was adopted, his family lived in long island New York. In 1974 they moved to Flemingtion N.J. He was incarcerated at the age of 15yrs. old, Judge D Annunzio ignored a recommendation of rehabilition at Yardville Facility. A "political decision"?

    Christopher has AS OF SEPT 2009 accepted Jesus Christ. He is a NEW MAN.

  • @killratoss If you had a 180 IQ you're comments wouldn't be littered with spelling, punctuatuion and grammatical errors. Also if you had a 180 IQ you'd realise 170 is the limit on both the Welcher scale and the Stanford-Binet scale. Do some research you fucking retard.

  • @killratoss

    I literally lol'd at the 180 IQ you tried to pull. You are bad at lying, even on the internet.

  • @chessinfantry some good ones are behind bars, none of the best though. people do learn from mistakes, but once you go to prison its one step over the line and you cant come back. going straight after that is hard as fuck. and you werent bad in the first place u just hadnt learned from mistakes yet. 1 strike and your out. i dont need to "step up my mental" as you so blackly put it i have a 180 IQ so maybe your reasoning just isnt as clear as mine? current and forecasted reasoning.

  • @killratoss Lol and i guess u put the blame on the system for ur mistakes? instead of owning up to them ...Real men learn from mistakes and become wiser and smarter. Only losers like urself im guessing go back to crime and get caught again and again creating a snowball effect in the system. You need to WAKE THE FUCK UP and step up ur mental....Oh yeah, some of the greatest chess players, artists, writers, fighters etc. are behind the wire by the way.

  • I'd rather have them playing chess than doing sit ups.

  • @monkeytwineball clearly you dont know anyone who has been to jail or have never been yourself. practically noone comes out "rehabilitated". we all go straight back to crime.

  • Clearly you're not a believer in rehabilitation...

  • @monkeytwineball i mean they now will. their future criminal activity will be well planned.
