Hearing Jesse Vasquez's Story

Jesse Vasquez’s story is one that most definitely should be told. And while I am confident

that there would be a handful of people who would take me up on that opinion,

I stand by it. What I would say to the people who disagree with this perspective is that

it is, in reality, very immature to think that his story simply shouldn't

be heard because he committed heinous acts in his past. Because this is the reality that

we live in. We live in a world where countless atrocities happen every day,

I’d ask- How can we reduce these numbers in the future if we turn a blind eye to the one of

very few people who wishes to share their wisdom from the other side of the table.
