I really only clicked on this because I had no idea how to parse that headline, and I'm glad I did. Can we do an over/under on what date this guy ends up in jail?

Or, the over/under on what date 'the streets' catch up to him, and unfortunately, he gets robbed/shot/murdered? If you're gonna flex like that online, someone is gonna come at you at some point.

  That's true, sounds like it's come close before.

  TFA: > “Things may eventually catch up to Devon if he isn’t careful,” @Brainjuiceofficial observed, noting that Turner has been shot at before, and also robbed at an ATM while flexing a bunch of cash for a picture and wearing $500k in jewelry. He's already been shot at. It's part of the thrill and street cred fantasy. There's almost definitely a bullet out there with his name on it already.

    Having spent significant time in jail, I was amazed at the high percentage of people with slugs stuck in them that had issues with the metal detectors. Pretty amazing how many people on "the streets" get shot and don't die from their injuries. I knew one guy with 9 holes in him[0]. [0] I wanted to say he is lucky, but looking him up in the IDOC database I don't think he is: CUSTODY DATE: 08/03/2013 SENTENCE: 60 Years 0 Months 0 Days

    I used to live a little dangerously when I was young. At some point I realized that some people just don't give a fuck - jail, beatings or even death is not a deterrent for them, at all. To last in the streets, you either have to be one of those people, or bulletproof.

      Why is "being reckless" positively correlated with "lasting"? If anything, it should be correlated with dying first, or being in prison for longer periods, so out of the streets.

      Even being one of those people isn't a very good guarantee when it comes to avoiding impact from those you referred to that truly hold no value to their own life, or freedom.

I would guess a year or so, just because it takes a long time for law enforcement to put a case together and bring it to trial.

My bet is he's a trust fund kid larping.
