"Joe Jones was an intelligent, curious, respectful boy, quick with a 'thank you' and a 'please.' A kid who wrote poems, who had opinions on Bush and Saddam as rational as any, who could recite the 50 states of the union in alphabetical order with the speed of a county fair auctioneer. But, like thousands of other Los Angeles gang members, he got in trouble early."
