Ex-gang leader has insights to help save kids - CharlotteObserver.com: "Former gang leader Andre Norman learned three early lessons growing up in poverty:
It's OK to hit people. You have to protect yourself, because no one else will. And you don't have to explain your actions to anyone.
He learned this by watching his father beat his mother and abandon the family without ever saying why. And he learned by watching white kids throw rocks at him on the way to school without anyone trying to stop them."
