Hello, my name is Brad Pearson.
你好，我叫布拉德·皮尔森。
In March 2006, you were one of three people who kidnapped me in West Philadelphia.
2006 年 3 月，你是在西费城绑架我的三个人之一。
I’m writing this letter not because I’m angry at you, or upset, or hurt.
我写这封信并不是因为我对你生气、心烦意乱或受伤。
The opposite, actually.
事实上恰恰相反。
While the kidnapping and investigation were difficult for me, in the end they made me a stronger man.
虽然绑架和调查对我来说很困难，但最终它们让我成为了一个更坚强的人。
I’m a magazine writer now, and I’ve always hoped to talk to you and Jerry and Mordi about that night, and what your lives have been like since.
我现在是一名杂志作家，我一直希望能和你、杰里和莫迪谈谈那天晚上，以及从那以后你们的生活。
I’d either like to do that by letter or in person.
我想通过信件或亲自这样做。
I can travel to Pennsylvania to speak with you, if you’d allow me to.
如果您允许的话，我可以前往宾夕法尼亚州与您交谈。
I also included my email address, if that’s easier for you.
我还附上了我的电子邮件地址，如果这对您来说更容易的话。
Jerry’s response came first, less than a month later.
不到一个月后，杰瑞首先做出了回应。
Two pages, handwritten, single-spaced.
两页，手写，单倍行距。
All-caps block letters, except for the words “Sincerely, Jerry Price,” in cursive:
全部大写正楷，除了草书的“Sincerely, Jerry Price”：
In your letter, you said ‘I don’t know if you remember.’ The truth is that I don’t think that I will ever be able to forget you.
在你的信中，你说“我不知道你是否记得。”事实是，我认为我永远无法忘记你。
That day — your face plays over and over in my head constantly reminding me of the hurt, anger, sorrow and other feelings that I have caused you as well as the others.
那天——你的脸在我的脑海里一遍又一遍地浮现，不断提醒我我给你和其他人带来的伤害、愤怒、悲伤和其他感受。
Tyree soon sent a letter, too: “Being a dad in jail is really sad.”
泰里很快也发了一封信：“作为一名入狱父亲真的很伤心。”

THE WEATHER WAS unseasonably warm that night, but I still needed a coat.
那天晚上天气异常温暖，但我仍然需要一件外套。
It was a little after 10 p.m., and I’d parked at the corner of 58th Street and Overbrook Avenue, two blocks off St. Joe’s campus.
当时是晚上 10 点多一点，我把车停在 58 街和奥弗布鲁克大道的拐角处，距离圣乔校园两个街区。
As I made my way down the street, the silver tips of my sneakers reflected each street lamp.
当我沿着街道走时，运动鞋的银色鞋尖反射着每一盏路灯。
A few steps after I turned onto Overbrook, though, the shine stopped, signaling the end of the area the school actually cared about.
然而，在我转向奥弗布鲁克几步后，光芒就停止了，这标志着学校真正关心的区域已经结束了。
Shattered glass covered the leaves in the gutter, a reminder that someone probably left an iPod in a cup holder.
破碎的玻璃覆盖了排水沟中的树叶，这提醒人们可能将 iPod 留在了杯架中。
I hopped over the broken glass, and two men approached.
我跳过碎玻璃，两个男人走近。
They chatted and laughed; neither of them looked at me.
他们有说有笑；他们都没有看我。
My car sat 20 steps ahead.
我的车停在前面 20 步处。
As I turned the corner, I heard the first noise.
当我转过拐角时，我听到了第一声噪音。
Smack, smack, smack, rubber on concrete.
拍，拍，拍，橡胶在混凝土上。
Then grrick, grrick, grrick, rubber on gravel.
然后是砾石上的橡胶、橡胶、橡胶。
Whooosh as jacket grazed cedars.
当夹克擦过雪松时，嗖嗖地响。
There was another whoosh, and the light bounced off a pistol now pointed at my head.
又是一声嗖嗖声，光线从手枪上反射出来，现在指着我的头。
I couldn’t concentrate on the weapon; the man’s voice was puerile.
我无法集中注意力在武器上；男人的声音很稚嫩。
He was like a baby holding a shiny toy.
他就像一个抱着闪亮玩具的婴儿。
He grabbed my arm and pushed me out of the street’s light, next to a sinking Ford Escort outside a rotting garage.
他抓住我的手臂，把我从街灯下推开，旁边是一个腐烂的车库外一辆正在下沉的福特福睿斯。
The wooden door was a pile of paint and beetle bore creeping toward the expired license plates.
木门上有一堆油漆，甲虫正爬向过期的车牌。
I tossed to the ground the contents of my hands: car key, water bottle.
我把手里的东西扔到地上：车钥匙、水瓶。
Cell phone and wallet were next.
接下来是手机和钱包。
They quickly reached into my pockets to confirm my response.
他们很快就把手伸进我的口袋来确认我的回答。
Yes, I said, it’s Wachovia but says First Union, it’s green.
是的，我说，这是美联银行，但说第一联盟，它是绿色的。
Sir.
先生。
Yes, I have my ATM card, sir.
是的，我有 ATM 卡，先生。
“Don’t call me FUCKING sir, that shit’s for white people.
“别叫我他妈的先生，那是白人的事。
What’s the PIN number for your MAC card?”
您的 MAC 卡的 PIN 码是多少？”
Now, what’s the play here?
现在，这里有什么戏呢？
Correct number, they leave and I walk away?
正确的数字，他们离开，我走开？
Wrong number, they leave, they have my wallet and find me after they realize the number is bunk?
号码错误，他们离开，他们拿走了我的钱包，并在意识到号码是垃圾后找到我？
Normal Brad would have lied to them.
正常的布拉德会对他们撒谎。
Gun-to-head Brad thinks differently.
枪对头布拉德的想法不同。
They grabbed me by the back of the neck.
他们抓住我的后颈。
My head popped up for a split second.
我的头突然突然抬起来。
“Keep your fucking head down.
“你他妈的低着头。
You look up again and I will shoot you in the fucking face.”
你再抬起头来，我就他妈的朝你的脸开枪。”
My chin dove into my collarbone, and they threw me toward a running car.
我的下巴陷入了锁骨，他们把我扔向了一辆正在行驶的汽车。
Dark paint, tan leather interior.
深色油漆，棕褐色皮革内饰。
I hit my head on the door frame, my two attackers flanked me on either side, and we were off.
我的头撞到了门框，两名袭击者从两侧包围我，然后我们就出发了。
A third man drove.
第三个人开车。
We’d driven straight for a few blocks, then hung a right and a sharp left.
我们直驶了几个街区，然后向右转，然后向左急转。
My mental GPS slowed down as we drove farther and farther, as more turns stacked on backtracks.
随着我们开得越来越远，原路转弯越来越多，我的精神导航速度也减慢了。
Was that a turn or a curve?
那是转弯还是弯道？
“If there is one dime less than $800 in your account, I will shoot you in the fucking face.
“如果你账户里的一毛钱少于 800 美元，我就他妈的朝你脸上开枪。
Do you understand?”
你明白吗？
The possibility of a delay between my cashing of a check and that money’s appearance in my account seemed plausible, so in an abundance of caution, I told them there might only be $600.
我兑现支票和钱出现在我的账户之间的延迟似乎是合理的，所以在非常谨慎的情况下，我告诉他们可能只有 600 美元。
“Oh, so you lied to us.
“噢，所以你骗了我们。
My associates and I don’t like liars, Brad.
我和我的同事不喜欢说谎，布拉德。
You know what else we don’t like?
你知道我们还有什么不喜欢的吗？
Heroes.
英雄。
So don’t try to be a fucking hero, Brad, or I’ll have to shoot you.”
所以别想成为一个他妈的英雄，布拉德，否则我就得开枪打死你了。”
In the fucking face.
在他妈的脸上。
Got it.
知道了。
After the lesson in fiscal responsibility, the man to my right began to talk.
在财政责任的课程结束后，我右边的那个人开始讲话。
And talk.
并交谈。
He asked if I’d handed in a paper I was working on.
他问我是否交了我正在写的论文。
He asked how my job was.
他问我的工作怎么样。
He asked if I saw a kid on campus with black hair.
他问我是否在校园里看到过一个黑头发的孩子。
He tried to convince me that they had been following me for weeks.
他试图让我相信他们已经跟踪我好几个星期了。
The car stopped, and one of the men exited.
车停了下来，其中一名男子下了车。
A second later, he was back.
一秒钟后，他回来了。
Place didn’t have an ATM, he complained, and we returned to the road.
他抱怨说，这个地方没有自动取款机，然后我们又回到了路上。
They were novices, kids with higher voices than mine, and they didn’t know where to find an ATM.
他们是新手，声音比我高的孩子，他们不知道在哪里可以找到 ATM。
When I was a baby, my parents and I lived in my grandparents’ attic.
当我还是个婴儿的时候，我和我的父母住在祖父母的阁楼里。
The three of us would wander downstairs each morning, where my grandmother would place me on her lap.
每天早上我们三个人都会漫步下楼，祖母会把我放在她的腿上。
“I do love you!
“我真的爱你！
I do love you!” she’d say.
我真的爱你！”她会说。
“I do” became “Ado,” and the name stuck to her.
“我愿意”变成了“阿多”，这个名字就一直伴随着她。
I winced.
我皱起了眉头。
He’d begun scrolling through my phone, and Ado is my first contact.
他开始浏览我的手机，阿多是我的第一个联系人。
As he made his way through my alphabet of contacts, I answered each query with one of three responses: home, college or work.
当他浏览我的联系人字母表时，我用以下三种答案之一回答每个问题：家庭、大学或工作。
At 21, those are the only three options anyone really has.
21 岁时，这是每个人真正拥有的仅有的三个选择。
But …
但是……
Ado.
废话。
For the first time, I thought of my family — my dad, my mom, my brothers and my sister.
我第一次想到了我的家人——我的爸爸、我的妈妈、我的兄弟和我的妹妹。
At home, all of them, asleep, unworried.
回到家，大家都睡着了，毫无忧虑。
Lie, just lie, don’t think about it just lie.
谎言，只是谎言，别想它只是谎言。
Kelleen’s face filled the backs of my eyelids, her hair and her dimples.
凯琳的脸充满了我的眼睑、她的头发和她的酒窝。
She turned and smiled, all gauzy movie sequence.
她转身微笑，就像电影里的薄纱场景。

In the short trip, I’d acquired a nickname, and we finally pulled up to an ATM.
在短暂的旅途中，我获得了一个昵称，我们终于把车停在了一台自动提款机前。
One of the men left and returned again quickly.
其中一名男子离开后很快又回来了。
I stammered out an excuse revolving around the American banking system, but the subtext was please don’t kill me please don’t kill me please don’t kill me over $100.
我结结巴巴地围绕着美国银行系统提出了一个借口，但潜台词是“请不要杀我，请不要杀我，请不要杀我超过 100 美元”。
Burst.
爆裂。
Stop.
停止。
Burst.
爆裂。
Stop.
停止。
Long burst, quick body-throwing stop.
长爆发，快速投身停止。
The window lowered, and a man stepped up.

Money was exchanged, coke was scored.

The door seemed close.
门似乎很近。
I could kick it open and run.

I could run faster than they could.

I had adrenaline on my side, I had fear on my side, I had living on my side.
我有肾上腺素，我有恐惧，我有生活。
But I didn’t have a gun on my side.
但我身边没有枪。
The pistol rested over my left shoulder, warmed by his hand and my shoulder.
手枪架在我的左肩上，被他的手和我的肩膀温暖着。
My head wedged between my knees.
我的头卡在膝盖之间。
I stayed.
我留下。
Cramped, I moved the fingers on one hand, pinkie to thumb, thumb to pinkie, an imprisoned pianist.
局促的我移动了一只手的手指，小指到拇指，拇指到小指，一位被监禁的钢琴家。
Silence, so I worked the other hand.
沉默，所以我另一方面工作。
“Brad, if you move one more time, I swear to God I’ll fucking kill you.

I haven’t killed anyone in a few months, Brad, and I’m getting kinda anxious.”
布拉德，我已经几个月没有杀过任何人了，我有点焦虑。”
Before, I had been convinced they would let me go; now, I wasn’t so sure.
以前，我确信他们会放我走；但现在我确信他们会放我走。现在，我不太确定了。
It would be a quick death, hopefully.

One shot, right to the head.
一枪，正中头部。
They’d get their $700, and someone walking his dog would find me, without a wallet or forehead.

“Sometimes I like to use a knife, Brad, right across the throat.
“有时候我喜欢用刀划过喉咙，布拉德。
Slittttttt.”
斯利特特特。”
Flipping through my wallet, he passed over a stack of Pathmark SuperSaver cards and expired Papa John’s coupons, settling on my Eagle Scout card.
他翻阅我的钱包，递给我一堆 Pathmark SuperSaver 卡和过期的棒约翰优惠券，最后选择了我的 Eagle Scout 卡。
Matte gold.
哑光金。
The emphasis fell on also instead of “an Eagle Scout.” Brothers in arms, it seemed.
重点放在“也”而不是“鹰童子军”上。看来是战友。
We talked about Hawk Mountain, a rounded-off lump of a Pennsylvania peak that he encouraged me to visit.
我们谈论了霍克山，这是宾夕法尼亚州一座圆润的山峰，他鼓励我去参观。
Any comfort I gleaned from the conversation died quickly as they spotted a police car.
当他们发现一辆警车时，我从谈话中获得的任何安慰很快就消失了。
The psychology of telling me about the car was twisted, but I may have given them too much credit.
告诉我关于这辆车的心理是扭曲的，但我可能过于相信他们了。
A fucking shot to the face was once again promised, heroism again discouraged.
他妈的脸上再一次被许诺，英雄主义再次受到挫败。
I stayed in my crouch, Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt was once again turned up, and we continued on.

Your ass will end up raped and naked in the streets.”

Laughter filled the car, and I joined in.
车里充满了笑声，我也跟着笑了起来。
I’m free!
我有空了！
Let’s all laugh about how great the past hour has been!
让我们一起欢笑过去的一小时是多么美好！
I don’t know why I laughed.
我不知道我为什么笑。
Maybe it was just that I hadn’t been told I’d be shot in the fucking face for a few minutes, and to me, that seemed like a reason to celebrate.
也许只是因为我没有被告知我他妈的脸会被枪杀几分钟，对我来说，这似乎是一个值得庆祝的理由。
They pulled over and grabbed me from the left side, dragging me out of the backseat.
他们靠边停车，从左侧抓住我，把我从后座拖了出来。
I tripped on the curb, then some sticks, and slipped on the grass and a piece of wet cardboard.
我被路边绊倒，然后被棍子绊倒，然后在草地和一块湿纸板上滑倒。
My face was covered and down; fresh air filled me.
我的脸被遮住，低垂着；新鲜的空气充满了我。
I slowed, and felt the brush at my knees.
我放慢了速度，感觉到刷子刷到了我的膝盖上。
The decomposing leaves smelled clean somehow, and my nose burrowed into them.

Do not run home, either: Walk.
也不要跑回家：步行。

I began counting.

I tried counting to eight, but all I could hear was the hammer sliding, the click-clack of a roller coaster approaching the top of a hill.
我试着数到八，但我只能听到锤子滑动的声音，以及过山车接近山顶时发出的咔哒声。
Dear God don’t let this happen dear God I can’t die dear God help me help me live help me see my family help me see Kelleen help me live I need to live.
亲爱的上帝，不要让这种事发生，亲爱的上帝，我不能死，亲爱的上帝，帮助我，帮助我活下去，帮助我看到我的家人，帮助我看到凯琳，帮助我活下去，我需要活下去。
I hadn’t been to church without parental nudging in my entire life.
我这辈子从来没有在没有父母催促的情况下去过教堂。
Whatever goodwill I had stored up during those trips was already cashed in.
我在这些旅行中积累的任何善意都已经兑现了。
I counted to 200, maybe 500.
我数到200，也许是500。
Exhausted, I almost fell asleep.
累坏了，我差点就睡着了。
When I finally stood up and opened my eyes, I thought I was back at 58th and Overbrook.
当我终于站起来睁开眼睛时，我以为我又回到了 58 号和奥弗布鲁克。
Trees surrounded me, and a cedar stood at my left once again.

很快，警方逮捕了杰里·普莱斯 (Jerry Price)、泰里·布朗 (Tyree Brown) 和莫迪·巴斯克维尔 (Mordi Baskerville)——不仅因为我绑架了我，还因为他们在费城西部发生了另外 12 起绑架和抢劫案。
They’d started showing up at Price’s cousin’s apartment with cash, cell phones, a Lexus and pizza.
他们开始带着现金、手机、雷克萨斯和披萨出现在普莱斯表弟的公寓里。
(In addition to college students, the three also robbed pizza deliverymen.
（除了大学生外，三人还抢劫了披萨送货员。
And why waste a good pizza?) Laptops and wallets arrived at the Parkside apartment, too.
为什么要浪费一个好的披萨呢？）笔记本电脑和钱包也到达了 Parkside 公寓。
During the pretrial hearings, the three smirked as they sat at the defendants’ table.
在预审听证会上，三人坐在被告席旁傻笑。
One by one we entered the courtroom and talked about getting pistol-whipped or mock-executed or otherwise embarrassed.

Then I went back to my apartment and had nightmares.
然后我回到我的公寓并做了噩梦。
The room would be dark, beyond vision.
房间里很黑，看不见。
There was something in there, ready to attack.
里面有什么东西，随时准备攻击。
Or maybe there was nothing in the room and I just had my eyes closed, afraid to open them.

I’d always wake up before I found out.
我总是在发现之前就醒了。
I cried once, on my parents’ deck in New York.

I yelled into the phone at Kelleen, blaming Jerry, Tyree and Mordi for my inability to land a job after graduation.

I’d think about them, 1,500 miles away in prison, whenever I’d get a victim compensation check from one of my kidnappers: a few dollars here and there to pay for my missing wallet, cell phone and bank fees.
每当我从绑匪那里得到一张受害者赔偿支票时，我就会想起他们，在 1,500 英里外的监狱里：到处都是几美元，用来支付我丢失的钱包、手机和银行费用。
My mom would get the checks in New York, then forward them to wherever I was living.

They’re still there now, $78.22 worth, at the bottom of my closet.

(It worked two out of the three times I tried it.) I knew I had the best party story, the best sob story, the best any story.

A psychiatrist could diagnose this behavior: Coping through manipulative bragging.
精神科医生可以诊断这种行为：通过操纵性的吹牛来应对。
If I’d gone to more than one session, maybe mine would have.
如果我参加了不止一场会议，也许我的也会参加。
March 27th was always an awkward day, one I wasn’t sure whether to celebrate or forget.

White liberal guilt makes me vomit!!
白人自由主义的罪恶感让我呕吐！
It’s “never their fault”,its always “the incidents from their childhood that made them do it” Then the “liberal white man forgives the poor black kid,now young man because its not his fault” They should have gotten 25 yrs each for each crime,
这“从来都不是他们的错”，总是“他们童年时期的事件让他们这么做”然后“自由派白人原谅了可怜的黑人孩子，现在是年轻人了，因为这不是他的错”他们应该为每项犯罪每人判处 25 年徒刑，
Or perhaps instead of forcing a political or social spin, the rest of us who think outside of party lines might find this to be an uplifting story of compassion and forgiveness.

Eye for an eye is Old Testament not New Testament so because Christ condemned that teaching it is not Christian teaching and should not be part of a Christian attitude.
以眼还眼是旧约而不是新约，所以因为基督谴责这种教导不是基督教的教导，不应该成为基督徒态度的一部分。
‘Eye for an Eye’ is from the code of Hammurabi, Not Christian teachings.

There’s ample scientific evidence by now that shows that pure punishment doesn’t help: recidivism is at roughly 80%.
目前已有充足的科学证据表明，单纯的惩罚并无帮助：累犯率约为 80%。
So I don’t rely on political preference for my views: I rely on studies.
所以我的观点不依赖于政治偏好：我依赖于研究。

Things have gotten worse since 1974 – now it is not uncommon for young punks to get probation for armed robbery.Just “google” “probation for armed robbery” if you want a few examples ( most are not reported).
自 1974 年以来，情况变得更糟——现在，年轻朋克因武装抢劫而获得缓刑的情况并不少见。如果您想要一些例子，只需“谷歌”“武装抢劫缓刑”即可（大多数都没有报道）。

My wife was killed in a very stupid accident.
我的妻子在一次非常愚蠢的事故中丧生。
The first thing and most important thing I could think of after telling my then young son was not to find a reason forbhate and anger but forgive and make peace so the accident and the person, who showed no remorse, did not define our life.
在告诉我当时年幼的儿子后，我能想到的第一件事也是最重要的事情就是不要寻找理由去原谅和愤怒，而是要原谅并和解，这样事故和那个没有表现出悔恨的人就不会定义我们的生活。
I just hope it hasn’t defined you.
我只是希望它没有定义你。
I hope you will forgive me if I have misjudged you in readingbyou post.
如果我在阅读您的帖子时误判了您，希望您能原谅我。
Vince, I’m very sorry about your wife and I hope both you and your son are coping.
文斯，我对你妻子的事感到非常抱歉，我希望你和你的儿子都能应对。
I believe I have come to terms with my anger (and hatred)- they don’t define me and, now, I seldom think of the incident.
我相信我已经接受了我的愤怒（和仇恨）——它们并不能定义我，现在，我很少想起这件事。
I don’t forgive the thugs and that is my choice.
我不会原谅暴徒，这是我的选择。
I do not hold a grudge against any other blacks because of this incident.
我并没有因为这件事而对任何其他黑人怀恨在心。
I think the incident made me, generally, stronger.
我认为这件事总体上让我变得更坚强。
Vince, who made you the authority to lecture others about their personal feelings or make assumptions about how they are doing based on a couple of internet posts?
文斯，谁让你有权向别人讲授他们的个人感受，或者根据一些互联网帖子对他们的表现做出假设？
With the level of judgmental statements you are posting, I’m pretty sure you’re the one with the problem, mister armchair psychologist.
从你所发表的判断性陈述的水平来看，我很确定你就是有问题的人，纸上谈兵的心理学家先生。
Oh, the first story you read like this is interesting.
哦，你读到的第一个故事很有趣。
Then you read another three or four and you’re like “Face it, predators prey on people for no reason and trying to understand it is giving them too much credit for being human beings.” At least this guy didn’t actually help them get parole.
然后你又读了三四本，你就会想：“面对现实吧，掠食者无缘无故地捕食人类，试图理解这一点就让他们过分相信自己是人类。”至少这个家伙并没有真正帮助他们获得假释。
He allowed the system to work for the “punishment” but it is clear these men came to realize there is more to the individuals directly being involved with the results of their actions.
他允许该系统发挥“惩罚”作用，但很明显，这些人开始意识到，个人直接参与其行为结果的意义还不止于此。
What are find amazing is how many posts fail to realize the physiological effect hanging onto hate has on the crime victims themselves.
令人惊讶的是，有多少帖子没有意识到仇恨对犯罪受害者本身的生理影响。
Even if the perpetrator has no remorse, the anger of the victim can consume them and destroy future relationships with others.
即使施暴者毫无悔意，受害者的愤怒也会吞噬他们并破坏未来与他人的关系。
Having the ability to walk away from the event will have a greater healing effect than watching the perpetrator rot in a jail cell.
能够离开事件比看着肇事者在牢房里腐烂具有更大的治愈效果。
This does not condone what happened in anyway but releases the victim from becoming a victim again as a result of their anger and hatred.
无论如何，这并不宽恕所发生的事情，而是使受害者免于因愤怒和仇恨而再次成为受害者。
Exactly right.
完全正确。
As a rape survivor I could have allowed my rage and hurt to destroy me, my family and those around me.
作为一名强奸幸存者，我本可以让我的愤怒和伤害摧毁我、我的家人和我周围的人。
I chose instead to harness that energy to propel me forward.
相反，我选择利用这种能量来推动我前进。
I can not change what they did to me but I can change how I respond to it, to them and to society in general and I choose to respond by finding understanding in what happened and then in finding a way to forgive them.
我无法改变他们对我所做的事情，但我可以改变我对他们、对他们以及整个社会的反应方式，我选择通过理解所发生的事情来做出反应，然后找到原谅他们的方法。
My offenders raped me and I had no power in that but it was my rage and hurt that was stealing my life from me afterward, stealing my family from me and making me wish for death and I had all the power over that.
我的罪犯强奸了我，我对此没有任何权力，但后来我的愤怒和伤害夺走了我的生命，夺走了我的家人，让我想死，而我对此拥有一切权力。
Dont let anyone tell you that the hate, anger and rage is normal and that it will always be with you, you decide when to let it go and only you can decide that.
不要让任何人告诉你，仇恨、愤怒和愤怒是正常的，它会永远伴随着你，你决定何时放手，只有你自己才能决定。
To all my brothers and sisters in healing, I love you and I hope you can find someone to talk to so as to come away from the rage and learn to live again.
致所有正在康复中的兄弟姐妹，我爱你们，希望你们能找到倾诉的人，从愤怒中走出来，重新学会生活。
As someone who went through a scary strong-arm robbery many years ago, I was able to forget about it eventually and I don’t sit around raging at or hating on the robber or even thinking about it except once a year when some story like this will remind me.
作为一个多年前经历过可怕的暴力抢劫的人，我最终能够忘记这件事，我不会坐在那儿对强盗愤怒或仇恨，甚至不会想起它，除非每年一次，当这样的故事会提醒我时。
However, forgetting or not raging/ hating doesn’t mean I am okay with what happened or that I care whether there is “more to this individual”.
然而，忘记或不愤怒/仇恨并不意味着我对所发生的事情感到满意，也不意味着我关心“这个人是否有更多”。
When I think about it at all I hope the bogeyman mugger is either locked up permanently for some offense (he was never caught or prosecuted in my case) or is dead so he can’t hurt anyone else.
当我想到这一点时，我希望这个妖怪抢劫犯要么因某种罪行而被永久关押（在我的案件中，他从未被抓获或起诉），要么已经死了，这样他就不能伤害其他任何人。
The response of the article author, while it may have been necessary or constructive for him, is not the constructive response for everybody.
文章作者的回应虽然对他来说可能是必要的或建设性的，但并不适合所有人。
As for “walking away from the event”, people have to do this on their own clock, just like they have to go through their own timeline of grief when a loved one dies – you can’t rush it or say that everybody’s clock or process needs to be the same to avoid damage.
至于“离开事件”，人们必须按照自己的时钟来做这件事，就像当亲人去世时他们必须经历自己的悲伤时间表一样——你不能操之过急，也不能说每个人的时钟或过程都需要相同以避免损害。
I agree totally.
我完全同意。
Everybody needs to deal with things in their own way.
每个人都需要以自己的方式处理事情。
Wow – one of the better pieces of Journalism i’ve read in a long time.
哇——这是我长期以来读过的最好的新闻作品之一。
Would really like to see an expanded piece about the other victims, the prison experience and why Jerry and Tyree seem so rehabilitated, and more about Morti’s story being a part of this and in jail from such a young age.
我真的很想看到一篇关于其他受害者、监狱经历以及为什么杰瑞和泰里看起来如此康复的扩展文章，以及更多关于莫蒂的故事是其中的一部分以及从这么年轻的时候就入狱的故事。
A follow up on how Jerry and Tyree find the outside world after spending a third of their young lives in prison is a must!
杰瑞和泰里在监狱里度过了三分之一的年轻生命后如何寻找外面的世界，这是必须的后续行动！
Very Well Done.
做得很好。
Very well-written story.
故事写得非常好。
I hope the author follows up on what happens to his kidnappers post-release – unfortunately the stats indicate it is more likely than not that they will re-offend.
我希望作者能跟进绑架者获释后的情况——不幸的是，统计数据表明他们很可能会再次犯罪。
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics 68 percent of state-time offenders are re-arrested and convicted within three years of release; after five years it increases to 77 percent.
根据司法统计局的数据，68% 的州级罪犯在释放后三年内再次被捕并被定罪；五年后，这一比例增至 77%。
Support system for probation and parole need to be in place to be sure participants are following the rules but also have jobs and housing.

One of the better First Person pieces I’ve read in this rag.
我在这块破布上读过的最好的第一人称作品之一。
From what I’ve heard, forgiveness by the victim is more important to the victim than the criminal.
据我所知，受害者的宽恕对受害者来说比罪犯更重要。
It’s good to see these predators were caught, put in jail and served a substantial sentence.
很高兴看到这些掠夺者被抓获、投入监狱并被判重刑。
However, I don’t think guys like this should be let out of jail until they earn their HS diploma, learn a trade and are shown to be drug-free.
然而，我认为这样的人不应该被放出监狱，除非他们获得高中文凭、学习一门手艺并被证明没有吸毒。
One thing folks seem to forget, 85% of inmates will be let Out after serving their sentences, and there has to be a way for them to earn a living or they’ll go right back to criminal activity.
人们似乎忘记了一件事，85% 的囚犯刑满后会被释放，必须有办法让他们谋生，否则他们就会重新从事犯罪活动。
And Yes, I believe the ADA’s side of the story that 2 of these hoods had to talk the 3rd out of killing Brad.
是的，我相信 ADA 的说法是，其中两个头巾必须说服第三个不要杀死布拉德。
What makes you think these guys are gonna start telling the truth Now?
是什么让你认为这些人现在要开始说实话了？
They’re lives are Done, no one will hire them and they will be on Welfare for the rest of their lives.
他们的生活已经结束，没有人会雇用他们，他们的余生将靠福利金生活。
The anger I feel when reading this is palpable for Brad, the victim, and all those Other victims these 3 creeps robbed.
当我读到这篇文章时，我所感受到的愤怒对于受害者布拉德以及所有被这三个怪物抢劫的其他受害者来说是显而易见的。
While I know it is wrong, I do really hope they suffered while in jail.
虽然我知道这是错误的，但我真的希望他们在监狱里受苦。
NOT raped, as that shouldn’t happen to Anyone under State protection, just the mental awareness of everyone else getting on with meaningful lives while theirs is effectively ruined by their own doing.
不是强奸，因为这不应该发生在任何受国家保护的人身上，只是其他人过着有意义的生活的心理意识，而他们的生活实际上被自己的行为毁了。
Their parents failed them also, or how else could these animals make such bad decisions while never considering the consequences.
他们的父母也让他们失望了，否则这些动物怎么会做出如此糟糕的决定而不考虑后果。
Now tell this story times 50,000, and maybe NOW we should start investing in the lives of at-risk youth Before we have to invest in their incarceration and state paid welfare for the rest of their lives.
现在把这个故事讲五万遍，也许现在我们应该开始投资于高危青少年的生活，然后我们必须投资于他们的监禁和国家为他们的余生支付的福利。
The preps will be right back at it, post haste!
准备工作很快就会回来！
Why are people so fooled by bull sh-tters!
为什么人们会被胡言乱语愚弄！
These guys have it down to a science!
这些家伙把它归结为一门科学！

The same thing happened to me on March 13,1974 in Nashville, TN.
1974 年 3 月 13 日，在田纳西州纳什维尔，同样的事情也发生在我身上。
There were four hostile young blacks who kidnapped me because I was a white college student.
有四个充满敌意的年轻黑人绑架了我，因为我是一名白人大学生。
They caught the four thugs later that night and they ( eventually) took a plea deal.
那天晚上晚些时候，他们抓住了四名暴徒，并（最终）达成了认罪协议。
I hope all four lived short and miserable lives for what they did to me ( and at least 5 others on previous nights).
我希望这四个人都因为他们对我所做的事情而过着短暂而悲惨的生活（前一天晚上至少还有其他 5 个人）。
I have no desire to talk to them and I do not forgive them.
我不想和他们说话，我也不会原谅他们。
I was kidnapped ( beat up, threatened with execution (two pistols), robbed and dumped out naked in front of a pool hall) because of my “white priviledge”.
由于我的“白人特权”，我被绑架（殴打、威胁处决（两把手枪）、抢劫并赤身裸体地扔在台球厅前）。
They got short sentences ( and were not already in prison when they kidnapped me) because of their “black priviledge”.
由于他们的“黑人特权”，他们被判了短期徒刑（他们绑架我时还没有入狱）。

我很好，没有给自己造成任何伤害。
I don’t forgive thugs ( unless, perhaps, they approach me and ask for forgiveness) and I don’t forget.
我不会原谅暴徒（除非他们接近我并请求原谅）而且我不会忘记。
Although you never really found out until the picture at the end, I knew from the start that the criminals were black and the victim was white.
虽然直到最后的照片你才真正发现，但我从一开始就知道罪犯是黑人，受害者是白人。
Yes it should have been charged as a hate crime.
是的，这应该被指控为仇恨犯罪。
It wasn’t because of “black priviledge”.
这并不是因为“黑人特权”。
(I thought the same thing from the onset – about this being “black on white” – and I’ll bet Brad “cleaned up” the thugs’ language for this article).
（我从一开始就想到了同样的事情——关于这是“黑与白”——我敢打赌布拉德在这篇文章中“清理”了暴徒的语言）。
Brad and the other 12 are very lucky that they weren’t killed.
布拉德和其他 12 个人很幸运没有被杀。
Anybody (Brad?) know the race(s) of the other victims?

That would certainly be germane to this story and would speak to the hate crime aspect.

In my case all of the victims were white college students and it was definitely a hate crime (although few of us thought about hate crimes, other than white on black, in 1974).
就我而言，所有受害者都是白人大学生，这绝对是仇恨犯罪（尽管我们很少有人考虑过仇恨犯罪，除了 1974 年的白人对黑人的犯罪）。

The thugs were all younger than me: 19,18, 18, 16.
这些暴徒都比我年轻：19、18、18、16。
I have never seen my father so angry, I remember the smells, I was helped by an old black lady (I couldn’t see much because they ripped my glasses off my face and threw them out the car window as they pummelled me for the first time), I was seated between two thugs in the back seat, I lived, etc…
我从来没有见过我的父亲如此生气，我记得那些气味，我得到了一位黑人老太太的帮助（我看不到太多东西，因为他们第一次殴打我时把我脸上的眼镜撕下来并把它们扔出车窗），我坐在后座的两个暴徒之间，我生活，等等......
You write very well – good luck to you and your family.

If this is something the author needed to do in order to work through what happened to him, or even to make back the 700 bucks he lost by selling this piece to a magazine, then fine.
如果这是作者需要做的事情，以便解决发生在他身上的事情，或者甚至是为了赚回他因将这篇文章卖给杂志而损失的 700 美元，那么很好。
I don’t have one iota of sympathy for the kidnappers though, and given the number of victims I think their sentences were too short.
不过，我对绑匪没有丝毫同情，考虑到受害者的数量，我认为他们的刑期太短了。
If they truly believe now that they did wrong and are really sorry and can possibly influence others not to do what they did then that’s good, but does not make me feel any more sympathy or empathy for them.
如果他们现在真的相信自己做错了，真的很抱歉，并且可能影响其他人不要做他们所做的事情，那很好，但不会让我对他们感到更多同情或同情。
It’s also a big “if” because who knows how much of this they are faking in order to impress parole boards or get some other concession?
这也是一个很大的“如果”，因为谁知道他们为了给假释委员会留下深刻印象或获得其他让步而伪造了多少内容？
As for the one who says it’s hard being a dad in prison, he should have thought of that before he either went to prison or fathered a child.
至于那些说在监狱里做父亲很难的人，他应该在入狱或生孩子之前就想到这一点。
There was just another three-thug kidnapping and armed robbery in New Orleans on 9-26-15.

I’ll bet this 17 year old gets NO TIME because of his age and protected minority status.

That is a problem and one reason more and more crime of this nature is being committed.
这是一个问题，也是越来越多此类犯罪发生的原因之一。
As I mentioned in an earlier post to this article, it is not uncommon these days for young blacks who have committed armed robbery to get off with probation.
正如我在本文之前的一篇文章中提到的，如今，犯有武装抢劫罪的年轻黑人获得缓刑并不少见。
This New Orleans case will be an interesting one to watch because it is not just armed robbery (with a gun), but kidnapping, too.
新奥尔良的这起案件将是一个值得关注的有趣案件，因为它不仅仅是持枪抢劫，而且还涉及绑架。
We had better wake up as a nation and get back to the rule of law, including equal application of the law.
作为一个国家，我们最好清醒过来，回归法治，包括平等适用法律。
Nice of you to forgive them, but they still should have been summarily executed, no due process.
你原谅他们真是太好了，但他们仍然应该被立即处决，没有正当程序。
At the very least, they all should have been sterilized and branded, or sterilized and lobotomized.
至少，它们都应该被消毒并打上烙印，或者消毒并进行脑叶白质切除术。
Simply stating what should be done to those of absolutely no societal value.
