I think that volunteering is good for any person. Everyone should do it. But it shouldn't be forced upon someone who doesn't want to do it.

A 19-year-old shoplifter dies last Saturday. The police found out it was a Timothy Milan. He worked as a cook at a restaurant. A guard from Panzer's Department store saw Milan stuff some sweaters down his pants and left out of the department store passing the checkout line. When the guard saw this he began to chase Milan who began to run. Also three bystanders ran after him too. They caught up to him but he resisted and fought back but one bystander put a headlock to him. "We went outside to see what was going to happen and we saw the boy get dragged to the ground," eye witness Sherry Carter said.  "They were fighting alright, but it looked like all four of them were pulling at him and he finally stopped moving."

"Milan should never have run fro...
