Description

Having the opportunity to live through some of the hardest and deadliest times. Bennie takes a look back at his life and attempts to put in word his experience in the dark streets of San Antonio as a youth. His mind was corrupted at a young age to be what his environment reflected; Gangsters, Pimps, Robbers, Thieves, Killers, Addicts, Drug Dealers, Womanizers, Abuses and Protecters of the Criminal world going on in the Wheatley Courts Housing Projects. A Life that would lead him to causing major pain and destruction to individuals, himself and the Community. As Bennie sat in Texas Prisons, he had the time to reflect on his life. A life that would be changed forever after having a God experience after 20 plus years in prison. Before he could think is a double edge sword. On one end Before He Could Think; His young mind was corrupted into going down the wrong path. And on the other end of the sword, Before He Could Think; he was inflicting gun violence on his enemies before they could think... Bennie was considered the most feared Kid in San Antonio by the age of 16 years old and would be sentenced to prison for over 100 years, "Before He Could Think".
