David's father shares his insight on page 156: "...I believe that in this world people must pay for their crimes. It doesn't matter who you are or who your relations are; if you do wrong, you pay. I believe that. I have to."

What do you think about these convictions? What other story does Wes share with David about himself? How does this story complicate his belief system?

I think that Wes is doing the right thing because it is his job to enforce the law on any type of crime. Unlike many law enforcement officers today who confiscate items and use it for their own personal use, Wes is actually doing the law enforcing. Wes told David the story about how uncle Frank had saved him and his friend from the Highdog brothers. This complicated David's belief system about uncle Frank because Frank had always been there for Wes. Frank never harmed Wes in any sort of way, but now Frank was taking him to jail.
