Let’s say you’re a 25-year-old adult male living in Compton, California, and you flip burgers for a living. Then one day, after a fight with your parents or your siblings, you decide you’ve had enough of the day-to-day. You get high and no-show at work. You go on a road trip with your friends to Las Vegas for a long weekend. It’s all very fun and irresponsible behavior, and as it happens, it’s not exactly unheard of in places like Compton.
Then let’s say your boss at the burger shop notices you didn’t show up for work. And he reports you missing. Following company protocol, he calls the police, and tells them that you’re AWOL. He says he has no idea why this is happening, or what’s going on.
