Jon Romano, sentenced to 17 years in prison at the age of 16 for attempted murder and reckless endangerment, shares his story. In 2004, he took a gun into Columbia High School in New York, a decision that would change his life forever.</p> <p>Today, Jon collaborates with authorities and uses social media to prevent history from repeating itself. In a shocking turn of events, he became a victim, attacked while working at a homeless shelter, enduring sword wounds and a brush with amputation.</p> <p>This episode goes deep into the psychological scars left on Jon&#39;s classmates at Columbia High School. We explore childhood trauma, depression, and the dark path that led to a heinous crime.</p> <p>Our conversation is not about promoting violence but about learning, growing, and raising awareness.
