Blaze Bernstein was good. He was a good kid who grew into a good teen and was making a pretty smooth transformation into a good adult. Blaze was kind and talented. Blaze was adventurous and intelligent. Blaze was gay and Jewish.\xa0\nSam Woodward was angry. Sam was an angry kid who grew into an angry teen and transformed into an angry adult. Sam was aggressive and isolated. Sam was confused and hungry for attention. Sam was a homophobic white supremacist.\nThis is the story of 2 boys who grew up just an hour away from one another. Both boys were raised in affluent families, both attended the same prestigious art school, and had many advantages in life.\xa0 So how did one end up violently stabbing the other to death in an empty park in the middle of the night? Well, it seems that one can take two very different paths and still end up at the same destination. One chose hope, and the other chose hate.\n\xa0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick to learn more\nBlaze Bernstein Memorial Fund\nBlaze it Forward Facebook group\n\xa0\n*Affiliate Link\nWWBD Merch\nBuy your WWBD swag here!\xa0\nJoin the Conversation
