How would Ricky and Doughboy's mother feel if Doughboy got killed first?

I don't see the Mom being upset. Even when Doughboy was a young boy she loathed him and put him down "you fat piece of good for nothing *beep* Even when she would look at him, you could see the disdain that she had for him ... this is way before he started getting into trouble. It is unfortunate Doughboy didn't have a Furious in his life that would encourage him and keep him straight.

I think Ricky would have been upset about his brother; I think he realized that Doughboy always had his back

I think the feeling was summed up in the first quarter of the movie when Doughboy gets arrested. They show her reaction where she shakes her head. I think it would have been a similar reaction.

If you're not taking any steps forward, you're not moving at all.
