THIS IS SO SAD!! I BET THE REASON FOR KILLING THIS YOUNG MAN, WAS STUPID!!! PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE JUST SO CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT OF REVENGE, THEY FAIL TO THINK ABOUT THE CONSQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE HATRED IN THEIR HEARTS, NOT ONLY HAVE THEY TAKEN SOMEONE'S LIFE, THEY HAVE ALSO TAKEN THEIRS AND THEIR FAMILIES!!!! NOW THEY WILL BE SITTING IN SOMEONE'S JAIL,WISHING THEY HAD THOUGHT ABOUT THE CHOICE THEY MADE. AND FOR WHAT? DID THEY ACTUALLY THINK IT WOULD BE THAT EASY TO KILL SOMEONE, AND GET AWAY WITH IT?!!! PURE IGNORANCE IS WHAT IS IT& IT'S JUST PITIFUL!!!!

Ever hear of the expression .. it takes a village to raise a child?  I say lets start at home and have parents that love and care for their children. Stop being their "friends" and be their parent.  PUSH education and NOT sports!  After their glory days in high school sports comes reality.  LIFE!  When a child has no education to fall back on, their only direction is crime and violence.  Lets start caring about our children at HOME and together we'll experience a better tomorrow.
