TO lovemyogeddie,WHAT MAKE YOU THINK THAT WHERE THEY LIVE IS THE CAUSE OF WHAT HAPPEN? THEIR RESIDENT DIDN'T DO THAT. AND TO SAY SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER SISTER AGAIN, WHAT A HATEFUL STATEMENT. AGAIN HER HEART IS TORN UP TOO. SHE LOST SOMETHING THAT SHE BROUGHT INTO THIS WORLD. HER HEART HURTS TOO. SHE LOST HERMOTHER AND BROTHER TOO. AND WORST OF ALL HER OWN BABY. SHE DID NOT PULL THAT TRIGGER, AND THERE IS KNOW WAY THAT I BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND IT IS NO WAY HER FAULT THAT THIS FOOL WENT AND PULL THIS CRAZY *** ACT. STOP TRYING TO TURN THESE 2 SISTERS AGAINST EACH OTHER, THEY ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER AND THEY NEED ONE ANOTHER NOW AND FOREVER. GOD WILL WORK ON THEIR HEARTS TOGETHER, HE DID NOT BRING THEM THIS FAR AND PUT THEM THROUGH THIS BIG TEST ONLY TO LEAVE THEM. HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!!! TRUST THAT!!!!!!

Yezzemboss, SINCE YOU SAY HES THE KIND OF DUDE YOU CAN HANG OUT WITH AND HAVE A FEW DRINKS AND THINGS WITH, I BET YOU GLAD YOU DID'NT TAKE HIM HOME TO YOUR FAMILY THAT DAY! YOU CAN HANG AROUND A PERSON AND STILL NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF. I HOPE HIS MOM JUST SHOWING FACE FOR THE CAMERA, BECAUSE I BELIEVE SOONER OR LATER SHE WILL HAVE TO COME TO FACE THE FACTS, HER SON WAS NO ANGEL BY FAR. I KNOW YOU WANT TO STAND BY YOUR KIDS, BUT SOMETIME YOU HAVE TO STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THE REAL PICTURE AND SAY SON PRAY TO GOD.BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO STOP LYING TO HERSELF. I WONDER WHAT DID HER AND HER DAUGHTER SAY 7 YEARS AGO, HE DIDN'T DO THAT EITHER (CARJACKING) I GUESS HE WAS AT ONE OF HIS 3 GIRLFRIENDS HOME THEN TOO!! MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM WILL NOT HELP. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO LOVE HIM FROM A DISTANCE. OR YOU WILL RUN YOURSELF TO A EARLY GRAVE, AND HE WILL STILL BE HERE DOING HIS THING.

If our judicial system weren't so broken, thugs like this would not be walking the steets to run amok! Bring back public executions and if they want to belong to a gang and prove their worth to a gang, bring back the chain-gangs!

Anser to Roner 11: The problem is that the so called (courts) do not do their jobs, but often let the criminals go free because ...there are so many in jail now.We should do away with the prolonged death penalty and speed it up to the 6 months; preadventure the law had the wrong man or woman. Id bet all this crime would stop or at least slow down, and for all the other comments .there is no color for crime.

That is one ugly looking mofo! I say waterboard him, then shoot him in both kneecaps, then put him in a room with Jennifer Hudson's family. That cowardly piece of **** should not be breathing
