Why everytime someone get killed you have to pull up the past history arrests? When them white kids strangled the black kids it took yall days to pull up their past run ins with Jpd! Smh. Oh I forgot that was one of jpd finest son!!

I agree Ms Mac. It is not necessary to slander their name. Regardless of their past that doesn't change the fact that they are a VICTIM. Rest in peace Chris. You are gone way to soon. Keep the second victim in your prayers he is expected to survive.

I can't believe every week I lose another friend. Its sad everyone is killing each other. This really has to stop. After the tragedy with Terrance & Eric you would think people would think twice. What will it take for this to stop? I can't even get on Facebook without finding out someone else got killed! !! Smh

I live around this location and we have had a resurgence of violence and problems here. Last week there was a drive by in the vicinity of this home and there has been no response by the JPD to that issue. When I moved here 20 years ago the JPD was trying to contain the violence to the east side. Now it seems with the expansion of the city the east side has migrated past the river. I expect that the east side will continue to migrate until it encompasses the entire city.

It's election season, ask those that are running for the City Council positions, especially those that have been elected to office many times what the plan is to quell the violence! Any advice Jan Quillman?

Or Mike Turk? These people have been on the City Council for many years and have ignored the problems of St. Pat's although they say they represent all citizens of the city!

This is horrible! I am so sorry for the family and friends of this young man.
I hope the second person makes a full recovery.
When will it end?!?

Live by the gun die however you want, just die. Tsk tsk tsk. Wabbit on wabbit violence. The best.

It is clear to me that the Patch is for people who are not talented enough to write for the Herarld News. The importance is that a life is lost, not of something bad the person may or may not have done in the past. It is extremely insensitive to people who may know the person and the point of informing the community of an event is to inform, not to make judgement. So Patch "writers", why don't have some decency and focus on reporting the news? Literally, every time someone dies they have to add in if the person made a mistake in their life. It's so disgraceful and it makes me sad that people who may not personally know the person will only remember the one or two negative sentences instead of praying for the life lost. I do not know this person but I pray for the family and friends left behind.

You know the officials won't do anything, people r just gonna kill people because they are ignorant and can care less about another human being. Let's just hope they take away our guns cause I'm sure the bad guys will give them up also. Then all the killings will stop..........

I'm so tired of these invisible cowards hiding behind their computer screens with all these disrepectful comments .....reveal yourselves!!!

Nice job. Once again someone is murdered and the news article brings up the fact the victim was arrested. Why not bring up the fact he has a newborn son that has to grow up without his dad. Or the fact that people are devastated by another senseless act of violence. Get it together newspeople. Think of how your irresponsible reporting affects everyone involved. Rest in peace Chris. You will be terribly missed.

You know its up to us to take back our neighborhoods.People gotta stop being so high and mighty, and start to make some noise about this. Its really SAD. Young black men will soon be the endangered species in Joliet.

Ms.Mac u seriously seem to be raciest against whites. Joliets finest kid lol that bitch cop.did nothing for her kid and still isnt. They bring up backgrounds because they want people to know the ones killed werent as perfect as their families say they are

This why we have a violence problem, everyone here blames someone else.This starts at home as poor parenting and grows out of control from there. We don't know the details in this mans death yet so why blame him, the jpd etc?

As long as there are illegal drugs, expect crime! Anyone's criminal record is public knowledge! I cannot believe that you people blame the council people for Joliet's crimes! If anyone thinks they have the answers to stop the crime in Joliet, RUN FOR AN ELECTED OFFICE POSITION! Propose your plan and let the people decide if you are worthy to get elected! Again, no-one wants to be responsible for his or her actions in America today, it's always someone else's fault! Phillip Cleary, have you ever thought of running for council position? Now's YOUR chance to see what you have to offer!!

I agree with Ms Mac. (Somewhat) I do not understand the necessity to bring up a victims criminal record. Unless it relates to the story, lets have some respect for the deceased. The herald news did the same thing to my brother in law. He was riding his bike home from work and gets killed by a drink driver. And they bring up a crime he committed over 25 years ago. This has got to stop!

As for it being racially motivated; my brother in law was white. I don't think skin color has anything to do with it. Bringing up these victims crimin history is wrong no matter who the victim is!

Yhis city is getting worse everyday

This morning WJOL reported in happened in the 200 block of Center st. which location is correct?

Anyone know why he was killed?

People have to come to the realization,look in other countries where military runs the show.People still shoot and rob each other.no matter how many police,military you put on the streets the only way to end this violence is to remove the profits of drugs from the gang members and organizations,instead of the tax payers of the U.S. paying for others to be housed and to gain a higher status for violence caused by drugs defending their gangs,how about the cities,states regulate the drugs and start to profit from it,most shootings,drug activity,money all goes to the federal government,decriminalization is a municipal fine and the money stays local...if we have not the commone sense to think about what causes the violence and not deal with that first then we will continue to suffer and lose people.Prohibition of Alcohol is what made Al Capone. And almost all of the other mafia's...And it is what is causing most if not all of the violence on the streets today..if this guy is an innocent bystander then his death is still a direct result of the gang business,and we will continue to lose people like this if the profits are not removed..they will sell pills to profit but through keeping a closer eye on Dr.s that prescribe 500vicodin and 180OxyContin in one visit...He'll we even had some preachers involved in a drug ring...soon when a single package of dope is worth a million 3/4 of Joliet will be on the move to make that million guaranteed...

People its time to pray and fast..... prayer lines needs to be formed... the only person that can help this is God.. tears of sadness..

What da hell does his past arrest have to do with anything? Have some respect for the dead? Even you slimey reporters who lie and twist everything have to have a littile feeling in that cold heart.

On his Facebook it shows him to be in support or a member of the 2/6 gang here in Joliet..exactly what I was talking about..what caused this? Territory.Why the territory needed? To sell drugs the more blocks you have the more money you make...could just be bad blood between gang members with all of the past shooting and killings,but this is more likely over drug turf.....different generations of people are involved in this not just his age group,so it shows that this will continue for generations to come as long there is profit in gang bangin..

Its so disgusting how this man dies and you put up a mug shot of him and put up his history. You have no right to do that. If you wanna write gossip instead of what's actually going on go work for star magazine..pathetic. There are friends and family mourning hours loss and you bring up old stuff. Grow up and have some respect

Concerned and Hopeful: Don't blame the City officals or the Police agencies or the their parents.. The problems lies with those individuals whom takes someone's life unjustly. I'm confident that the parents did'nt raise their children to commit these horrible crimes, and they should'nt take that blame,and responsbility for thier children's ungodly acts.
But, the burden, grief, and lose of their love one is paramount. I believe justice will prevail. I'm hopeful that we, yes we all unite and stop the blame game, work together for a positive resolution,(whatever they may be) Recognizing the objectives and set the needs goals for long term solutions.. Because it may come to your door, then what will you do?

I personally knew Chris Perry for many years...I grew up on the next block...he was a good person...who just made a lot of mistakes. Last time I saw him he was running with the GD's...I think our cultures glorification of the "thug life" is to blame...by all means Chris grew up middle-class yet he choose to run with gangs..because that's whats considered "cool" for a young black male! RIP Chris I'm gonna miss you buddy!

To I.J. In response to my comment;

I understand what you're saying. But as I said, if it pertains to the incident, then by all means include it. As of now, we don't know why his criminal past is important!

As for my brother in law; he was a hard working husband and father of 5, who was riding his bike home from work so my sister could have their only car. Tell me why it's important to mention his crime from 25 years ago, in another city, when he gets run down by a drunk driver and killed.

JUST ANOTHER THUG WANNA BE GANGSTER GONE

THE REASON FOR ALL YOU DUMB PEOPLE IS TO SHOW THEY WERE NOT THE BEST TYPE OF PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND PROBALLY GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED NO TEARS OVER HERE

R.I.P. CHRIS IM MISSING YOU ALOT WISH WE KICKED IT MORE. SOME PPL NEED TO GROW UP AN USE THEIR HANDS WHY HIDE BEHIND A GUN?? CAUSE THEY WERENT TOUGH LIKE CHRIS THATS WHY YOU HAD TO USE A GUN..AN THAT IS BOGUS TO BRNG UP HIS PAST AN YOU ASSHOLES COULD HAVE GOT A BETTER PIC. I LOVE YOU R.I.P. CHRIS

No doubt this is just another tragedy but why are people so surprised when this happens. "He" said it would happen. Please read:
2 Timothy 3: 1-5 "1 But I know that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of god, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power". This is what he said will happen.... and it will. No amount of police protection, gun control, Obama votes, crying at the site of the crime, RIP posts or anything else will change it. Just GET READY!!!!

I completely agree with Mr. H it does stem from poor parenting / abuse at home.
.

God needs to be put back into everyones lives, school,& relationships. He is the only one supposed to judge or take a mans life. Let the fallen angels rest & if one person can be convinced to take life a little more serious after crimes like this we'd be making progress. To many younger kids just have no use for life itself. Its sad to see people throw their lives away just to take another. Gang banging has been around before my time and will be here after me. Stupid decisions that a man makes affects everyone his family,friends,& children. We all know that but judging him after he's gone that's not our job. Leave it to God.

This was my brother an my friend he was a father to a beautiful baby boy an girl I'm not saying he was, a saint but he handled his business an who ever judges him fuck you ain't shit fuck his past we did what we did 2 get by we ain't hurt no one that didn't have it coming R.I.P. Chris ill make sure your family's ok I love you G Amor

R.i.p chris <3

Useless thugs..both of them

Wondering which glass house "CITIZEN" lives in! Must be nice to be sin free!

I do not know the recent victims of violence in this area but God Bless them and their families. As a parent, I feel they are gone much too soon but Gods plan is his. For us remaining and remembering, wake up.

Listen it doesn't matter what he did in the past what road they choose no body deserves to die everybody want to talk about race but at the end of the day black white brown green or yellow nobody deserves to have there lives taken

R.I.P chris u will never be forgotten love u and miss u

Between all of Chris's friends and family, I'm sure one of them would have been more than willing to provide a more suitable and jusitfiable picture for this aritcle rather than a past mugshot. What ever his past holds, none of it is appropriate nor important when making a community aware of his passing.

Almost None of you knew this man personally.if you did you would adore him.everyone i know that knew him were his best friends.. All they do is stretch beliefs and claim they are factual. Know what you are talking about before u write. Clutche i wish you wouldnt say things about his kids and not know about him.ur ur child,nephew,or grandkid was raised in the rough and this happened you would understand.come off of your highhorse and stop being a unknowing bitch.thankyou R.I.P Christopher Perry

Noone's perfect in this shitty as town... my cousin didn't deserve this whatsoever. It angers me that you ppl got a lot to say about him... my cousin was changing his life. I would know, I was always around him.

Rest in paradise Chris, your truly be missed, watch over us all <3

& as for the people who are posting rude and disrespectful comments, please stop and grow up to your age. This man just got his life taken when that is not any other persons decision to make, he was 24 years old with children. He didn't deserve to pass like this. God has him now. Ill be there to visit you budd <3 r.i.p.

Although I don't know the man personally I do know the concept of a gang. And Ido symapthize with a human that cannot integrate into society peacfully. Having said that a violent life can only end violently. Good trees bearing good fruit and all.. the man made mistakes, and this ouctome may have been recompnse for his actions. I'm not saying it was justified. I'm simply explaining causality to people who don't seem to understand it. So those of you who knew him mourn his death if you wish. That is your right. And those of you who do not understand the plight of a boy growing up in a neighborhood where a gang was the only safe way to walk through your streets. To remain undisturbed. I will mourn the loss of human life. Another gift of existence wasted and taken before it had time to live up to its potential. And I will breathe a sigh of relief. For the many who see this and realize that gangs are not family. They are organized (and I use the term loosely) crime. They indoctrinate and intimidate. They feed poison to their neighbors, weakening a dying tree. Further corrupting a failed system.

Here's the thing One I don't think people can argue that this crime was Gang Related.. you can tell by Chris's Facebook page that he was obviously affiliated with a gang. Two as tragic as this crime is here's the thing people have to see and this is 100% The Life you live is what you make of it good or bad...I have gone to jail before and yes every time it was my fault.. the actions I did is what landed me in jail and you know what it follows you where ever you go... as tragic as this is and has heartbreaking it is to the families involved... the life you live determines how people remember you.. If you live the so called "Thug life" how do you think people will remember you as.. if you live life doing right, when you pass people won't be able to say he passed as a ex gang member or he had a record..So before people try to say this is tragic, one yes it is.. but at the same time the life you live makes you who you are good or bad...

Sign me up with JPD I'd be more than happy to assist in efforts to clean up our streets!

Correct me if I am wrong, but is it not a known fact that if you join a gang you know that you are going to end up dead or in prison? I am not saying that this man deserved to die! I am saying that he knew what he was getting into. It is sad that this family has to suffer for choices that he has made, and not only this family, but all the families that have lost someone to gang violence. I am sure that there is going to be retaliation for this, and we will be reading about it next week. And we will all judge and argue racism. But it will be another life taken. The sad thing about this is, I wonder if these people even knew this man? All they see are signs and colors! Put these kids in a room together for the day with no knowledge of gangs. I am sure they might have been friends. I can't even begin to make sense of what these people are thinking? And as I read this article, no one really wants justice for what happen. As many witnesses as there was.....no one can give any information!!! REALLY!

Know what's funny..if you ask someone about gangs their reply is usually " F em let em kill each other" well that's what we have and people are just screaming out to politicians to pass more laws on the common citizen..the gangs are not going to listen to any law that the citizen will...if we demand out politicians to do something then we are asking of it...Shorter cerfew,more stop and search and seizure,..as we have people demanding more and more to be done by government the common citizens are e ones paying for it,getting your car searched,you and your kids standing on the side of the road while cops rummage through your families personal stuff,gun rights being debated because of some gang members shooting at each other....and why?....Drugs and Profit...gangs do not even stand for what they started for..now its all about drugs and profit...remove the profits and ou remove the reason for being a gang member..

Once again Clutche @ Citizen u have done a great job at showing what narrow minded insensitive jerks u two really are. As usual, being an asshole doesn't require being a rocket scientist. You only have to show an unusually high amount of ignorance and have a penchant for pissing on people whom are affected by terrible tragedy. Grow up or reserve your comments for your hate mongering rallies.... Did your parents teach u tact or manners? Obviously not, so think about what your lacking in character before u go throwing stones at others characters.

Clutche you need to be ashame of yourself with the bogus trash that comes out your mouth, You need to keep the trash to yourself. If you don't have nothing to say that makes since don't say it at all because you don't know any of these people.

Clutche leave the kids out of it. You don't even know this man or anything about his kids mind your business.

Spice that's some super deep **** I agree and feel u 100% keep giving us us some real knowledge about life, as we can see patch is one of the hottest sites right now so we need as much positive post as possible, I believe this is a good way for the people of joliet to have an educated debate and discuss the problems that happening in our city, because these are our future that's dying off everyday here, Chicago, and everywhere else, so keep the comments coming. And for clutches you need to remember that your not on a website with your kkk friends, so keep your racist comments off the patch!

What truth nobody knows the truth. Freedom of speech is one thing but talking bad about someone you know nothing about is another. And why every time something bad happen it has to be about gangs.

we all know the thruth...he continued to carry on like he owned everyone and everything in the neighborhood,,,he also carried a gun...it just so happened someone was quicker this time around...oh well...he got what he deserved and the streets are safer by 1 thug...and this isnt over by far..it just sparked more killings...put all these thugs and gangbangers in an opened field and let them go loose....keep the innocent people out of it...karma karma karma....

kkarama is a bitch n she will get even with these bad mouthin p.o.s on here

The Bottom line is Phillip is right....I also grew up in the joliet/plainfield area and the real problem is the fact that all these morons think the "cool" thing to do these days is gang bang, even if you are not "from the hood" and you don't live in a real hood. These kids are all so hell bent on being "real" and trying to make their actions fit their image that eventually, they all start actually being gang bangers. They all start literally killing each other so that they don't look fake. This is simply out of control, if you are from a SUBURB of Chicago, you absolutely 100% do not need to be in a gang to protect yourself, you certainly don't need to be in a gang because its the only way you can make money, and 99% of you are exactly what you are afraid of looking like...FAKE. You are NOT the people you all claim to be, thug life didn't find you, you found it...grow up, stop purposely talking like an idiot, you went to a good school, the majority of you lived in Plainfield, Crest Hill, or Joliet for as many years as you can remember. You guys CHOOSE to be this way, nobody told you not to go to school or work, you decided to become what you are...which in most cases is an unemployed loser that runs around living like a high schooler that is actually in the early to mid twenties. PLEASE just stop the act, the longer you guys do it, the worse this is gonna get...eventually you will all be "real" like you so desperately want to happen, and when it does you'll most likely die.

and I mean no disrespect to the man or his family, this just needs to stop. I hope they are all holding up well and I hope that his sacrifice at least makes some people change the way they are, makes them realize the mistakes they are making, and makes them realize that they don't want to end up like this...to all of his close friends, please let his death be a lesson to you. I don't know him but I would assume thats what he would want, make positive changes in your life and stop living this way so that your family and friends don't ever have to go through this again.

I went to school with Chris and was cool with him and he was a good guy but at the same time joining a gang doesn't have any outcome but death.He may of been changing his life but what he's done in the past don't change anything some people don't care if you ain't banging anymore if they had problems with you back then and they see you slippin *bang bang* it's the life you choose at one point and some people don't let past wrongs go. I'm not saying he deserved to die at all but at the same time when he became a two-six that's the life he choose. RIP CHRIS *Nasty Nate* Miss you homie My prayers go out to his family & kids. Because of this his children will never know the man we knew.

Okay , I understand that RIP means rest in peace,but what is the meaning behind adding the <3 behind it?

I take it that Clutche didn't vote for obamma!

They use this patch to show their true feelings on black people. Girls like Clutche that comment against blacks all the time have no life. They think we got it easy. Wake up my weak little person. This is real life. Tragedy touches everyone from time to time. I'm not racist but I hate people who judge that have no heart. Stop hiding and step outside .Maybe a driveby can happen to you. Who knows. Everybody dnt make it out
the hood. And some people pose a threat to cowards so they take the coward approach. But I know this wont sink in with Clutche until he get his cap peeled. Until
then as long as u know u fall under the category of cowards,its fine wit me. U probably don't even look in the mirror.

if u dont like joliet move n leave it to the real people that r from here.i ve been a member of a gang for 20 years n have seen many die over bullshit but have also been around alot of good the gang has done i have a job kids n alot of hopes n dreams and u can not blame a gang but u can blame the people who r involved in this lil chris was no saint but he was and still is a good man thease people who r talkin shit need to get out of there durty bubble n see the real world for what it is

wow..what good do gangs do? take care of people you dont like..line your money illegal...take the shortcut to life when those of us have worked our whole lives and earned all that we have...wonder why this state is messed up..

Yes I agree he was a 26 and what he did in the past will always come back to him its been said the opposition gangs don't give a f*ck that u trying to change which I doubt it look at his fb page they are still going to come back at you pop pop drop that's what it is

Clutche and citizen you don't have to be in a gang to get killed, haven't you heard of a million ways to die,and in your cases a million reasons to die, the hearts you 2 have you will have one of those merciful deaths probably a closed casket, change your hearts and your racist thinking,have respect for the dead and the ones who loved and knew him and the curse might be takin off!

Clutche if your so useful in society and dont care about these "Scumbags", why waste time stirring things up here posting? You should be out "Fighting Crime" or doing something productive. Go hike a mountain or sky dive and not slip or forget to release your shute. They might have been gang members or whatever but they people family members too...

He was a known gang member correct?

KJ I WILL NOT SAY I AM SORRY FOR WHAT IS POSTED BUT I WILL TO YOU SORRY I DO NOT BELIEVE IN CURSES AND I DID NOT SAY HE WAS KILLED BECAUSE HE WAS IN A GANG BUT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE REASON WHY AND IF HE WAS TRYING TO QUIT IT THEN THAT IS PROBALLY WHO KILLED HIM HIS OWN HOMIES , AND I WILL HAVE A OPEN CASKET AT MY FUNERAL SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES ALSO I NEVER SAID ANYTHING RACIST YOU MUT BE ONE POINTING FINGERS LIKE YOU ARE THE ALL MIGHTY ONE I LAUGH AT YOU AND YOUR SMALL MIND

Okay he wasn't a good man even tho jojo in joliet thinks so. You reap what you sow.

Good riddance. Anyone thinking he was turning around his life and trying to be a good man and saw anything that night should go to the Police to try to get his killers off the streets; see that is how good works!

I agree with Jojo on a lot of things. I how ever have been here in Joliet for over 20 years. I know the Perry's as neighbors and as friends. Chris was a good hearted young man who did make some mistakes, just as any young kid will do. As for who ever the person was that said he wasn't out serving his elderly...... He has neighbors that he did help doing things, he was not asked for help. He seen a person in need and extented a hand! He helped me out quite a few times.....walking by and seen me strugling and lent a hand. He has a great set of hard working parents who loved him with all their heart, and his Sisters are also wonderful young ladys.... So for those of you who would like to point the finger of blame, I will call your bluff because you are very wrong, very wrong indeed! I believe that Chris is being judged because people are ignorant of who this young man really is..... he is a good son (and those are the ones that break our hearts when things happen), and caring and protective brother, a person if he seen someone being picked on he stood up for the little guy, he had a hard head this is true, and he also told it like it is.... and people do not like to hear the truth. And for this, this is why his life has been taken, by a coward that hides behind a gun (probably illegal as well) because he couldn't fight Chris like a man! To my friends the Perry's please know your son will always be loved and we here in the neighborhood love you all and will be here for you!

@ Amazed 7.... they had the shooters!!!! They pulled them over less then 3 blocks from the home and then for what ever reason, they let them go! We have all talked to the police that night and woke up in the morning to peoples fences being tagged, so what to do when to cops don't want to help you? Take matters into our own hands, I am not a gang member! I walk my own line.... and Chris never disrespected anyone on our block, NEVER! If Joliet police do not get them I know that bitch that goes by the name of "Karma" she will....may they look over their shoulder ALWAYS till their end!

at .357...guess thats a person we never saw..he was beating up guys everytime they didnt move to the other side of the street..i called numerous times and nothing was done..he was a bully...he terriozed everyone and was a big fake infront of those that are in denial...guess he bullied the wrong person...chris carried a gun and pulled it out plenty of times...thats a man..guess its double standard....ill never have to look over my shoulder..im not stupid enough to put my kids or myself in dangers way...stay out of gangs and away from drugs...it will get you in the end...and it certainly did...

he terriozed everyone he didnt like..why people are in denial....i never have to watch my shoulder because im not STUPID enough to get into gangs or drugs ...as for my kids they dont have to watch either..they are great kids that also arent stupid.....you deal with gangs ,drugs and have the reputation you have..it gets you at the end...call me whatever you like..im not losing sleep over your comments..i do know i can get a good nights sleep now...

Karma was not refering to you personally...... and we all know Karma does make an appearence! I just do not like hearing all bad about a person.... I knew him since he was a small boy and my children were also friends with him. Maybe it was cause we treated each other with respect as to why we all remained on the up n up. He was older then my youngest and he was bullied at school by kids, and Chris stood up to those who would pick on him because he was out numbered. I am not in a gang and niether are my now adult children. I just know people that are saying it is his parents fault, it is not true! I have been there to see and hear the truths his parents spoke, and I too spoke with him manys times few years back. Did you know that he used to walk the streets with me and my kids delivering neighborhood meeting papers..... Just saying it was a senseless death of a young man who I believe was trying....

i never blamed the parents...kids get mixed up with the wrong crowds and for the wrong reasons..they sometimes dont think and theres not alot of help out there...sometimes its better to pack up and move on away from where the trouble is...

Its sad the way people judge someone when they dont no anything about that person rip chris

KARMA get off this guys comments you a-hole must not have nothing better to do then talk about the fallen. If Karma is real I hope someone talks as much smack back to you . You are no better than anyone and should not judge anyone losser I hope Someone catches u slippin Pshh KARMA

do you honestly think i give a care what you people think...nope...who talks smack to me...oh well...life goes on..never said i was better...just alot smarter then most..i dont make stupid decisions to cause my death...people in denial..im not losing sleep..and got lots to do...freedom of speech...deal with it

Even though I will admit I didn’t know him very well (I had only hung out with him a couple times thru my friend, his girl friend) there are 2 things I do know for sure: 1. He was one of the friendliest people I have ever met, and he made me feel immediately welcome, which is hard to do cuz I’m shy and awkward as hell. And that goes for his family as well; in the short time I was at his house, his mom was warm and welcomed me in as if she knew me. 2. If my friend loved him, I know he had to be a pretty awesome, badass person. That’s for damn sure. As she’s said before, she doesn’t really like a lot of people. And I won’t speak for her, but I know she liked him, a lot, probably more than I’ll ever know or experience.

Either way, the most important thing to remember is that a life was lost. I really don’t understand why some people insist on feeding off of the confusion, despair, and anger that tragic events such as this swirl up. This is completely understandable; everyone grieves in their own way. But to use this tragedy as a platform to spew your useless bullshit and master grand plans to end the violence is ridiculous. Go peddle your sniveling, desperate for attention, self-righteous, cause-driven, PLAYED OUT opinions elsewhere; this is not your brother, this is not your future father, this is not your son, or your cousin, or your friend. None of us will truly know what happened unless we knew him, and even they may never know the truth. So, to wrap this up, none of this matters; what matters is that a HUMAN BEING, no matter his mistakes, was taken before he ever had a chance to maybe correct those mistakes, to grow up, to be with his family. Is that too much to ask? I guess. And I guess some of us are unworthy of that simple request. Turns out his death was simply what he deserved… and THAT is the tragedy, that there are people who think they can be vile as fuck and who, fuckin idiots they are, dare to call themselves “karma?” Seriously? How long have you been so blissfully ignorant, and what the fuck makes you think anyone gives two fucks about what you have to say?

Karma and john roberts and clutche must go to maneuvers. And i think somebody black beat they @ss!

They are victims because being a victim is a by-product of the type of lives that they lead.
I'm judging them on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
Victimizers eventually become victims.
Mug shots becomes their legacy, because their legacy is criminal behavior.

call me ignorant,threaten me..idgaf.. dont like whats wrote then dont read it...i have the right just like everyone else...just look up the definition of karma...when my day comes it will be by god...not by criminal activity...get a life...and obviously some so called people (Afriend) ill be ignorant as long as there are morons like you walking the streets...deal with it...im still getting my sleep...stay in denial..your life is a denial...

Karma you really are a bitter person. You say your end will be by God, but God works in strange ways. It could still be by accident that you pass. No one knows how we will leave this world. And if you had such a hard time sleeping and were so worried or whatever, why did you not leave this neighborhood since he caused you so much distress? And do you know where your children are all the time, and who their friends are? I hope so..... because I see an awful lot of younger teenage kids and younger that need their asses paddled, I hope yours aren't part of this. I know I see some that I wish their Mamma's would have just swollowed to be quite honest! So make sure Karma that it isn't your kids out their acting a fool one day when someone points the finger at you.... like I said eventually everyone has "Karma" bite them in the ass some day! Hope it is not you I have to come talk to about your kids acting a fool and shit talking to people on the streets and throwing crap at peoples cars cause you never know who is who in your hood.... AFriend I love your feelings, and to all let this angel rest, he has his wings and now he is soaring the heavens! Peace ALL.... and Blessings!

im not bitter at all...confused on how people think life is better in other ways....i dont live in that neighorhood anymore...and as for my kids they are doing very well thank you...they are all employed with there own families far from what you call the hood...i never blamed the parents...kids dont think these days ...guess this ends my chapter for now...

Way to go JPD, how inept can you get??? They pulled over the murderers 3 blocks away and let them go...WTF??? Oops I guess Andy Griffith wanted a signed confession befire he could arrest them!!

I think if you kill all the white people and the police this will be a decent city !

Just like Detroit?
