A chain or there’s more to the story as i learnt the girlfriend of the deceased was also the ex of the shooter so there’s more to that story
Don’t be troublesome and go to all actions it have. You will fin
d trouble or trouble will find you
we are not in the wild wild west and a chain can never worth more than a life
that is true,but gangsta life has street codes and principles,these man and them,you do not know half the story,when these things happen you are just shocked same as the other person
Guns! Guns! Guns! Where did this person get the gun from?
Why did you think it your duty to kill him? You are to protect and preserve life; not take it. There is no excuse for taking a life.
Why murder your fellowman? What satisfaction do you derive from taking a life?
How can you ever live happily and peacefully when you take a life?
This is a life you will have to give God an account for because you murdered him.
These days many people have guns. Why do they need a gun? To kill their fellow people? All guns in D/ca without especially a license should be confiscated.
The DPP and other relevant authorities, you should be surprised that there are many guns in D/ca. Did you ever ask yourselves how these people obtained the guns and brought them to D/ca?
If the murderer is caught, I hope bail will not be granted. You cannot have a murderer released to walk the streets of D/ca. There is a possibility that this person could re-offend.
I am really watching and asking myself…what is the value of a life in my homeland…. really??? I know Elio and even if I would not want him for my family…he is a man…a life.. that cannot be so worthless….I am in no way defending leo…but I would like at least to see some justice served for him small as it might be…we all know who shot Elio, and what frightens me is the message that this is sending out to our other young men…I have been at the sharp end of intimidation already, so are you saying to me now that if i feel threatened by a man, I should kill him before he kills me??? is this the message??
I am not defending Elio, but I think if you walking down the road and a guy pulls a knife on you. You have the right to defend yourself… if you hit him with a piece of 2 *4 and he dies….then oh well.
How do you expect to be walking down the road wife your wife or girlfriend minding your own business and just Let him kill you.
I understand what you are saying….but manslaughter and murder are two very different crimes…when bad blood is left to brew this is the outcome…spread love and peace among brethren, this should be our delight, instead we choose to hate and kill… FEAR is the real enemy.. fear is the seed of evil..
Rip elio I hope they find justice for ur death.. Real solider..
ok Dno hope you keep us updated………round the hour…
money money money
doe leave good life for bad life
Justice for Elio!
I don’t know the circumstances surrounding this
Horrific crime but it’s very sad , another young life
taken. Rip Elio.
I hope they find the ones responsible… I don’t understand how people can be so badminded in the life and feel proud of themselves… Though it would apply to the deceased, RIP to the young soul
Do you know the saying, “Two wrongs do not make a right?” Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Turn the other cheek.”
Why did this man feel he had to kill the young man? Some people have a bad temper and cannot control it. The devil has lodged himself in his heart and is rampant in D/ca. Of course, I am aware it is not only in D/ca.
Something has to be done about those people and their guns. Where did he get the gun from?
No matter what the victim was like, the person I feel sorry for is he who was shot and died. I hope God had mercy on his soul. RIP!
