— Dubya B, what do you want us to say? It was probably a crime of passion that was not preventable.

Dubya B, it is typical not to see many or even no postings from Syscom3, Just Saying, Meck, Yuri and others when there's a homicide involving a white person. Prejudice at is best!

— Jag, just wait for the day when a white gangster is killed. Then I will go off on him and his family just like the others.
But this being LA, it will only happen one or two times per year.
Me being prejudiced? The accustaion made from the morally bankrupt.

Syscom3, stepping and putting down on the families and friends of the deceased is beyong being morally bankrupt. We are human and we are not perfect.

"We are human and we are not perfect."
A huge majority of us don't engage in criminal conduct either!
You toss out the incendiary words of "racist" and "prejudiced" so often, it means nothing anymore. You don't know how to debate so you you those words.

Nosyscom-
Intellectually lazy and bankrupt people like you continually label syscom "racist", but when asked to provide evidence you conveniently disappear. If you're going to call him that, back it up or shut up....it's become such a joke.

this tragedy doesn't have anything to do with race. it has to do with 2 brothers. everyone posting something about "race" here is a complete and total moron. get a clue.
Sept. 18, 2010 at 7:41 p.m.
Really?
What can someone post about this? Besides TRAGEDY! It's one of the worst type of crimes! A brutal crime w in family is horrible! Regardless of race!
BTW Jag here is a SHOCKER for you: YURI is not white, old or male. Sorry to disappoint you, but contrary to what a lot of ignorant people on here think.. I am female young and Latin.. Savor that!
Thanks for posting!
