One day i want to see these numbers stop. It so sad coming back and seening the number just get higher, higher. They're killing humans dont they understand the pain the family will go through? WHY CANT THEY STOP i know they feel so proud thinking no ones going to mess with them after they killed someone and for a fact they come in here so proudly looking at the ones that were they're target. Its not fair at all. PLEASE STOP. PLEASE

Thomas did not deserve this. To the person that did this: Thomas believed in the Lord and often went to church to praise Him so therefore Justice will be served. His voice was so unforgettable his love for his mother, daughter and new grandbaby was unconditional. He was humble and so determined to do good. He was so caring and loved his family so much. True Winner. And he will be greatly honoured. You're the best Boo. I love You. Please!!!! LAPD find this guy there are lot of broken hearts out here and i am truly one them (heart broken)
