Huero, why do we need gangsters to protect us?
Perhaps you can tell us if the deceased was a gangster?

May 4, 2010 at 2:49 p.m.
uh oh....the internet gangstas are back....watch what you say!!!
Huero- The real cowards are ignorant gangster scumbags who can't handle themselves like men, so they need the protection of a gang and the gun. Really tough.

U guys r pathetic, have respect for the dead, it's only obvious ur mothers didn't tech u better, he was no rat he was a loving person, he didn't need protection from a gun or gang he could protect his self with what god gave him,. Chris n ur other hommo friend, go ask the gang members ur self if u have bigger balls than them.. Love n miss u victor, I'm not ganna ask u to watch over us cuz ur with god to b in peace.. Ur in our heats every day... Love u P.s this report is wrong..

Family, thanks for confirming for us, the deceased was a gangster.
By the way; its "homo" not hommo. And "teach not tech.
And in this day and age, calling someone a "homo" means nothing at all.
June 25, 2010 at 3:48 p.m.
Huero - Was this youngster from Rose Hills? From your post, sounds like he was...
Syscom - how did you deduce that "family" confirmed he was a banger? And secondly, speak for yourself about the word homo. LOL. I guess you dont mind if someone calls you a homo but the rest of us do...
Again, shaking my head and wondering why all these young men of color are dying needlessly. Its sad and disheartening. We are killing each other for nothing. Its a damn shame...

R.I.P. Victor. I only met him once but it still makes my stomach turn to know about his death. My deepest condolences to his family.
July 31, 2010 at 10:49 a.m.
Syscom3 ur a pathetic excuse,. I couldn't even call u a man,. Just leave it alone n have respect, he was a humanbeing n that's all that matters,. He was killed for no good reason, do u have a life or even family,? U wouldn't like it if ppl were talking crap or judging them after they passed away,. Victor was more than a brother to me,. He was an angel even to his last breath,. So go let ur daddy touch u some more n stop talking crap,.. Would u have gave ur life up just to save 2 more.?? I dnt think so n that's exactly what he did,..

sounds just like the old days when the other victor (gato) and the twins and that lil dude got killed in one night wow and to think that I could have been in that car with them.....and if this is the same huero that I think it is then all I have to say is grow up ! your in your thirties now right.

Look in the mirror before you judge anyone...Some of us were lucky to walk away from our neighborhoods and some werent....It doesnt make it right or wrong..we all share the grief of losing our homeboys to the streets..We all share the grief with the lose of our homeboys in the past...Let them R.I.P.....We always have you in our hearts and minds.....MRY>>>

The guy was good people and out of them all I sincerely only cared about the guy and his passing away upsets me. I really thought he'd be better taken care of. I am disappointed in him, with those who he resided with, and those who "claim" were his friends. May you rest in peace Victor you were a big part of my childhood if no one else remembers you.

You know some of these remarks are kind of insulting. My brother died for something that never gave him anything. All i would have loved is to open his eyes but his heart was to much in it. And if anything good could come out of this that's great. There is more out there in life then these so call gangs (friends). The pain that the loved ones go through will never go away. So with all do respect u guys knew travie,maxo, even blame.. but i knew victor n that guy is a wonderful guy and he would have done anything for his family n true friends.. so thank u for those who still have him at heart n wrote nice things about him .. n for those who r running there mouth have respect for the dead.
R.I.P Victor A. INFANTE
LOVE
LIL SIS
