So sad ppl are so ignorant. my friend of 8 years Johnnie Lee Hooker who served his country in the military does not deserve to be disrespected by you. His brother Joe doesnt either they both were talented baseball players. I am a college graduate as of april 2010 we all grew up in the same neighborhood and if I decide to use slang so what? That doesnt mean i not educated. I dont have to abandon my roots to impress you? With that being said....Deuces ya dig?, hacker...R.I.P
They have in custody the idiot that killed these two young men, I hope he gets exactly what he deserves!! This was such a senseless tragedy. A Mother has lost two sons my heart goes out to her. May her children rest in peace.
R.I.P TO MY BUDDY JOE JOE. I MISS YOU BOY KNOW YOU CAN REST IN PEACE. EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE BUT THEM TWO SONS OF BITCHES WHO KILLED YOU AND YOUR BRO FOR NO REASON WILL GET WHAT THEY GOT COMING TO THEM. PEOPLE RIPE WHAT SOW........... $MUCH LOVE TO JOHN AND JOE$
To the Blog author could I be permitted to quote some of the information from your above post if I post a link back to your site?
and hackers means hater, hater. niggas worrying about wat i type but not commenting on wat really went down
regardless to wat i put or how i write in slang. The fact still remain so fuck u.
My God, I had to comment back for people like Anonymous and Duh who, no matter what they say, are racist. These stereotypical comments being left are not only senseless, they are totally inappropriate and insensitive to the events that happened. There is a mother somewhere in our community that lost two of her baby boys. Lets be realistic, these were two young men in the community that lost their life. I guess what bothers me the most is that we all know that you(negative, tacky) would never have the guts to go to these mens' funeral and yell this nonsense in person at there family, so you use the internet as a podium to spread your ignorance? I am so appauled and repulsed that people are willing to use their freedom of speech to voice such crass and hurtful things. We are all human and we all bleed red. And as a side note, what is so different with someone using slang like Cuhz to describe a friend than someone using OMG to make a statement? So judgemental.
I'm sorry 4 ur lost! I know how it feels 2 lose 2 brothers! I just pray that u guys get through this peacefully! One of my brothers was a homicide as well, but weeping may endor 4 the night but joy comes in tha morning light! Thank u lord! I'm my prayers go out 2 u and ur families! I may no know u but I love u guys!
I'll be there buddy. Why didn't you take the time to run off at the mouth and entertain everyone? That's the only reason I was talking shit was to get you fired up and have the opportunity to read another one of your rants. You're losing your edge man. I've got to find another troller that is willing and still capable of entertaining or I'll have to find something else to do.
Dude, those were the best brats I've ever had. Johnsonville's are the best. Hope to see you again next year at the Gay Pride Parade. And bring the b-b-q grill.
This guy Huh spends his time trolling blogs to attack people regardless of their race. Please don't think that all whites are so worthless....and we're certainly not all gay. How's my Johnson taste Huh?
I feel bad for the family of the deceased. It must be aweful losing 2 brothers at the same time. My condolences to all of you. You can help by trying to change the mentality of your neighborhood, which I know many of you are doing. People that have jobs don't need to kill others. The boy that killed these young men was most likely a thug that had no other motive to kill them besides maybe he wanted something of theirs.
The pigs are too busy chasing the pot heads to get this crime resolved. We've got to stop people from sitting in their bedroom and taking a couple of tokes, even if we have to trade justice for the cause. Those pigs ain't doin' shit! My brother was killed in Ft. Worth, TX, but he's a drug addict, not a doctor, so the pigs have better things to do. They don't want to mess with people that are actually violent enough to kill some of them. They'd rather raid the homes of innocent working folks and shoot their dogs and scare their families to stop me from burning one in my bedroom in the evenings.
Huh?,
Go easy dude. Nobody is attacking your (our) race on this blog. There are some folks that need to vent about a murder that hasn't been solved. They don't deserve to be attacked. You should find some of the other blogs where blacks are attacking whites and take your frustrations out on them. There are plenty of racist blacks to exchange blows with, but I haven't seen one on this page yet.
Dear B Dub and Slymfast,
I just wanted to inform you that the majority of your friends and family can't read. To further complicate the problem, you throw words like "dem" and "cuhz" up on the board. Now your family members, the ones that haven't been killed, are putting their filthy fingers on computer screens at the public library trying to sound out words. Trust me, they'll still be there tomorrow working out "ha---hac-----hackrerres------hookers!" Once Tyrone figured it out (so he thinks), a group of individuals start throwing gangs signs, dancing a jig, hootin and a hollerin', screaming "yeah Tyrone- damns you's smart! Dat's Hokers ya'll"
Unfortunately, just like at the theaters, the library has been victimized and silence is no longer golden.
Please refrain from posting on here. Otherwise you'll stir up your peers when they dicover c----ca-----cat-----cat!
dem hackers is scanless for murdering my young cousins like that.i love u john and joe 4 ever fam. my heart goes out to my aunt.

The person responsible for this senseless crime is already in police custody.
Would someone please call the Tips hotline and tell the police who did this, cause they are too busy right now catching those evil old pot smokers and checking for valid drivers license or hanging out at the local QT getting in on what freeby is available.
People are silly, we are killing off our own race and comitting murders for no reason at all. On top of that....we have all of these young men and women giving up the rest of their lives for issues that could have been resolved with communication. Already the young man that comitted this crime has been arrested and is now in police custody. How silly these characters are. All we can do is continue to pray that Lord will open the eyes of our young people (not just African Americans) but all races to stop these senseless murders. Amen.
