[gorb]

My condolences

 

[Kadarin]

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully the guilty parties will be caught and appropriately dealt with.

Gotta say some of you guys in this thread have restored a little faith in humanity! If OP decides to go, I'll throw in some dough to get him there.

Guys used to just meet in the parking lot, fight, and then become friends. Now they just shoot each other.

/shakes head

Sorry for your loss OP. Awful.

It depends on the neighborhood. Shitty neighborhood = shitty schools.

Which means this type of activity is typical. Most of the time it's just a local news story. You will not hear about it on CNN.

She's having problems from the father's side of the family. A father who rarely saw his kids. She said she will be moving up here after it's all said and done and not to come down there.

Don't listen to that. Right now she is on an emotional roller coaster. She may say that today, but want you there tomorrow. Being there for her, even for a weekend will mean a lot.

The offer is still up for contributing to a flight fund, and hotel fund as well if staying separate would help her.

 

[clamum]

I'm in for $40.

I'm in the area, heck I used to live in the appts off of tree point years ago. Heard about this when I got home and at the local dive, it's incredibly tragic and I'm sorry for you and your girlfriends loss.

$257 round trip Fri-Mon (assuming you have MLK off).

Are there enough people on ATOT to make the flight happen? I'll kick in $50.

I will match, let's make this happen.

This is terrible. Very sorry for your loss.

 

[Chaotic42]

Damn man. I'm sorry for your loss.

 

[TheVrolok]

Just saw that she said not to come down, but if you end up going and still need a flight let me know what's left to cover for the flight. I'm in. Fucking awful. Sorry for your loss.

[Puppies04]

OP if you are taking the donations to pay for a flight for the funeral send me a PM with paypal details. I'm in for $50.

Sorry again for your loss.

Edit. I see she said not to go. Offer still stands if you change your mind. She will need you there to support her.

What an awful tragedy. My condolences.

Holy shit, this was in Arlington? Glad I'm out of town for a couple weeks.

How do you know it was over a girl?


Anyway, sorry for your loss OP.

 

[Chapbass]

OP, this is terrible. I'm so sorry for your loss, and please extend our condolences to the mother as well. High school can be a very rough place if you start taking sides and are vocal about things. Fortunately it usually doesn't come to something like this. Unfortunately, sometimes it does...

I'm in for $20, and can stretch it if were close. Can someone please organize this for OP? my internet is spotty as hell (im on vacation outside of the US), otherwise i'd do it.

Tatted up have a kid with no job AND you're street struck !?!?

If you guys care about this forum member you'll pay him to stay far far away from this kids mother.


Your post is wildly inappropriate for a condolence thread.

If OP changes his mind and decides to go, I'm on it. Not everyone interested in donating has posted here, either, so I am confident we can get it completely taken care of, should the need arise.

The longest no kill streak we've had out here in 15 years is 30 days, be careful out there OP.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Aw man. :'(
Don't really have anything to say, but seriously sorry for your loss.

I used to live in mansfield, just south of Arlington. Never considered it that bad of an area, but I guess horrible things happen.

EDIT: Oh man, I might have seen him play. The school name sounds familiar and I went to all my HS's games. I think we played them. Weird knowing that that school will not be the same.

wtf are you high on dude? seriously this is not the place or time for this.

 

[mrjminer]

Sucks. I used to live in Arlington when I was growing up in the late 80's / early 90's, and my parents moved us out as soon as it started to turn into crime-ridden gangbang land. Looks like he would have had a good football career ahead. At least they caught the guy.

Pretty shitty, on one hand you have a kid that is making something of himself, and on the other you have some worthless shitbag that kills him for making something of himself.

Condolences OP.

Do you have a link to this information? Can't find any updates other than the vigil and seizure of an SUV that may or may not be involved
