Yeah Rick it's pretty crazy. The husband obviously took advantage of a man who had mental disabilities and violence/creepy problems, promised him things to kill his wife. But the husband hasn't been arrested yet, despite the blood found in the garage and all details the man confessed to pretty much being proven. People were pissed but I think the authorities just don't wana screw something up.

I can't think of a parent who would give a da*m about anybody else's conclusions were they living that nightmare.

Opinions flow freely on GC and in the nation. Excluding the jurors, people can and do draw conclusions about a wide range of things. This thread won't hurt anybody's defense nor will it prove/disprove anybody's innocence. It does, however, give those capable and interested the opportunity to explore issues at a deeper level.
Tony, his parents obviously do care. They are making their rounds and getting his name copywritten so they can make money off the t-shirts. Anyone I know who's child was murdered would be too distraught to travel around and make appearances, but I guess people mourn in different ways.

I wasn't talking about GC drawing conclusions. Everyone is having a discussion and sometimes debating facts. I'm talking about the public as a whole, and when Al, Jesse, the New Black Panther party (everytime I think of it, it reminds me of Forrest Gump), Spike Lee's dumbass, and all these other celebrities speaking out and convicting someone before all the fact are out there. That brings it to a whole new level. For these celebrities and politicians, it's just something to make them look good. Something to "stand up for". If they really cared about young black men being murdered, then get your asses out there and DO something about it.

I don't know what's going on in other towns, but like I mentioned before there is a child murdered almost every week in Detroit because of gang violence or whatever other reason people feel the need to play God. Two women were kidnapped by one's ex boyfriend and their bodies were just found. But Jesse comes here NOT to fight against the violence in our town, but to stand up for the Detroiters who are fighting against having an Emergency Financial Manager because they're afraid their union goodies will be taken away and all their corruption will be stopped.

These celebrities have other agendas, and that's to jump on board with whatever cause is going to make them look good. It's sickening and they, and the media, are making a circus show of this boy's death. I mean really, how do you take Mike Tyson talking about this situation seriously after watching The Hangover?
