    That crime was full of passion. Babyface had your woman or what or he owed you money. Which is it exactly

      He didn’t give life, so he shouldn’t have taken the man’s life. May he be severely punished and hanged by the neck. No judge nor jury is needed for this—just take him to the nearest tree and hanged him.

      is there someplace else hanging is performed separate and apart from the neck? and where is the disturbing video?

    Waw it took a crazy man to take out a retired gangster.
    In any event it’s not right and let justice be served.
    I know both of them very well.
    I talk to both all the time but more recently I have observed Kevin seems to have a serious nerve breakdown it’s the worst I ever seen him, he did need help and the system failed him as much as his relatives.
    This leaves me feeling very sad.
    Condolences to family of the deceased BabyJ.

    This is very dreadful and nobody should go through that. That poor boy saw them murder his father. Retired gangster of not it is wrong. Retired is a good word. Some of you people need to retire from judging others.
