    Life is so fragile. One moment someone is alive and the next moment they are gone. Situations like this remind us that we really need to appreciate life and try to make better choices. Rest in peace to the young man.

    Too much anger and hatred in the world today. Young men killing young men and for what? Five minutes of pride or revenge that will ruin multiple families forever. It’s truly heartbreaking to see.

    I don’t understand what’s happening lately. It feels like every other week we hearing about another shooting. A young man in his twenties had his whole life ahead of him. Whether he made mistakes or not, nobody deserves to die like that. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

    The young men in this country need guidance. Too many of them heading down the wrong road.

  • Esther March 10, 2026, 7:22 AM

    Unsafe country! Our young people are leaving us even before they get a chance to grow into the world! Lord I ask for protection over mine!
