I’ll second that thought!

Wow I just love the way some people think, reason, and justify what others do.  Nuk, was a DRUG DEALER, no other way to put it softly, kindly or politically correct.  He CHOSE the life he led, he had the option of getting a job maybe even a second job to support the kids he supposedly loved but he chose to deal drugs and be in your words a “hustla”.  Now do YOU really think that was the way his kids needed to be raised?  If you break the cycle of life you can accomplish anything, I know I did it, I worked and educated myself to be more than just another dirt poor laborer. Nuk wasn’t held back or down by anyone but himself, let’s stop the “victim” talk.  I do feel sorry for the kids, they din’t request to be born into this world to have a drug dealing “hustla” for a dad, they were brought into this world by a man that decided it was easier to deal drugs than work hard and show his kids what hard work, ethics, and determination can get you.  Do I feel sorry for him?  NO why you ask? Because he could have been so much more and HE decided he would throw it away and become a drain on society and a disappointment to his kids.  As for the police, give me a break this guy ate cocaine and was high, at night, in the woods, and fell into the pond and couldn’t get out.  Also “they” to me means any drug dealer, hustler, thug, robber, rapists, basically any criminal that would rather take than give to society.  No color or ethnic lines, this affects ALL races.

my my, seems folks post here with out reading. kids were refered too as being the victims. reread what i said, or get some one to explain it.  as for the word THEY it means just what i meant it to. the thugs and low lifes, gangsters,welfare suckers, any one that doesnt contribute to society. if u cant under stand this get some one that can read or isnt under in fluence of drugs or booze to explain it. i would tell u who i am so i could ,but u prolly dont own a phone to call me. if ur in mobile ill give u my adress . invite u over and we can talk.

when did drug dealers become a race???  how is giving up on living within law and order ok? who in there right mind says, the cops are bad and they are out to get you? how is it sick to say a kid is better off not having a drug dealer as a dad? just who are you wishing well? just what are you bring to this post? double talk and bs?

Whose the “They” in “That’s what THEY are taught at birth”?  Nevermind…Well, I tried to bring some intelligence to the posts with obviously unrealistic hopes that people could be reasonable not racist, ignorant or otherwise…but Sickthus and SeniorSty302 that must be waaaay over your heads.  Last point, Say what you want to say about adults but make sure the kids are off limits.  The children have no part in your opinions, judgements or other BS that you seem to spew.  Stay on topic. I’m hoping that you two (and any others) are just people who deliberately “post while stupid” to get people up in arms.  No matter…well wishes and all blessings anyway.

why do you all reply to posts from skittles??
he/she /it will of course defend this thug.  its what they are taught at birth,  police and whiey is the bad guys no matter the facts. all the skittles in the hood cant bring NUK back.  he is one less drain on society. as for him supposrting his kids,im sure his kids are waiting at the door every note. i cal hear it now”” daddy daddy, did u score big,  how much dope did u sell,  how many aks did u steal. daddy can iget a new bong.” really good example. ihope more thungs like   nuk   decides to eat coke or crack, less thugs   in jail, more off the street.
nuk wasa dumb azz.swimming under the in fluence of coke

Yes, the police are shady info. Not like you who think “the man” did it and just being a hustler dope dealer is just doing what you have to in the last days we are in? The cops kept him in the pond or the 8 ball of crack and to much KFC?  We need more info, call the naacp and get Rev. Al, we needs to get the word out.  His life style did him in and by the way you are posting your not far behind.

Skittles100 - good points.  Some factors of this case beg for many answers.  My point is how people can have such a disregard for human life—judging others with facts unknown, making assumptions from shady info, people doling out grammatically incorrect opinions and feeling all righteous. Many people come out on the other end of situations better, learning from hard lessons taught when wrong decisions were made. Again, I’m no advocate of breaking the law and is a PROVEN criminal (yep, you’re right no case to try…THEREFORE, NO court has given us a guilty or not guilty verdict).  I can’t speak to what kind of father he was.  But I can speak to what WE, as a family, will have to go through to raise healthy children. Please don’t think anybody is looking for your sorry pity or understanding.  I just wanted to express my disgust at how people disregard human life. I work with & raise hurting children & caring about others is the LEAST we could do.  MAKE A DIFFERENCE not judgements!

FIRST OF ALL! TAKE TYPING 101! THE DIRTY COPS WAS KEEPING HIM DOWN IN THAT POND IN MILTON FLORIDA! POTNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya waz da man keepin him down. he kept himself down by being less than a man. it is ez to be a thug and dope dealer. skittles with that kind of thinking i hope you can swim cus you’re in over your head right now. nobodys buying what your selling and can’t but it from him no more.
