Compassion, If you would re-read my post also, I never called you stupid either, I said (“I wouldn’t go on TV or any blog and tell everyone what a good person he was. That would just draw attention to my own stupidity”). I never said “your stupidity”.  I said “my own”.  If you want to take that as me calling you stupid then you take it how you want. 

This is a public forum for people to discuss what and how they feel about any particular subject.  Anyone at any given time including me could be the next person with a family member who has done something “worthy” of a discussion on here, but I can chose to ignore it and act like they are not any family of mine or I can get offended.  We in our own heart choose to let someone hurt our feelings or throw it over our shoulder and go on about our business.

Compassion where in my last and only post in this section did I call you stupid? No need to reply as to what I have done for my community, city, county, state, or country I have done more for this country than you could imagine.  Now that being said, my statements may hurt or insult some people but that is my right to do, voice MY opinion about things I see wrong with this world, the people in this world, and the leaches on society that choose to deal or use drugs.  They had a choice and chose the wrong direction.  I have kids and I never chose drugs over them, instead I chose to work hard, two or three jobs at once on several occasions to make sure my kids were fed, clothed and housed.  So please don’t come on here and give me a bleeding heart story about nuk. His kids I do feel sorry for, I can only hope that they grow up and learn to make the right choices and become productive members of society.

Sirk, when I stated “I will be sure to share your kind words with the children that just lost their father.”...I was being sarcastic to those posting disgusting things. I wouldn’t begin to share this kind of hate with the any of our children that are affected by this situation.  No, I don’t need to look up the term “compassion” and Wait4Me, thank you, my heart is blessed. I began all this to say have some regard for human life. No where have I condoned illegal behavior.  I have never before posted to any public forum but felt led to my family and innocent children are affected by this situation. If you were to re-read MY posts, I said I couldn’t attest to the kind of father he was and that I can only speak of the children our family will be trying to raise. No one can ever classify me as stupid as you did. I AM doing my part to stop the cycle. Everyday I impact my community, children I work with and the children my family is raising thru academics, volunteerism and values… & You?

Compassion87, you need to look the meaning of that word up. Sharing the “kinds words with the children that has just lost their father” is not compassion.  If these children are old enough to read and have a computer then then have already seen those words.  If they are not that old enough to read, then you are instilling hatred in their hearts at an early age. If they didn’t know their daddy was a crack dealer then maybe they need to know at some point so they can decide if they want to follow the same path he did and wind up dead too.

I have no respect even if it was a family member of mine for anyone who deals drugs.  Even if they are just a thug, I wouldn’t go on TV or any blog and tell everyone what a good person he was. That would just draw attention to my own stupidity. 

After someone dies that is not the time to let a person know how good they were/were not because they are not around to hear that. Tell them while they are still around to hear it.

Maybe jlnnys baby daddy is not a drug dealer who beats on the popo. I think I would be ashamed to get on a public forum and talk about how my children are upset about my baby daddy, the drug dealer taking his own life by eating an 8 ball of crack and doing a cross country run to get away from the po po,  who he just put the beat down on. If I were you I would have the kids at church and pray for them and not be on some public forum carrying on like some chickenhead.

I forgot, equally important is to live an exemplary lifestyle and lead them by example.

Diamond, what can we say without hurting your feelings?  Obviously we feel for you/ your family, but at the same time we must condone Willies choices/lifestyle.  This outcome was inevitable yet preventable. 

Teach your children to stay in school, excel in their activities and always work hard.  Provide them with the love, constant supervision and work ethics they’ll need to succeed in life.

thank you compassion87. the man who was just found floating is my kids father. we all make mistakes in life none of us are perfect my kids are devastated. to jlynns mom you should be ashamed of yourself you are a mother and for you to write something so hateful is just that hateful. i pray that you never have to go through the pain that my children and i are feeling. i know that death is a part of life but who gives anybody the right to take another persons life.

Bless your heart Compassion87, I have compassion for the victims of drug crimes, you know the ones whose houses are robbed, cars are jacked, the ones held up at gun point for their belonging all so some thug can buy drugs.  After having my house robbed for drug money and losing some very personal and sentimental items so some p.o.s. can buy drugs or make money without working like me, well let’s just say compassion for criminal’s rates right up there with terrorists, constipation, and hemorrhoids.  If a person wants to ruin their life, so be it, but when it does affect mine then I reserve the right to voice my opinion thank you very much.

Compassion - your portrayal of us as non-compassionate is incorrect.  We are compassionate, but it’s directed towards the grieving family - AND to those who are harmed by thugs/dealers. 

I wish more of the same to those leading this lifestyle; and great things! to those willing to honestly work for them.
