metalmonkey47 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Man, I just realized that today is the 1 year anniversary of my old friend Rajaan's murder last year. Looking back at it kind of pisses me off. he was the kindest person, with a heart the size of Texas. He was my schools star football player, murdered at the end of the season. All over one mans selfish act. He was set to go play for Vanderbuilt this year. He was his mothers pride and joy. He was the only one in her family to EVER make it to college and be successful without needing drugs. He had no father, lost a brother at a young age and grew past it all to be a beautiful person. Shit sucks man. Google Rajaan Bennett and see the results that come up for it. It's heartbreaking. Got bored and made this vid for him a while back to show what kind of a person he really was. /rant. http://blogs.ajc.com/recruiting/2010/02/18/rajaan-bennetts-death-hard-to-come-to-grips-with/ http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-6219885-504083.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQZ5C4-dpvs 1 Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I know the feeling man, my closest cousin was setup by some chick and some dude killed him. It never feels good to lose someone you care about to violence. My brother was almost killed a few years back when there was a big racial war going on in my city, it hurt a lot when I got the news. Great people are never forgotten 1 Quote Link to comment

Then the guy shot his uncle and killed himself. The bastard took the easy way out. He didn't suffer like his family and friends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tlcgBTCZtU&feature=related Quote Link to comment

I frikin hate anyone that takes there own life. My uncle blew his head off with his son's shot gun. Talk about fuckin a person up. It ruined the poor kid. 1 Quote Link to comment

deadmonkey Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Be proud that at least his death had meaning. Sacrificing ones life for the life of another is an honorable death, if not the most honorable. It is THE mark of selflessness! I try my best to believe there is good in everybody, though my faith in humanity is fleeting, I see glimmers of goodness now and again. The only way to break the cycle is nonviolence and compassion for your fellow man, no matter what they have done. My best friend was shot in high school while baby sitting for their neighbor. The father, shot my friend, his wife and then turned the gun on himself. Going that way is the most chicken shit of all ways. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I recently lost a buddy of mine that I grew up with. A drunk driver swerved into his lane and hit him head on, it killed him instantly. He has a kid on th way also. Quote Link to comment
intense 620 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 one of my best friends was murdered when i was 17. that probably was the hardest thing i ever had to deal with. she was raped murdered and thrown down a well in the foothills. sad thing was it was 3 kids that did it. 14, 15, and 18. and it was senseless.
