Clearly this Alisha89 chick never learned you don't go to a persons house because u have no clue what they have.. This is a tragedy a promising young woman now sits in jail because females couldn't let something as petty as a ni**a go! Vanessa had 2 children, why are u out trying to fight someone when your kids are sitting at home?! Olivia was alone deg was jumped once and wasn't going to let it happen again, some people should leave well enough alone!! U jumped the girl once leave her alone after that! The justice system in Arkansas clearly sucks because Olivia should be out in law school right now that was self defense; no one in their right mind is gonna take an ass whopping twice I pray for her daily she did not deserve this sentence

I am a 54 year old african American woman and you all sound crazy. I once saw a sign in Chicago that said the most dangerous place for an African American Chilc is in a African American woman's womb. I took great issue knowing I have three children the I valued, raised, loved and prayed for while teahcing them about an honorable life. One which I had to model. The ignorance spewed under this story makes me wonder that this sign might have some merit.It is past time for young women of color who parade their right to be ignorant understand that the world is tired of you and so are your own people. This is an outragethat two lives are destroyed and you still talk like no lessons are learned. What about your children they will have no hope if you continue to live as you do. Pick out your coffin dress, and write down the names of all you think you will leave and oh yes, get ready to get your reward. Grow up and go back and find the dignity that you have lost. The world is tire of your excuses and ignorance, and there is no one to blame but yourself. Faith is free and if you invest it in God your lives can change. I have three children all raised with a moral and faith code and I am confident that only the mother and father can give that.

All this' stupid... Chicago this and that.. so what, it could have happend ANYWHERE, what is soo special about Chi that the entire world is jealous of?? That's some bs. But anyway, A life is gone that should not have been, yeah she may be free, but everyone has to meet w/ the ultimate maker... I don't care how 'bout it ppl claim to be in life, we are ALL going to have to take that step... Someone is missing a child, all these shoulda, woulda, coulda's SHOULD have been set in court... I am sure Olivia feels sorry for the actions she took and knew there were better options then to take a life in her hands, if she didn't then she's the fool... I am not startin' drama but this' how I feel about the situation... All this is not going to bring Vanessa back, at the end, no matter if she was shot God laid down the law and took her to a better place... A place where everyone will wish they will see... Olivia and her crew, I pray for you as well.

I am sick of you guys trying to cover up, what was going on in Pine Bluff. Im glad I moved away, Jumping each other from click to click should end now( Its been going on for years, there), since someone had to suffer. This child was not from Crimebluff, do not have family their and you little girls, living off the government..not having a High-School Diploma( Yeah she was G.E.D bound) always jumping people( I would have defended myself too(one or more bodies, is consider a deadly weapon). Instead of,clicking up at school, you guys should have been getting educated. You drugged your friend into this now, all you have left to say after you moved is , " I will smoke one for you or I remember those times when we you use to get high but she a great mother. FYI....go down to the Courthouse on Main and ask the prosecutor attorney, when are you able to file a restraining order? when its a family member, ex-roommate or a domestic partner other then that, you will have to hire a private attorney( how can a full-time student afford a private attorney?) Be for real you guys know that ya'll jumped her( even if she was getting flip at the lip, why did you not fight her one on one(alisha89) because thats not what ya'll do...its all or nothing(stay off the social network acting bad n get a degree to better yourselves.) Vanessa had to lose her live over foolishness, A Man come and go..its to much out there to fight another woman over it( its a free country to walk outside, so if you seen her by your house, so what?, you should have been happy people take the time out to be in your business but naw you felt disrespected( hell people talk about God, lied on him, disrespected him too...he did not rally his click up and decide to attack that indiviual.) Grow up and leave with the fact that you guys was the cause of her death. If I was Vanessa parents I would have you all arrested for(accomplice in my child murder and ask for punitive damages)...A Shame!!!!!!!!
