whiteboy25 I guess you believe somehow that YOU will then get into heaven? I as well as most will pray for you. Not because of your ignorance (in my opinion) but something that you DON'T realize and it's sad. First of all, I don't even believe that you are white but that's me. More importantly is that you are the true definition of "Coward". I understand that you will laugh (in denial) and say some more useless things but atleast you will see this. You are what we call an "internet gangsta'" all your life you have needed the internet to say the things that there is no way on earth you would say to someone else's face. Not because you would get stomped into wine but because you just aren't a man. Not a REAL on atleast. That speaks his mind and is willing to die on his feet than live on his knees.You are a coward and there are only a few things that get less respect, rapists, murderers, molesters, snitches then COWARDS. Hopefully one day you will realize that and man up, until then. Good luck living your pathetic life being bitter,, jealous and terrified of those you claim to hate. You are obsessed with Blacks, if you wasn't we wouldn't be worth a second of your time. But wait, it's easy when you are a coward. Deny all you want, I won't read your next post. And you won't do anything BUT post. It's what cowards do. When you're done with this, get up and wipe your knees off.

Some people are ignorant and some are stupid. The derogatory statements made here show pure stupidity. Hemlock Courts is not a bad neighborhood. Since I have moved here, the people I've met have been friendly and welcoming. This was the first incident of violence I have known of since moving in July. How dare you judge an entire neighborhood by something like this? It happens EVERYWHERE. And the fact that he is a young, black man does not make him any more of a thug than old, white grandmother murdered in her own home. By the way, small-minded people, I am white. Not one black person in Hemlock has ever caused me any harm. I would be more worried about what you would do to me if you were in my neighborhood. Only God knows the character of a man. I never met Jeremy, but I pray for his family. May God give you peace and the ability to eventually forgive.

Wow! Did not know the young man, but I will keep the family in my prayers. As for the individuals passing judgement on Hemlock Court you may need to check the facts on violent crimes in that apartment complex. If everyone in Hemlock is a thug, poisonous, etc. then I must be a thug too. I spent 13 years of my life in Hemlock Courts. By the way, North Little Rock High Graduate, Arkansas State University Alumni, Manager for Walgreens, no kids, No crimunal record, Lives in Dallas, proud of where I came from!! So if those are the thugs Hemlock is putting out, I will take it! Arkansas has a long way to go!!!

@ Whiteboy. We will not lower ourselves to your standards. It is what's wrong with the world today. For you to actually sit here and TRY to down grade or be little a person who just lost there life is IN HUMANE. I hope and pray that you or your family never have to feel that pain of someone taken. You are actually sitting here talking about materialistic crap that will be on this earth even when you are dead and gone.. It shows the the type of THING you are because you are not human just a waste of space. MAY GOD STILL BLESS YOU AND YOURS........

Fam & Friends, we have to ignore the IGNORANT people out there that post messages to be heard. We know in our hearts what type a man my nephew Jeremy was and will be in our hearts. As i look on facebook and this site i see so many people who really cared and loved Jeremy. I am in S. Florida and it warms my heart. i hate my nephew is gone but his memories will live on through everyone he has touched. Gone But Not Forgotten The years he shared has been full of joy. The memories he made will go on and on. We haven't stopped crying since you went away, and we've asked God time and time why couldn't you stay. You lit up many lives, your hopes, and dreams. You've opened everyone's eyes to see what it all means. So now that you're gone how can we forget; Because you were the greatest out of all we have met. Much Love NEPHEW!
