  1. They both look like trouble. Takes two to tangle, simple as that. Your not so tough when your dead. All of these tough guys run around the AV thinking they are something special, your not, your just one bad decision from the grave. Either enjoy life and understand what patience and forgiveness is, or pay the ultimate price.

    • You don’t know s*** he was protecting his sister from her boyfriend and then end up dying over it so I’d hate to be you on judgement day God bless

  3. rest in peace
    So I guess your sister’s boyfriend’s already hit the border to try to get back to Mexico
