Yep that's the same two. And now the families want us to pay for their criminals deaths.... GTFOH with that gofundme crap. Go fund yourself FOR ONCE

It is sad to see young people lose their lives over someone else's mistakes. But it angers me when people blames the innocent victims for a crime that they did not commit. How many people have life insurance on their own children? Not very many. Why, cause we assume that tragedy such as this would never happen to "my child(ren)". Sadly enough it does.

I just wish people would read the whole story, before they start putting their two cents in.

Judge not, unless ye be judged also. Now I shall step off my soapbox. Thank you.
