So sorry to hear of such 2 hard working men, such terrible cold hearted people out there who have no life of their own and out to destroy. May your families heal and may your souls Rest In Peace, it was not your time to go someone made it your time. I hope your KILLER OR KILLERS will be caught they need to be hung somewhere on a tree in the wilderness no where to be found. REST IN PEACE, YOU ARE IN HEAVEN...........

Baldwin hills, that use to be a nice place to live back in the 70s, what happened? i'm from Compton and we use to sit out in cars in front of the house all the time and did not have to worry about some body coming along just shooting you just because, this is crazy, i say to any body who have kids and everybody else, get the hell out of there, i left there why? because i was afraid and i had teenagers and i did not wont them to end up like this, i already lost a family member the same way to the streets of Compton and why. i stayed many years after he was murdered and it got no better, i think in the year of 1989 i went to fifty funerals in six months, and i said to my self this is it. i will not attend another one in a while and i didn't. i have family there and i use to visit but know i dont go because just riding in a car down the street you dont feel safe at all so i just stay away and it's sad, even though i dont live there any more i'm willing to do what ever it takes to help solve the problem of gang violence, we need to stand up against the gangs in southern California. back in the day's i new tookie and jermal and it wasn't about this but then it became violent and it all went to hell, nobody can say why or what happened, but this right here ain't real. these fools are just killing innocent people. now what i realy dont understand; blacks and Latinos can not get along; why? there skin color ain't that far from are. any way's Scott grant i didnt know you or your friend aric lexing. i pray to god that whom ever did this to you are caught soon because i see the pain in both your mothers and other mothers face, the same pain i saw in my mother and my sisters face, an it's a pain that last for ever,

Damn...Damn...Scott was a security guard at Manual Arts H.S. back when i was in school, i think he had started just when i was leaving around 1997 or 98...he was a big teddy bear always cool and respectful even when you were acting up or ditching class...its sad to see that another person i new in my teen years has been taken from this earth...I think i had last saw him probably 2 -3 years ago and he was asking how i was...such a genuinely nice dude and to die in such a messed up and senseless way...on top of the fact that he died with a friend who had "gotten out" of the hood, I mean my God the other guy had his masters degree. What is going on in this city...i know the 'jungles" its somewhere u dont go unless u live there and even then its way too dangerous. Scott I'm really sorry to hear that you have been taken from this world, you defintely did not deservse such a pointless death. Once again another associate and another purely decent guy snatched from us...May God Bless you Scott
