I am an English man living and working in Northern Ireland with my Irish Catholic wife. I logged onto this site to read about the Jeycee story,then I spotted the homoside section and was curious,I read about this young man losing his life and relised that bad things happen to everyday people all the time! it is so tragic and pointless!! overhere in N.I. a family man was kicked to death in the street recently in Coleraine because of his religion!! why cant people see the impact and effect their actions have on others? It is so easy to pull a trigger, but how easy is it to live with yourself afterwards? My thoughts are with Jamal`s family and friends at this very difficult time.
