i am the fifteen year old boy now sixteen saying that it was not just bad for the butts family... this affected my life majorly because what alot of people didnt know is that we did get out of the car to see if he was alright, seeing a motionless body after he came through the window wasnt the best thing in the world for us to see. it was almost like reaction to get in the car and drive off even though it wasnt right. now one of my best friends is in jail and i have images in my head that will never go away and sometimes i just want to say sorry a million times to the butts family but cant because im afraid they will kill me. and i can not blame them cause i had my dad recently pass away and i know how it can hurt. i wanted to let the butts family know that i saw the whole thing and i was there and most importantly we did not plan it out to do anything like that that night. and it was not because he was black because we had more friends that were colored than u can count... it was a brutal thing and i dont know how im going to tell my daughter that was actually recently borin in october... it was a scary morning wen john butts was killed because i thought i would never see my daughter and never live a regular teenage life again...

It was an AWFUL accident & I feel horrible for the Butts family..but the fact that the media is calling it a hate crime is absurd! JUST bc the boy was white & the victim was black. Whit Darby is NO racist & YES he made a mistake that will forever affect his life. He should have stopped but keep in mind he is a young kid & I'm sure he was scared to death. The media will make even the best people look like the devil.. but you should keep both families in your prayers and STOP trying to be God & judge w/out knowing anything about Darby or what REALLY happened. God is the only one who has that right & he is a very forgiving God.

"Wide set eyes, Long, sloping nozzle." "In Midtown....surely they will be serving fruit & nuts!" "if it quacks like a duck, call a spade a spade" "Wide-set, beady eyes; Long sloping nozzle; ears like Obamma's.....typical profile...." "I have never understood why most minorities don't know how to swim, although I think I have read somewhere where thier bones are denser, thus making the body less buoyant." "Will they have an "x" at the spot on the balcony where King enjoyed his post-coital cigarette???" "did anyone else notice that "Tamika's" nozzle is wider than her mouth???" ALL ARE QUOTES FROM THE "NON-RACIST" FRAYSERRBOI. I SUPPOSE ADOLF HITLER WAS NO RACIST EITHER.

FRAYSERBOI...you must be related to these "Innocent" boys. 3 teenagers out on an EARLY Sunday morning demaging things!!! They have the 17 yr old car with demage headlights,windsheild, hood and blood on it. They "INNOCENT".....give me a break. WHY did this Darby kid go across to the OTHER lane and hit that man???? AGAIN ALL 3 should have been heading to CHURCH instead of demaging one and running an INNOCENT MAN OVER!!!! Why did Darby leave the scene?? hide his car?? OH because he's INNOCENT!! YES, both families are hurting. But you have to realize that the BUTTS family lost their loved because a teenager thought it would be OK to CROSS the lane and hit that old man for NO reason. We all have our OWN OPINION on things. But we realize we are NOT the judge/jury! AND YES I'M STILL GOING TO BE A PROUD MOM OF 2 AND A WIFE. HAVE A GREAT DAY b/c I sure am:)

So proud we have such educated, enlightened & inspiring citizens such as "proudmomof2" to serve as judge, jury & executioner....LOL..would someone PLEASE clue her into the concept of innocent until proven guilty? Where is the compassion for these possibly totally innocent youths?
