  1. That's Tejus for ya. Never sending their best. If only the victim believed in god… oh snap!

  2. skip the trial, automatic death sentence to be carried out immediately

  3. Well. That’s Texas. Texas needs more guns and no gun laws. That’s Texas. Imagine Sandy Hook.

  4. Thoughts & Prayers for the victims involved. 😊

  5. Give that boy the needle and be done with it. Anything less won’t do

  6. I hope they have the death penalty.

  7. Is this a great country shame on these politicians

  8. This is so sad. I hope his family and friends can cope with this loss. We never know when our time is up. God bless everyone.

  9. #banguns.. make America peaceful again

  10. It’s a good thing there are plenty of guns in Texas 🙄

  11. The report said black male
    That's not a black male

  12. It's so horrible to hear this sad news. Rest in peace Smith and condolences to his family and horned frogs family. 😢

  13. Two young men gone. It is misdirected hate.

  14. My heart goes out to this young man’s family ❤❤❤

  15. they let violent people out too soon, the system is horrible

  16. Looks like another minority preying on white people

  17. Once less religion pusher in the world. Not a huge loss.

  18. If I were the father, I would find out who let that lowlife scum out of jail because obviously it was some crooked judge who caused this tragedy. Judges are the real killers. You have someone in jail for aggravated robbery and you decide to let them out on bail 🤡 broken system

  19. Out on probation… sounds familiar.

  20. Someone needs to find out who that judge was who thought it was a good idea to let this pos out of jail. Rip young man.

  21. That guy should have never been out this wouldn't of happened rip to the young man. Hope that person gets life

  22. Apparently at random. Interesting choice of words. This guy was angry and it was personal. Could there have been a confrontation before where the larger man caused this guy to lose face? Not saying that is reason to die, this guy is scum, just seems there is more to this story than an altar boy being shot outside a bar late at night.

  23. There should be NO second chances for violent criminals!!
