its pretty frustrating to hear about all these things that go on in life. i guess the nature of people will never change with all the emotions and anger that come into play. see the only problem now is that everyone else want to go out and kill these guys that did it to him and just continue on the cycle that we know as life. without forgiveness life as we know will never change. greed and anger will always seem to win.

Sorry to hear about your friend

I also had some bad experiance at redondo beach blvd as well, it was like 3 years ago night time the car I was driving died all of the sudden in the middle of the road.. it was near Husler casino.. 3 very nice latino mans help me push the car to a near by gas station and they left after i thank them.. i was waiting for help at the gas station and i have all kind of people/homeless/workers etc coming to me ask for $$$.. i didn't really give them anything and ask them to leave me alone.... and then there is this nice Afican american man drove up in a beat up brown corolla offer me help and I insist no but he try to help to get the car started anyways.. well it didn't work and I told him thanks and i thought that was it.. WRONG.. he then said give me some money and I'm like what??? he ask me for like 50 buck.. I said I don't have it.... his face goes from smile to mad and he said he didn't do all that work for nothing.. I was like ****** and got scare( he was a big and I didn't know if he is going to pull out a gun on me)... I took out my wallet and give him everything I have and even give him all the coins in my pocket... then he drove off... I was pretty much left at the gas station without a penny in my pocket and a dead GTR

I agree...the cycle never ends...they say "and eye for an eye" and "revenge is sweet"...but at the end of the day it doesn't resolve anything...emotions always get in the way of tactful thinking and doing whats right...however, it just gets me angry that someone got killed b/c some damn haters thought someone else had a nice car, "so im just gonna jack his car, shoot the guy in the head, and his gf." Ok...take his car or whatever...its a material thing and can be replaced...its a whole different ballgame when you kill the guy and shoot his gf for his car...damn dude, i'd get the whole Yakuza mafia after these guys.

I am not sure the purpose of listing the parts (did read most of the posts tho), but I was going to ask you to do so before because maybe these items will turn out on eBay or local Swap Meet. If so, maybe our CL community including the authority can perhaps use it as a lead to crack the case. In any event, keep us posted.

Although I don't totally agree with the idea of revenge or vengeance, I must say I don't totally agree with "forgiving" either. Forgiveness alone will never solve society's problems. It does have to be aided by punishment, but punishment that is not cruel and unusual. There will always be selfish people who will do unthinkable acts to get what they want. When they catch the killer, I don't wish a horrible death upon him, but I think either the death penalty or life in prison w/o the possibility of parole would be fitting. And since this happened in CA, you're probably looking at lethal injection.

yeah, life just ends all of a sudden sometimes. I learned a lot from this exerience. Not only just take off if someone pulls a gun and tells you to get out, but to thank and express your love/friendship to your love ones. I wish I could go back in time and tell him I thank him for everything he's done for me, and I would'nt change a thing about our friendship. But he was the type to understand how I felt mutually, so I know that he understood how I felt for him. Sounds really mushy and all, but it's true.

Not mushy at all. It takes a strong man to admit and express his emotions. This is all a part of the healing process. Any updates on the status of your friend's girlfriend? Is she out of the hospital yet?

Yeah she is out. She is staying at my place right now. I have to wake up at 4:45am every morning for work, and I stay up with her until 3am, just keeping her company or until she sleeps. I've known her for over 10 yrs too and she's like a sister to me. Man, Im tired...i wanna leave work already...
