has anyone seen this guy’s facebook page? WTF I can understand if he was your friend and you want 2 leave a msg saying RIP but to say things like “When you become to good to be on this crazy world”, “God takes the best,R.I.P” or “I know ur in heaven” that’s being ridiculous. Regardless of anything his ex could have done to motivate him to shoot her in the face twice none of these statements could possibly be true about this guy. If I was friends with a guy like this hell even if he were my brother I could never play off the fact that he murdered someone in cold blood like it was nothing the way these people are.
to wueva you are if you dnt know anything abt a situation or know the person then I suggest you keep ur sly comments to urself yes I do know & acknowledge evry1 has they own opinions bt no mata wat it mayb & to wueva nor you nor I know wat really went dwn until then it 2 souls lost wen you go thru it or have sum1 close to you go thru dis then I suggest you get on this page & comment like the way you did & since you haven’t please dnt judge another as 2 families has lost their kids – No1 knows what ppl feel until they themselves go thru it – ppl speculate & draw their own conclusions even the media does it but we dnt judge as its not our place to judge any1 – Its a shock to all
However wonderful he was to the people that didnt get shot by him,is insignificant.That girl did not deserve to die by his hands.He took a life and his own life,theres no heaven for him and his family as muslims know that for a fact.How would each of these friends of his react if this girl was their sister,will they still “understand” why he couldnt just be a man and leave? I feel no mercy for him,lets hope God will.
Murdering pig. no matter how bad a relationship gets, there is always the option to walk away. This thing thought his uniform and gun made him above the law. That poor girl was only 25.
This is such sick to hear!Regardless of the situation and regardless of whatever the argument was about, why kill?? Durban has lost 2 souls. The shooter may have been a “darling” at home and yes, who are we to judge, but how can anyone condone what he has done?? This is beyond sad and sickening. @pissedoff no one is drawing conclusions. We’re going by what police have reported. Next time you want to tell someone off on a public platform, I suggest you learn how to type
