Okay he's a gang banger. Does that mean he deserves to die over a fight that was over. Everything died down and he was about to leave. So now what does that mean? Does it mean that he still gets no sympathy just because he was an alleged gang banger?

first off i went to school with michael and how i knew him he wasnt a gang banger but someone who loved to have fun, and just because he threw up a stupid hand sign doesnt mean it was an ok to kill him no one deserves to die, especially over some dumb "gang" bull...and another thing what real gang you know is chillin out in effin Allentown anyway?

Its Kind of funny how the kid in Kutztown that got killed is remembered by being a good kid and all but when a black boy gets killed now all you can say is that well he was a gang banger and it doesn't matter if he died he just made the club look bad anyway.

black or white, gang banger or not, it IS a shame the kid died. that changes lives forever, families, friends, etc. BUT, IF, you belong to a gang, this is ROUTINE stuff, and to be EXPECTED right????? when WE fought as kids, or even teens, it was ONE on ONE, and it was over when one gave up, and it NEVER ended with someone getting stomped and kicked by cowardly idiots one the loser was on the ground. gangs carry guns, because they are afraid to fight one on one. get the best of someone in a gang? his boys will just shoot you right?

Are you serious? Either you are retarded or you quit school after second grade. I've never seen so much improper word usage and incorrect spelling in a post.

It sounded then like the jerk got what he deserved and you should wise up before you end up facing the same fate.

The only 'being' who should place judgement on someone is God.
I was one of the closest people to Michael. I have done my research, and Michael Antuan Douglas was not affiliated with a gang. Whether or not he was hanging with the wrong crowd has yet to be determined, however, he was not in a gang. The "hand gesture" Mr. Douglas supposedly waved in the air was not witnessed by a credible source. Who knows, that person could have been on the 'other side' of the fight that night, and could very well have known who the shooter was as well! And, If he was so watchful of what Mr. Douglas was doing that night, I'm sure he or she saw who shot him as well. The Allentown police department is who people should be worried about. They obviously have not and are not doing there duty to bring justice where it is needed. After 7 months, and no valuable leads? No one pin pointed as a possible suspect??? With most likely at least 50 eye witnesses on the scene of the crime, and still no answers? I know someone saw what happened that night. Or atleast who Mr. Douglas was fighting in the club. Usually when a fight breaks out there is a crowd of people watching. And were the security questioned? I'm sure they got a really good look at everyone when they threw them all out of the nightclub. These are things that everyone should be worried about. Not why it happened. Just for the face value of the situation. There was a homicide on September 14, 2007 with a killer still at large!
