Three women are dead after gunfire erupted at an East St. Louis gas station around 9:30 Saturday night.

[hey]

this is pretty messed up and my heart goes out to the families. but i must say that their first names are funny as shit.

[LAB]

If u were close to them u would feel the same way if someone said something as ignorant as that. So if that means that I have a problem then so be it..

[donnell mays]

this is really sad

[donnell mays]

this is really sad, what's the world coming too....

[Quinn Gordon]

I think that you are a sad human being....you are to deperate for attention that you would say something so idiotic! First of all, you must be a racist white person...and from one white person to another....I am ashamed to be white after seeing your comment! Didn't you know that white folks are on welfare too!!! IDIOT!

[ray]

was not on welfare im mean they were good people smart too

[MISS INDEPENDENT BW]

The behavior that happen last night had nothing to do with welfare so how does your statement support what your talking about, Oh I forgot you all think whatever you all say we are suppose to believe it or its true. What your saying at this time is pointless

This incident has nothing to do with skin color. Murder is murder. Whether it is black on black, white on white, or green on blue it does not matter. I would be very ignorant of people to down grade another race when they find out what color the criminal is. Just as this was a black on black crime whites also commit crimes against one another and so do other races. Did we all for get about the young lady who was ran down by her own father? We as human being need to get over all of the racial issues a realize we are living in our last days. The healing has to begin people.

All this bad mouthing is just making the problem worse. People shooting off their mouths with out any idea what they are talking about. All you are doing is creating more hatred. It is know wonder we have some much killing, assaulting in this day and age. What we need is more compassion and concern for each other. Parents need to start caring about what their children are doing. Why are they staying out all hours of the night?? Where are they getting the money for drugs and guns. I don't think blacks or whites care any more. If you don't know what your talking about then keep your mouth shut and your thoughts to your self.

I am so sad to hear about those brave women that saved her babies i know they are now with god, and as far as some of the comments please be careful what you say as you will be judged on judgment day and it will not be pretty. God bless those babies they are now without a mother

[st chuck]

I commend the mother for saving her children, they will know that they are alive because she was unselfish

[Laurie]

I am so disgusted with the way so many people are behaving. Why is everyone being this way 3 innocent women were killed does that not click with anyone, my god what is wrong with you people ! I'm so sorry that you cannot see past the fact that they were black or where they lived, that doesn't mean they were on welfare or stupid or anything else. Where i live it is a melting pot of people of all races and I love them all. My stepfather is Hispanic, my best friend is Indian, my grand baby is Black. I am white and my other best friend is Asian. We don't care we are all the same. Love one another and stop the nonsense .

It was a horrific crime that occured Satuday night in East St. Louis IL. I just want people that crime dose not come in colors it every in where in the Caucassion and the African American neighbors. There is no value of life anymore among some people and that it is very sad indeed.
Something has to be done to stop the killings in neighborhoods where our children run and play as well their mothers and fathers shop at neighboring facilities in our communities and neighborhoods. It really needs to stop...All of the love and compassion has left our neighbohoods they are just loveless neighborhoods and communities.
We must keep the families in our prayers and that God loves these families and give them the strenght to go on. God bless their families as well as the children who where left behind without mothers My heart aches for the families.

Attempting to find your mistakes would be pointless. The mistake was when your father laid with your mother and conceived YOU. There is no point in entertaining a racial debate. The truth of the matter is that ignorance speaks for itself, and you are the very epitome of it!!! Does it shock you that a young black woman from ESL can read, write, spell, has a masters degree, and probably makes more money than you? You and the others who waste their time with such negative comments are not worth the air you breathe.
To my fellow E. St. Louisans, this is a time for prayer. I am deeply saddened by this event. I am totally disgusted by the young man's disregard for life. My prayer is that he repents for his wrong doings. The truth is that we reap what we sow. Just like those who displayed their racial ignorance here on this post will never benefit from their lack of intelligence, the young man who committed this dispicable act will pay for his crime.
Continue to pray for the families of the young ladies who lost their lives. Pray for the children who will now grow up without a mother and a father. Also pray for the young man who did this. We don't know what his mind state was. All we know is that he needs help.
Be Blessed,

Thankyou!!
