Damn, thats messed up. Her cousin just got killed last week, now this. Their family must be going thru a hell of a time right now. What they need is some quiet time right now. Fuck all the hangin' out, that just brings problems. Ya'll all need some chill time so this stuff will cool down. Time to reflect on the 2 young lives extinguished forever....ain't no coming back for them. Focus on how to keep your other family alive and out of situations like this.

To all Tongan youth please just calm the fuck down and show where and why you are here. You are all Tongan and only and I mean only one thing that everyone respect who you are is to be Tongan, not be black not to be mexican but to be Tongan. Be proud of who you are.( A Fucken Tongan)

A tragedy for sure. Leaving Tonga probably seemed like a good bet at the time and now their daughter lays dead. Was it worth the risk?

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO ALL THE FAMILIES INVOLVED IN THIS TRAGEDY!!! I AM A SAMOAN WOMAN WHO IS JUST DISAPPOINTED WITH THE VIOLENCE GOING ON WITH OUR YOUTH...BEING POLY NOT JUST SAMOAN OR TONGAN WE WERE ALL RAISED TO RESPECT EACHOTHER AS A BROTHER OR A SISTER!!! WITH THIS BIG RIVALRY BETWEEN THE SAMOANS AND TONGANS IT'S JUST SAD TO SEE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS DYING ON THE STREET FOR NOTHING!!! WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROUD OF WHO WE ARE AND SUPPOSED TO LOVE EACHOTHER AND LOOK OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER, NOT KILL EACHOTHER FOR STUPID THINGS...NOW WITH ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IS IT REALLY WORTH ALL THE PAIN YOUR PARENTS AND FAMILY ARE GOING THRU?? JUST THINK ABOUT IT, FORGIVE DON'T RETALIATE!!! GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THE REST...

Please stop killing Tongans. You have a proud tradition of independence that is mocked when you bait one another into senseless combat. 18 years of love erased by 18 seconds of rage. 60 years contribution to society, 60 years in the bosom of your family all flushed away for a strut. Your lineage cut. Mothers given the ultimate sadness. Proud of yourself?
Life is precious. Killing is easy. Be a man. Protect life.

they all deserve it. it's nonsense from the beginning to end. hopefully their loved ones and youngsters learn that being mad for nothing gets nowhere. i feel more sorry for the families then the ones that died... because they brought it upon themselves. sorry to sound like an asssshole, but it's my opinion. so fuccck what u heard!!
