This is so sad out of all 12 comments that I've read so far not including mine I have read only a few positive comments. This is so sad how hardly nobody has any heart towards human life anymore. What if that was one of your family members that got hurt like that or even worse knock on wood. And people are posting negative comments like this. You don't know the whole story of the situation that caused this to happen. FutureMan83 it's not funny and everyone that didn't give a condolence comment towards my sister n law and nephew n law you need to find God and go to church. And that can happen to anybody's son,daughter,mother father or cousin. Because I value life to the utmost and nobody deserves what happened to him. Some people need to grow up and value human life no matter what age bracket they fall under. Everybody deserves to live life from the time they are born into the world until there senior years. Value Life God Bless Everyone

The projects would all make great open air park spaces if they were torn down and all the animals who live there shipped off to some remote part of the country or else simply walked westward to live in tents or cardboard houses.
