What an elegant lady she is. So heartbreaking she has to endure this pain.

RIP Ahmaud 💔😪 He didn't deserve to encounter these belligerent, bowl-cut-having neanderthals. I hope his family can find more peace now that all 3 of them have been arrested. His family is so strong to be enduring this loss in public! Especially since there are many malignant tumors of society who have taken it upon themselves to defend the murderers. But with every negative person, there are hundreds who support their wonderful family 🧡🧡 I hope they can get the justice they deserve!

These men need to be in prison for life. The kid was just looking inside the shell of a house. It wasn’t a home that was closed up. Poor kid didn’t even take anything. Even if he did that’s not a reason to kill. Those two men were looking to kill.

We can rest a little easier knowing three cold blooded murderers are in jail and will never pollute our society again.

First I am a human and a mother. Ahmaud is a son to us of all color. as moms feel so much sadness that his life was cut short by hate. We must stand beside one another to stop this hate. We are one race please people one race.

Listening to his mother is truly herself with such composure at such an horrendous

[nunyabeeswax]

Robbed??? It appears your thug son was a robber. How stupid of her to raise a son to attack people when he's supposedly innocent. You failed as a mother. Where's his father????

[silverpairaducks]

This case will come down to "malice a nd forethought ". I lived in Brunswick and am torn on this...Cameraman is the key to the truth.

"I want him to be known for his life."
Oh, no, you don't.
There is nothing to be proud of.
He died like he lived.

[spirit]

So why did she call the cops on him in 2018??

[nosirx]

It isn't as if he was a productive, law abiding member of society.

[leeleebee]

The protesting is major, i'm starting to realise it now.🌺
I feel bad because it may be overshadowing Ahmaud's death. I'm not sure. x
Every life is important.💟

I feel so sad for the victim and the family specially to the mother..there is no words to describe the pain of loosing a child. I pray that this kind of discrimination will be over. We are all equally created. Color of skin doesn't mean one is superior. This just laws of human that install to one's mind.. it's wrong.
Condolences to the family 💔🙏
