I feel terrible for this family because there has been so many murders and most of the murders have been from teenagers. This does not invole in what we have studied so far.

I feel that this a very serios thing and it shouldn't be happening in Canada. Especially for such young kids that don't deserve it.

This terrible murder shows that we are not the greatest country in the world no matter how high we rank on the Human Developement Index. We still have our downfalls because no one is perfect. There are still people in Canda that are wrong doers and we hav to do our best to prevent things like these from happening.

This should not be happening youth killing youth. He called the police they should have been there in less than a minute. In a developed country like Canada people should not get brutaly beaten to death. No country is ever perfect even if the stats show we are number 4 in the world. Thing like this should be able to be prevented.

i think that this is very tragic because one in a million chances that a person would get stabbed. I wish that there were no violence. If there were no vilence back then life would have been beter for us now.
