HE CAN EASILY KILL THREE PEOPLE, ITS CALLED A GLOCK AND CLIP FULL OF 12 BULLETS, AINT THAT HARD TO DO. SHE TRIPPIN

If he loved his wife so much why did she say when the murders first happen that he had 2-3 other girlfriends.

No mother wants to believe that their son would do something like this. So, I can understand her denial. But even Stevie Wonder can see that this dude is guilty. Instead of flapping her chops, Della Reese’s twin needs to invest in dentures and a gym membership.

In jail, her son will be known as Loose-Booty Willy!

Cann someone get this young man a lawyer instead of letting his mother ramble on and on and making things worst for him. I don’t know who did this, but it is a tragic story and I hope thsoe involved are brought to justice.

She’s obviously in denial but I don’t think he did it alone.

“I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don’t you know where he is? And why doesn’t the father show up to talk to this boy?”

- Bill “alleged sellout” Cosby

IF THEY WHERE ALL FAMILY LIKE WILLIAM MOTHER SAID, SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON T.V. CRYING BECAUSE HER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE DEAD. WILLIAM WLL BE TREATED LIKE A BIT** IN PRISON TRUST…

She is doing just about what any mother would do, maintain her son’s innocence. She knows deep down that he was capable of doing this. How could he kill someone? Guns kill people everyday. She needs to keep her ass off YouTube and at least show some respect to the Hudson family. They lost a mohter, a brother and a little nephew.

You know, I dont know whether he is guilty or not. But I DO know one thing, she is completely ruining his chances of having a fair trial by speaking to the media about all of these details. Regardless of how down she is for her son, she is helping to seal his fate with this one. I know she wants to help, but her ignorence is really hurtining. I would’nt want to be the one sorting through all this drama.

@the_one I hear you.

Gosh I do not know what to make of this, however who murdered the boy must of had his finger prints and DNA all over him. So if it was not William there has to be someone else, and if there isnt someone else, then it has to be William.

Nevertheless, this is how these people are, we saw the messages Jennifer was saying after the murders took place. Why wouldn’t a mother who brought a murdering thug stipulate or ramble the same type of rubbish we have been hearing from these people since the killings?

I once knew of a family who knew of a male rapist in their family, his mother and aunties where prepared to lie and swear and blind on oath for the creep……a mother lying out of her backside for her thug is nothing new, and if anything it is an indication to why we have so many murdering criminal thugs in our society, Welfare single parent mothers who never controlled their bastard Ferrel children in the first place.

“I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve?

Nice.Perfect correlation.

I like this video.now thats how real black momas be snappin!

@ Face of an Angel

And we would never be able to use it because as usual corny white folks would buy out the store trying to be “down”.
note: These jokes would work if white people weren’t the world’s most notoriuos swagger jackers lmao

I am from da CHI and I work in an office with Law Enforcement officers and believe me when I tell you that people DO NOT know all that is going on behind the scenes. William has a lawyer. The CPD charged William to try to make him talk because they dont think he did it either or at least not alone. Now think people, everyone is so quick to say William did it over domestic malice, but TRUST if he did it, he wouldnt have been “a person of interest” so long. They not lettin him walk because they know it is more to the story and TRUST me when I say they are looking at Julia’s behavior as well. Also, people are forgetting how dangerous and violent the drug world is. I lived a block away from the Hudson’s in Englewood and it is very dangerous when you F’N around with drug dealers money. They dont care if you are a woman, child or cripple. You are dead if you dont do what is expected of you. At first glance everyone was saying this was a hit. Like my mama always said, your first instinct is usually the right one. I’m just sayin……..read between the lines. This case and evidence fit too much into a neat little package for me.

“We dont believe you! You need more peeeople!!!”

I wonder how she will feel when the case is wrapping up and all the evidence points to him, will she still be in denial then? Of course no mother wants to think her son is guilty, but what happened to thinking about the people killed? You can go see your son in prison, Jennifer won’t see her family until the day the Lord calls her home. Such a sad sad case.

“This is retarded, This is retarded!Y’all ain’t finna do my son like dat!” -Michelle Davis Balfour

I actually believe her. Usually when the DA’s case has holes in it, they don’t indict anyone for a long time. It does appear that they couldn’t pin anything on him because the evidence didn’t really match up. I actually think Julia Hudson is the killer. Even if it was him, he had help.

His mom needs to shut the hell up and respect the dead!

Ermy erm,
I do not believe anyone can be arrested without some sort of DNA in an aggresive multi murder case in the year 2008!

There must be DNA
Footprints
Phone calls
Tyre prints
Fingerprints

and yes the reaction of Jennifer and William AFTER the murder took place. Do I believe he was alone in his CRIME NOPE, do I believe it all went wrong YEP. The three of them were murdered because they could be IDENTIFIED…that was why the boy was took and murdered….and this means the boy KNEW his murderer.

I must say that I feel her pain. Nobody wants to believe that there child can do something like that. As a christan I have to be fair to the situation. It is very sad what happened but something about the whole situation isn’t right. I truly believe in innocent until proven guilty. I dont believe the case against her son is concrete. Especially with reading that Jason and William were involved in drug activity. There are so many angles to this that I can’t assume that William commited the crime. I do believe that his mother should stay away from the press and let his lawyer speak for him. I do pray that the killer is found and given the highest penalty. May God bless everyone souls who have been affected by this tragedy.

Ermy Erm (Chitown til it go DOWN!) I totally agree with you.

Julia told the police that William made threats against her family before and the day of the murders, he was supposedly angry because Julia had a new boyfriend, I find that funny being that he has a pregnant girlfriend but trying to stop her from seeing someone else.

William Balfour is just another statistic of a uneducated black male with no home guidence, his father is currently in jail for murder as well and now Williamn’s child will now grow up without a father so the cycle continues.

Jet just because you are a Christian doesnt mean you have to be a fool, and lets remember God hates fools and idiots that buy into any old crap, especially crap that is used in his name. So wisen up!

Steffany it says it all, doesnt it AMEN TO THAT!

Hope, he gets raped in prison…frequently. Murderer…

Tracey, I am no fool but until they show CONCRETE evidence that he did it then that is what I will believe. Not gossip, hearsay or assumtions.

And by all means don’t get me wrong if he did do it he should get everything he deserves.

she sounds delusional….she keeps harping on how much smaller her son is and how could he possibly kill 3 people….my answer to that is the show “48 hours” titled Lester Street…..one guy killed 4 adults and 3 kids (?)…how, you ask??? with a gun!!!!it doesn’t take rocket science….he got the brother fist…the mother came running out and he got her …then he took the little boy….although I do happen to agree with her that he didn’t do the entire crime (including cover up) by himself….I feel that he committed the murders himself but had someone drive him and the boy somewhere ….there’s also the question of his car showing up oustide of a school…his mother would like to think that he is being persecuted because of his past howeverhe constantly threatened the welfare of Julia and the family and that was recent….

thats just sad his mom should b ashamed of herself i understand defending ur child but if the tables were turned and some one murdered ur family would u feel the same or would u want justice america has its flaws in the justice system but if us black people should not break the law he mom is a poor excuse for a mother and he is a poor azz excuse for a black male

I say we send all these so called hardcore monkeys to africa and let them see what REAL HARDCORE is!

Im tired of these ass wipes ruining the image of the good african people of america. AND JK…yes i generalise because thats the scientific form of experience. Only time you meet someone who doesnt fit the normal bill we call that exceptional because they are the exception.

Many mothers in these “ghetto” communities do a poor assed job of raising their child and they evolve into an animal. You always hear of a dog biting or mauling someone and the owner of tha dog will fight to the death defending that dog. Humans are no different…If she feels he is so innocent throw her filthy ass in jail with him.

Yet JET you are happy to be taken in by Ermy erms statement, how don’t you know that isnt a load of bullcrap gossip, hearsay and a made up story.

We are in 2008, it is impossble to commit an aggressive murder like this and not leave some DNA, fingerprints, tyre prints or some sort of telephone call. Of course more people are involved, but that boy was murdered because he must have been able to identify the murderer….plain and simple!

Again, just because you are a Christian doesnt mean you have to act like Mr Flanders!

And to those that feel he didnt do it? Give him life anyway for genocide! I know his nigger ass did something to be punished for. Most the crimes these monsters commit they never get caught for.

I HOPE THEY DEFINITELY GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. I DO BELIEVE THERE’S MORE TO THIS STORY AND THERE’S ANOTHER PERSON INVOLVED. THAT LITTLE BOY WAS TAKEN HOSTAGE, WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST SHOOT HIM ON THE SPOT? MAYBE THEY WANTED TO TAKE HIM AT RANSOM FOR A MONEY OPPORTUNITY, BUT HE SAW WHO THEY WERE AND RECOGNIZED THEM SO THEY KNEW HE WOULD TELL. THERE’S A LOT OF LOOPHOLES, BUT I’M SURE THEY WILL FIND THE CLUES.

I dont know what the Hell to think on this topic so i wont think anything……

There is no such thing as supposed DNA! It is there or it is not, and if they cannot produce it in court then we would know.

I am not being taken by anyone statement. I just agree with them and have felt this way since the murders. The truth will come out and when it does whether it is William or someone else, so be it. I pray they repent to God and pray for forgiveness cause in the end what God thinks is the only thing that matters.

Idis

you sound just as delusional as William Balfour’s mother…since you refer to the “ghetto” mothers what about the white mothers in the trailer parks across America guzzling budweiser as they watch their kids destroy property, curse them out and smoke at the age of 10…hhmmmmm…is that the exception or the rule….for trailer parks….

his mom is insane just like her bastard azz son these black mothers need to listen to JUDGE MATHIS and raise thier sons up the right way were is his father of course he is a bastrd raise by a uneducated mom who probaly was on welfare these single black moms need to follw these steps to prevent their kids from being failures and victims of the streets
1. GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL
2. GRADUATE COLLEGE
3. GET A CAREER
4. MOVE INTO THE SUBURBS
5. SEND YOUR KIDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOL
6. AND LASTLY FOR YOUR KIDS REPEAT STEPS 1-6
P.S come on black women stop sprending ur legs raising bastards up to be criminals get married first and follow these steps before u start producing american terrorist

The police know it was William, that is why he is banged up.

We know what the criminal world is like, the hard criminals would have connections inside and outside prisons, they can have control over many aspects of this investigation.

Hell for all we know William’s family could also be in danger if he talks.

William murdered this family and others were involved, it is just a matter of WHO and we should allow the police to go on and do their jobs.

I do believe just like his mom that he did not do this alone. If he did do this, he did not do this alone. You have to think about it…I mean honestly, as big as Jennifer’s brother was compared to his size…there is no way he could have drug him up some steps and put him upstairs in his room. But, all in all…what is done in the dark, comes to light…so someone will slip up and be stupid and end up telling on themselves or releasing some information. It will all come out soon…

…the comment of how one man can kill three people is foolish…it happens everyday….

That being said…guilty or not, his mother is not helping his case with these rants…they need to put a gag order on her…

IMO, he did not act alone…and we all know that police have the tendency of moving to fast to please the public.

SUPPOSED DNA meaning YES his DNA was there. It was Jason’s gun, so Jason’s prints are there TOO.

Goodness. Exclamation points too? I’m not getting riled up about this. I know what I know and you know what you’ve heard. We dont have all the pieces, neither do the police. Only the killer(s) do. Therefore I only speak on what PO’s have said to be fact. I just dont feel like ANYONE should be condemned to hell before everything is said and done.

IF she loved her son, she would shut up and let the Defense attorney do all the talking..

WORD!!! @sickofitt

Idis

you are entitle to your opinion however you do know you can’t make generalized statements about Black mothers without knowing all Black mothers in the U.S., right? maybe in your environment you’re not privy to positive Black Female role models…however where I’m from, they are not the exception but the rule…yes there are some Black Mothers that need to step it up so that when they decide to procreate they are focused on raising productive citizens

you can get married and have a great man so you think and he turns on you… don’t ever think you will know what your getting because it’s not gonna happen. I do think we as woman and not just black woman but woman need to be more careful whow we date. white woman get killed daily by there husbands because he’s cheating and wants her ins money. like I said you never know what a man is gonna turn out to be you just gotta pray or be single.

@ nwmasssmedia.com. That is really sad to hear about all those people.

not all black mothers do a poor job of raising kids. i am a 21 year old female college student that live in chicago yea its rough out there but i was taught survival skills. i do not have any kids and i work and go to school full time at Chicago State i was raised in singe parent home. my mother raised 3 kids by herself without our fathers neither one of has any criminal backgrounds. so its all about setting a concrete structure on raising your kids because there is no book on how to raise kids but apparently she let her son run the streets and do what he wanted.

All I can say is Black Fathers take care of your families, you are the missing link to holding our families together…Im not saying a woman cannot raise a man alone, but a man or stable father figure is needed to teach that lil boy how to be a man. A man shows a lil girl how a real man should treat a woman…People cannot simply place the blame on the black woman, because life has so many twists an turns that is makes life 3 times as hard for the black woman. Harmony is needed in our homes, when a woman is in labor, who takes care of the house, when the woman is going through hormonal changes, who does she have in her corner to be by her side…The perils in the black American community is the lack of the Black Father period…Black Men are afraid as hell to have children these days because most never had a father figure to exemplify a real man…Young Black men these days are caught up in facade that is not real life…Marterialism, paper chasing and selfishness…Black Men if you have a child and you are not with the mother you can still be in that childs life…tell those lil girls you love them, and if no man has ever told them that at least they heard it from their daddies…Black Men teach your lil boy no excuses, believe in yourself, and take care of home….If you are man enough to lay down wit that woman you you should be prepared to raise a child…It takes two to tango…If you do not want any children then you dont need to be having sex period…..

I don’t know what to think about this anymore. I’m not buying the “jealous” motive the prosecution is trying to throw out there, though.

The mama sounds crazy as hell, but she could have point about the other girlfriend. If she had a pending drug case, she has motive to pin this all on William. Besides, the van with Julian’s body and the gun were both found near her house.

Jason was involved in shadiness.

Where’s Julia? Why has she been so quiet?

Why did it take the prosecutors so long to charge him? Did they not have enough evidence? Is the evidence they have now solid or BS just to hold him up?

Mama might be denial, but at the same time, she might really know some things to at least not allow her son to go down alone. Its a shame because if he didn’t pull the trigger, he’s going to take the wrap for it all because they’re poor, and don’t have the money to defend him.

@nwmassmedia.com

Are you referring to the Nailah Franklin case? The last I read, the defendant opted for self-representation in court. It was a very sad case and one of the few times I’ve seen the disappearance of a black woman covered in the national media.

Idis on certain points I agree, in our culture it is now cool to be a baby mamma, it seems as if young women aspire to be just that. Marriage is almost non-existent. When I was in college at pre-dominately white school, those white kids got married in a heartbeat, even if it did not work out at least they tried. In the black community it seems as if no one gets married anymore. However, how can we expect our youth to value marriage, when examples are damn near non-existent. As for the rappers who portray this image, it is not their fault. My husband and I always believe that we are our kids role-model, my parents are our kids role-model, not the television. That’s the problem in our community we expect rappers, singers, video-vixens, whatever is on the television, whatever is on the radio to raise our kids. We should be the ones.

As for black people commiting more crime, this may be true, but hey ever race commits crimes, the media and yes the media cause that is where we get the news, statics, and other information do not publicize these crimes. The only time crimes are spoken about in other races, is when a white women goes missing and is found dead, and everybody knows that the husband conducted the murder.

@sydney

yes I am you see how that happen and she wasn’t his woman they was just cutting so men are crazy these days you have to be careful.

I think the police know William didn’t do it , they just using the conviction to scare him into saying who did cus he knows. The problem is anyone that will shot up a family and child will come after him and his family if he says something. He needs to get them to put his famliy under witness protection and move them out of Chi town and then tell it all.

yeah he’s in jail now maybe him and william are there togther swaping man I didn’t do it stories. I think he did it and I think he had help. I live here and I know how these man will do you in, just like the case they feel like they can do what they wanna but don’t want you to do it.

@nemassmedia.com

I just read that the defendant, Reginald Potts, decided to be represented by a public defender, rather than represent himself. I had previously read that he faces the death penalty.

Yes, women have to be very careful. The Washington Post recently ran a series on murders of pregnant women by their boyfriends and other significant others, and I read a few stories about women being set on fire by men from whom they were estranged.

let me tell you how drug dealers move in the chi they wouldn’t have left any room for somebody to snitch at all period. if this was a drug killing william would have been shot to period. the drug dealers here are grimmy, they work with the police so there’s no way they would have left room for anyone to be able to rat it’s the street code here in the chi you guys heard over the summer all the killings that where taking place people families were getting taken out.. they wouldn’t leave him alive to be able to tell anything they would have killed him and his girlfriend.

FYI, the Sun-Times ran this in an article on Reginald Potts:

Reginald Potts Jr., the 30-year-old Chicago man whose name has been linked to the Chicago Police Department’s investigation into the death of Nailah Franklin, knows his life is messy.

His criminal past includes car theft and escaping from FBI custody. He’s separated from his wife and two children, and has a 4-month-old daughter with another woman. Both women have been granted orders of protection for run-ins revolving around child visitation.

Nailah Franklin, who was last seen on Sept. 16 and was found in a Calumet Park forest preserve on Sept. 27. Reginald Potts (inset) says he saw Franklin off and on for over a year.

At the same time, he was living the single life.

@ nwmasssmedia.com Baby girl you need to move to another state! That is really sad. What I am getting from your statement is the women in Chicago need to either stay away from men or shoot first ask questions last. WOW that’s really crazy.

I was raised by a single mother but my mother did not allow us to use that as an excuse to be a F*ck up or be someone’s punching bag. We all know right from wrong. Just because you are raising children on your own does not give you a pass to slack on what is important, morals, values, education, self respect, self discipline etc… This world is becoming a f’d up place, no one cares about the next person. We can sit around and point fingers laying the blame on each other, but their has to come a time when we stop blaming and stand up and take responsibilty for our own. If you give birth to a child that is your responsibility to raise it not the state or the goverment. It was your choice from the begining til the end, now you must take responsibilty and raise this child to be a upstanding person in society. Their is always a 50% chance that you will end up a single parent, but that is something you should think about when you are in the heat of the moment or making a choice on keeping the baby.

@ sickofitt…it sounds hella funny when you say this line…

That is really sad. What I am getting from your statement is the women in Chicago need to either stay away from men or shoot first ask questions last. WOW that’s really crazy.

BUT it is getting like that. I think most of us women here have experienced the obsessive ex. I had an ex I had to put a restraining order on. He was nuts though, he was hitting me. Its scary out here. People is F’d up in the head. Especially some men who feel they are “entitled” to any woman they want and can cheat and beat them. Its just plain crazy indeed.

I just don’t think he was that smart to carry out this horrific act by himself.

I agree Lush….I cried and cried when this happened man. I just cried. I was praying they found lil Julian alive. Hoping and praying. But he was dead a few blocks from where I work. I was baffled. Just couldnt rap my brain around how someone could kill a child with 2 bullets to the head. So tragic. I dont know how Jen will function after this. This is str8 up breakdown stuff.

I cant believe his mother said that.
What do you mean he couldnt kill 3 people with a gun? Are you stupid? In a close quarter?
Let us let the case unfold, then we will be able to tel who the killer is. I think he did it

Idis

instead of complaining about the Black Man and what he does and doesn’t do…try raising our Black sons the way they should be raised…it’s easy to complain about something….however where are your solutions Idis???? ridiculous…first it’s all Black Mothers are this…then its all Black Men are that…do you part, if you are Black by working on a solution and then come back to me

the issue I have with Balfour…(if he is guilty which I happen to believe he is to a certain degree) is the fact that he refuses to say ANYTHING!!!!..If I’m innocent and I was no where near the scene of the crime and I hadn’t just threatened someone and their family then I would have been yelling that from the top of the jail house…at that point it would simply be the word of the current girlfriend…however the whole situation was suspect with him in the middle…that’s why he’s not talking…either he did it by himself or received help and going by street rule which is no snitching on his accomplices

IT IS REALLY SAD TO SEE HOW BLACK AMERICANS GIVE BLACK PEOPLE A BAD NAME. I AM FROM THE CARIBBEAN AND MOST CARIBBEAN PEOPLE ARE PRODUCTIVE HARD WORKING , AMBITIOUS PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU ALL HAVE. I AM ESPECIALLY APPALLED AT AMOUNT OF FATHERS WHO DONT TAKE CARE OF THIER CHILDREN. LAZY ASS, EXPECTING THE WOMEN TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. WHERE ON EARTH DID THIS MENTALITY COME FROM? I KNOW OF ONE BLACK AMERICAN MAN WHO TOLD HIS FAMILY THAT HE IS HAPPY TO HAVE HIS WIFE PAYING THE BILLS SO HE DOESNT HAVE TO. COME ON! GET UP OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS!

@ sickofitt

I was preaching the same thing earlier in the week. Once the community stopped caring about its children, this just went further and further down hill from there.

The used to be a time where you got into trouble 2 X’s, ’cause if Ms. Reese down the street seen you doing something you weren’t supposed to be doing you caught a lash from her AND then your parents after she told them. But some Hot-Headed mothers didn’t like that – they didn’t like their children being treated “that way”.

Oh, well, now they getting their ass beat by the police. If it were my child – I’d rather go back to the days of old – We were made to treat eachother with R E S P E C T / M O R A L E S

These kids just don’t have that in them anymore and now they don’t have respect for themselves, let alone anybody else.

I really hope the police arrested the right person… and they just didn’t say… come here n***er we know u did it… just to close the case. There r alot of innocent people (black men) sitting in jail right now for that excact same reason. Here is my opinion on the situation…. I think he may of had something to do with the mother and brother… but lil julian??? Something just don’t seem right with that and yes Julia was acting to damn strange for my liking. Well if he is the monster of these murders may his ass ( and whoever else was involved or whoever really did it) suffer until their dying day.

Well lets see though Charm. It is a very high profiled case, and the chicago police have a lot of black police officers, that have no reason to lie. They had to address the media and spotlight before accusing him. This kid is getting a good bono lawyer for spotlight, that is going to want and win this case fareal.

I’m thoroughly convinced you’re PWT “POOR WHITE TRASH”.

This is to anonymous3-the fire
Idis is not complaining she/he is speaking a fact. I for one am a black woman and i do my part in my community I have kids and i raise them not the T.V. The solution is to become more involved in your childs life. even if you are not with your baby’s mom or whatever you can still be a good father to your child. Another solution would be to stop the cycle of living in the hood not doing anything with your life. This starts with the adults. Kids see and do what the adults do, everyone always says that kids look up to those on TV however this is not true. My kids love hannah montana and are infactuated whenever a video comes on however I am their role model. they mimmick what I do not whats on TV. I sit back and listen to them play pretend and my daughter is acting just like me not hannah montana not a video vixan and then of course if there is no parent around to look up to they will start looking up to the closest person around them that gives them attention this means gangs,drug dealers and so forth. So what the black community needs to start doing is STOP complaining get off your ass and do something about it. Complaining gets you no where.

i don’t like hannah montana she is 15 with a 20 year old boyfriend but it’s okay cuz she white, i rather my child watch dora and boots

I don’t believe William is totally innocent… he has something to do with this, but he didn’t act alone. Momma needs to shut up though before something damaging to her son slips out.

The Jennifer Moral of this tragedy… if you’re able to leave the hood, then leave the hoodlums behind also (even if that includes your sister and brother)! Praying for ya Jen.

She is an idiot! A bullet can put down any weight range. She says she doesn’t wish this on any other mother, then in the same breathe she says find someone else’s son to do this to. Stupid, ignorant nica!!

All of this maddness with our black men goes back to home, they’re all products of low education, unplanned parenthood, and absent black fathers, and it starts with the screwed up structure layed out by their parents..This is the outcome of ignorant, hood ass black women and men making children that neither is financially, or intellectually capable of rasing, then the children grow up in poverty with no positive role models enforcing education, birth control, and responsibility..Young girls end being baby making walfare recipients like mom and young boys end up in the prison system and being dead beat fathers just like their fathers.

And what’s even more messed up is we have a 50% high school dropout rate among African Americans, so what does this say for the futer of our young people if half of them are uneducated and illerate, they’re too damn stupid and uneducated to even make the connection between low education and poverty, then they walk around angry blaming everyone else for their problems..SAD.

She needs to keep her mouth shut!!! She may be making it worst for her son!

This brother better come up with an alibi or he is going down. Don’t really matter who did it.

nwmasssmedia.com
you are correct hannah montana is 15 with a 20 year old boyfriend however on her show she is simply a kid. My girls dont know how to read or look at any gossip/news sites with this being said they have no idea that she has a 20 year old boyfriend. It doesnt matter is she is white/black mexican, green or yellow the show is what my girls watch not her personal life. They also love Dora and Boots and the backyardigans.

If he was there that morning and he been sayin he would harm them . if it walks like a duck and quacks weell… did he do it alone – nope he recruited some help. Does she still have drug case? NO but that still dont change the fact. I feel bad for his momma because she cant speak and cant see clearly she needs to get with Casey Anthonys mother and figure out where they went wrong

I couldn’t even sit through a whole minute of the clip. As someone who lost family members through murder her comments sincerly piss me off. While she’s going on and on about how they can’t railroad her son because of his record and all that nonsense… at least she can still see her son in the flesh. All that’s left for Jennifer and her family are memories and cemetary plots.

Today is my nephew’s birthday and he was killed three years ago this month and the words of injustice and unfairness that William’s mother is spouting is the same crap we heard in the courtroom.

What she needs to realize is her son is still alive and if she so choose she can still go and see him. Maybe in time I can understand her rantings but now at this moment I just can’t wrap my head around it.

I’d be doing the same thing too if that was my son! Bump dat!

Only God knows the truth. Whoever is responsible will be punished. Let the innocent go free and the wrath of God be thrust upon the guilty.

End of story.

JK,

Dont be silly. If anyone else mentions white people I will scream.

It that was my son, I would be on tv whopping his azz for getting involved in some BS like this. He would get his azz beat just because his name crossed the lips of an officer. Then after I smacked him up, I would ask him what happened? If I didn’t like the response I would beat his azz again. But, then again, my son would not be caught up in this kind of bs. I don’t believe in supporting your child after they have committed a crime. If my son is arrested I would probably be their the first time. I would talk with him and find out what happened to make him go down this route and would get all the resources available to make sure it doesn’t happen again. After the second arrest. He’s on his own. I am changing my name and moving. Don’t call me or write me because it is obvious you don’t respect me by going out in the world disrespecting others.

And it’s crazy that she’s bringing up this girl’s drug case, but wants to dance around questions about her sons criminal record.

This lady is a disgrace and SHE’s the one who failed her child. Now she’s paying for it, and unfortunately, Jennifer is paying for it too by losing 3 family members because of this trash.

I agree 100% with Ermy Erm (Chitown til it go DOWN!)and JK. Julia Hudson is definitely suspect!

Family, I don’t know what to make of this either. All I know is that all types of ill shyte is happening these days…parents are killing their children…children killing their parents…morals and values are close to being extinct, so the end must be near. I know the Lord is shakin his head at this mess we call a world.

Balfour’s mother is in deep denial as we all know. She has to know that she failed her son during his upbringing because of the man that he has become. I guess all the crimes he committed was negated when he married into the Hudson family and his mother thought that this might mean a new life for him and possibly for her.

I DO believe that he had something MAJOR to do with this. If it was stacks that he was after, it would not have benefited him to leave anyone alive because he would have been found and his life would have been over with the rest of it being spent in Prison. I DON’T believe that he worked alone. I’m sure he had a homeboy working with him, but if there was a trigger pulled, it had to be him. How convenient for Julia not to be home for what would befall her family, but why would she leave her son? That’s what throws me completely off. Again from the perp’s standpoint, it would not have been to their advantage to keep him alive. Balfour and Co. would have been identified as soon as Julian was safe. Julian knew his killer, and that’s why his life was taken. I know she’s J-Hud’s sister, but I would cut off all contact with her. If she ever found out that she had anything to do with this…

On a side note, from cnn(dot)com:

– O.J. Simpson to do prison time in Las Vegas armed robbery case.

Redd@11:38>>>Hallejulah and thank you! You wrapped that up brilliantly.

Some bad ass lawyer is going to step in and take this high profile case for free and get William off, Who would kill a whole family over Julia Hudson fat greasy ass. They sold drugs out that house and it came back on them. Im with the mother keep talking to the media put all it out there.

I hope they really investigate and not just trying to “close the case”

@pm

____________________________________________________________

some people can’t handle that real talk that you spittin.

Speaking of Balfour’s mother, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell, a sister, wrote this in a column a few months ago:

“The ex-husband has a criminal background that includes attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possession of a stolen vehicle. He was paroled in 2006 after serving seven years in prison.

It goes without saying that he’s innocent until proven guilty.

But any reasonable person would understand why police went looking for him.

Yet, the first words out of his mother’s mouth were: “My son had nothing to do with this,” and “I’m very upset with police because they are refusing to let me see my son,” said Michele Davis Balfour.

Upset with police? Where was this mother when her son was carjacking?

After serving seven years behind bars, her son isn’t some choir boy, but this mother is acting as though her son is being unfairly profiled.

I’m not the only one who is appalled by the “he-couldn’t-have-done-it” defense that relatives of felons often make.

During my vacation, Kenny, a longtime reader, left me a voice mail in which he complained about this very issue — and that was before the Hudson murders.

“I was hoping one day that you could do a column about the mothers and families of these convicts who always lament that their son with a rap sheets is really a sweet boy, a good boy and loving boy,” he said.

Kenny said he got to thinking about this after reading about the store clerk in Waukegan who killed Brandon Starks, a 20-year-old thief who robbed the clerk at gunpoint.

“I don’t excuse what he did,” said the thief’s mother, Veda Starks, who also described her son as a “sweet person” who was trying to straighten out his life.

What is so sweet about an adult child who goes out and robs a store in less than a month after getting out of prison?

Such a child isn’t sweet. He’s a screw-up.

I’m a mother and I understand how horrifying it must be to be in this situation.

But if your son is running around with a gun, it is likely he will die by a gun.”

Co-sign @ tha_wright_one

murderer or not he’s inoncent until proven guilty and there is such a thing as a setup by someone that knows his history, i’m not saying he’s inoncent but all the stuff his mother said he was denied of is just wrong, and his mother is right why didn’t his girlfriend come forward the moment he was arrested she came forward a couple of days later. something just don’t seem right with this whole case.hell i would say he did it if that’s the only one there to blame, that’s the way i see it

@pm

“Some bad ass lawyer is going to step in and take this high profile case for free and get William off, Who would kill a whole family over Julia Hudson fat greasy ass.”

I don’t see what Julia Hudson’s physical appearance has to do with this, particularly when an obviously highly disturbed individual(s) committed this heinous crime. Looks have little to do with the motivation behind the thinking of a criminal psychopath/sociopath.

@ WE HAVE TO DO BETTER &Idis

It’s not JUST the woman’s responsibilty to wrap it up! The women and the MEN should BOTH be held accountable for their actions. Women can not make babies by themselves. Men too, know what will happen if they blast off in a woman.

While I wholeheartedly agree with your 6 step system, if the fundamentals of parenting, guidance and eaxample are not present, the steps for many, maybe viewed as unattainable. FATHERS AND MOTHERS must CO-PARENT. If you have never had the example, how do you know? There is a will and a drive in many to do better, but many don’t know how.

INSPIRE, EDUCATE YOUR COMMUNITIES AND LEAD BY EXAMPLE. EACH ONE TEACH ONE!

@ sydney.. ya your right I was wrong for that part.

By the way, thank you Redd for your post!

*clapping*

@pm

No problem — I’ll add that the entire crime is unfathomable, but it takes a particularly sick individual to kill a child.

@ Kigali….

I’m sorry…you lost me after the first sentence….the point I’m trying to make is this….It bugs me when people make blanket statements such as “Black Women do this and Black Men do that”…..and so on and so forth…totally belittling a race of people becuase of some bad apples…I am married and am raising a Black son (born 4 years after marriage- not out of wedlock) and refuse to let you,Kigali and people like Idis make comments that don’t uplift the race but seem bent on stats and B.S. which do nothing but bring a mfer down….save all those negative comments for yourself and the life you live because I don’t live that negative life…..oh and contrary to what you might believe White people commit crimes every day of the week…drugs, murder, theft..oh and yes they do have children out of wedlock…have multiple baby mamas and don’t marry any of them and cheat on their spouses….but let you tell it, its Black People that seem to have cornered the market on the above offenses….IDIOTS!!

it takes two to tango….it’s easy to put all the blame on the woman because she carries the baby and is suppose to possess the maternal instinct thing…however I intend to teach my son the real deal….if he choses to have sex then he needs to either abstain or bring his own bag of condoms and use 3 at a time….because yes, there are some scandalous women out there, scheming to get pregnant however she can’t make a baby alone…

@ Sydney

Using prior bad acts as motive, and “profiling” as you put it are both unconstitutional.

475lbs can’t take bullets? she 300lbs & moving her mouth like she 75lbs

@Videophone*Star

Are you referring to the quotes I posted from Mary Mitchell, a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times?

I haven’t made any statements regarding Balfour’s guilt or innocence. I personally wouldn’t have chosen to date someone with his background, but the determination of his guilt is in the hands of the legal system.

I wonder, just wonder how many other murders in this neighborhood follow this same method of operation?

@ blaq

You would be surprised. 5 ppl were just killed like that in the SAME neighborhood a few weeks before in their own HOUSE over drugs and NO, no one was caught and NO you didnt hear about it on the news

They were all killed execution style. Shot in the head

what a world

Ta hell with that punk, shoot that boy in the head like he did those people.

LOL, no problem, Videophone*Star.

By the way, Mary Mitchell did write in her latest column that she thinks the case against Balfour has holes and there may be some sloppy police work involved. Who knows. . .

I applaud his mom for have strong faith in her son not doing this…….

but at this juncture, the best way for her to be supportive is to visit him in jail and be at every hearing.

her rantings in the media, reflects her emotional state if he has a good lawyer…….

but really she should be quiet already

@ViDeOpHoNe*StAr .. lol they need Rodert a Alex from Criminal Intent on this case.

I still think Beyonce did it

@ Idis
Our culture has harsh criticism, we hear it all the time, there are news specials about it and the ranting of many more than Bill Cosby, how’s that working out? We are expected to play on a field that is not level, and therefore we fought for programs like affirmitive action, and since the demolition of that program that allowed our president and his wife to attend college, black college admission has decreased drastically, but the jail population has increased. The whole pull yourself up by your bootstraps theory is real nice, except when you are talking to people who don’t have boots. Do you realize Dave Chappelle is a comedy show, and he actually support reparations.

If Balfour committed that crime it’s because he wanted to. Not because his mother. She didn’t teach him to shoot people as far as we know. He has no excuse.

Stop babying black men!

You live by the gun you DIE by the gun and too many times in the process innocent people are the ones who are doing the dying. Its one thing to shoot a person in their sleep, its another to shoot a mother/grandmother in her home but you are a true bytch to look a child in their eyes and pull that trigger. Hell hath no fury that will make this right. Mama needs to stop talking and let the system run its course. She’s making us look terrible! If you were really down for your son the first time he came home eyes red, pants low, smelling like colt she should have smacked his a$$. If William had a good lawyer that wouldnt be happening. My question for him is brother what were you doing with your life that you could even be caught up in some mess like this. Do right…mind your own…and your character would have never been called into question. Wait another quest I love Jennifer like the next person but why is it that on the news when they talk about this tragedy that they show her pics not the victims? Would CPD be working this hard for any of us?

@blaq
The problem isn’t your race. It is your culture.
I am the same race as Balfour, but my culture is entirely different. The Urban American culture is to blame. the culture that Kigali and Idis decry.
That is the root of this evil.

She’s just saying what I’ve said all along…they have a trumped up case on that boy…if they didn’t they’d have charged him right away…they don’t have a case or a suspect and since he’s poor and black they’re gonna lay it on him….it’s happened all through the history of African-Americans AND it happens to poor whites too…no money….no defense…

@Doc
What is the difference in your culture and that of the Black American?

Probably nothing if the black american has two parents married for 45 years. Three children who grew up and graduated from University. never had a run in with the law. Are married and have no children out of wedlock. I guess you would say we were sell outs like Bill Cosby.

I beleive it. dont put him in Jail yet. Theres other parrts to this story. If the police could offer proper protection maybe we could find out

@ Doc
The people who call Bill Cosby a sell out are other educated professionals, he later apologized for his comments and realized it was not the place to vent his frustrations. I don’t think Cosby is a sell out, a hypocrite but not a sell out, considering with all of his education, money, and family values he still raised a drug addict, and a daughter who sells stilleto’s for infants (hmmmph). i wonder where you are from do they have drug addicts and unwed mothers? Were your parents poor, or middle class?

@blaq

Everything you say is true.

As black people we have to succeed in spite of it all. When I was a kid my dad told me that I had to be twice as good as a white man to get the same job as him. So that’s what we did we worked twice as hard to become twice as good. Life ain’t fair but you gotta deal with it. Sometimes causes can become an excuse.

@blaq

If you consider that my mother sewed hockey gloves for $1.15 an hour and went to night school to become a nurse and my dad worked at the post office I would say we started out as poor immigrants and became middle class

Ok, a little too much info about where things were at the time of the murder……..It is going to be hard for a lawyer and jury to aquitt him of this crime because too much detail has already been tainted.

“I’m no lawyer but it seems obvious”

“The problem isn’t your race. It is your culture………..The Urban American culture is to blame….”

@ Doc

Actually it is our LACK of culture that is to blame. When your true culture (ultimately, your identity) is stolen it leaves a whole race of people without sense of self in a nation that does not have their best interests at heart as it is. What happens? A whole race of people take on a language, religion, values (i.e. sense of family that you allude to), etc. that are not ours. We were left to either conform and sell a piece of your soul to do so or not conform and become rebellious to the point of self destruction. Thus a sub-culture was born (with conflicts within that “culture”). None of this happens with a people that have true sense of self. We are the only people in the world that have been disconnected from who we are the way we have and most of our problems stem from that reality.

@illuminate

We were slaves too…

@Syklops

You really think giving black people money will solve problems and change anything? Haha. That’s sad.

Change comes with a change in mentality and behaviour. Seeing yourself as a victim never helped anybody. If you keep doing the same thing how can you expect a different outcome.

Black people need to stop feeling sorry for themselves. The way you are approaching Bill Cosby’s criticism is what’s wrong. What he says hurts you so much because it’s true. Ignoring what we are doing to ourselves is not black power! Haha. That’s black stupidity. What’s wrong with giving criticism if it’s true? The truth is what some of these people need to hear.

By the way. I don’t think Oprah needs to proof anything to you. She is the most positive example of a black woman I know. She has done more than she has to, for black people in America. The houses she build for the New Orleans victim’s, supporting Barack at the beginning of the election. The list is endless. What have you done?

Its so obvious that his mother is very upset and probably isnt the best spokesperson for her son but personally i dont beleive that this young man done this.Its called a conscious he has one. Just because he is a criminal dont mean he is always gonna be a criminal.

@Doc,

And what these females dont get is that they will never be apart of the middle class unless they already come from middle class families, which most black people arent, or if they have a spouse.

They dont know that having children unmarried plunges them and keeps them in poverty. Ever wonder why homosexuals have so much discrestionary income? Because they have no children.

These black females dont get that their children keep them apart of the class of people who will remain apart of the working poor. Children are expensive. Putting off haivng them will increase your chances of having less of them and having them when you are financially ready. But you cant tell a black female that. She is super baby momma and everyone must honor and revere her for it.

Sorry, I will not.

@ Doc

Pardon me Brotha……I didn’t catch your nationality (I can get lazy about scrolling up sometimes). Not all nations that had slaves seperated them from their sense of selves the way they did in America. My question for you is this: In your history were your ancestors allowed to keep their language, customs, religion, etc. For example, the French treated their slaves in America (Louisiana Territory) totally different than the colonists on the east coast. The slaves were allowed to keep most of the culture they were brought over here with. Their basic way of life was left in tact and they were allowed “freedoms” that many eastern slaves were not. The slave masters in the 13 colonies were taught (Willie Lynch Papers) to systematically remove all sense of identity from their slaves in order to make them completely dependant on them. There is not any way there is not a trickle down effect from this action. Even Lynch himself predicted the effect of the practices they applied to “breaking in” a slave would be passed down from generation to generation.

Now my disclaimer is this…..this is NOT an excuse. I agree with your insight in principle, but to correct a problem you must first find the root cause. Only then can you begin to fix what is broken. Once you know the root cause then their can be no more excuses. From that point on it takes action and in this case I believe it has to start with education. Not the propoganda they are feeding our children in the public school system but a REAL education. Maybe then future generations can grow with a sense of who they are because without that basic knowledge there is no way to collectively be a proud productive people.

Kigali…all well said

@ Kigali

Poverty is not that scary when you are already poor. Tell me do you know anyone who listened to your prescriptions for success, and closed their legs, got a degree, a husband, and lived happily ever after? Really how many Ankles have your reformed?

I love my boys, and i do everything in my power to ensure that they are happy and well adjusted individuals. When they do wrong, they get their butts spanked and i explain why they were spanked, and why what they did was not acceptable, and that no matter what I will love them..if you want your garden to bloom you have to nurture and cultivate it, not just plant the seeds. if my son ever did something like this, i’d go on loving him regardless, but i wouldn’t be saying anything to anyone. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DROPPING THE BALL WITH YOUR SON, MS. BALFOUR!!!

@blaq,

I dont know any ankles in my family. Thankfully. The pattern in my family for the women was/is school, marriage, kids. When it didnt happen in that order, once in my family, it was a shameful shameful day. This is why my family, coming to his country as immigrants, not speaking english, not even a generation went by and we were in the middle class and now some of us are upper middle class.

hmmm..
i STiLL D0NT KN0W BOUT THiS ONE…

@ syklops,

Thank you for the Oprah conspiracy theory!

The truth is that no matter what Oprah’s motives are at least other people are benefiting from it. And she sends a positive message. A lot of people get inspired to do good. Apparently you didn’t get that message. Your loss.

@illuminate truth
You have made a number of vital points.

When you have a culture it does dictate your behavior from your name,language,how you treat your elders and people around you,expectations in terms of life choices and even the food you eat these are normally passed down to your children and grand children.

@ Kigali

The other cultures you describe still maintained sense of self. If you don’t realize the importance of this, then what can I say to you? You will continue to keep your blinders on. I don’t use it as a crutch or excuse but to say that the descendants of American slaves are not in a unique situation is ridiculous. You compare us to immigrants? Totally different. Italians, Germans, Russians, etc. all immigrated here and all have a sense of who they are as a people. If future generations of immigrants have no idea of their roots, well that is self inflicted. I can’t trace my roots past my great grandparents simply because it was systematically made so that it is almost impossible. I don’t carry my true last name….it belongs to the slave masters of my ancestors. Where is the correlation with that reality and an immigrant’s?

@ Kigali

You used the key word……”pattern”. Ours was destroyed and replaced. Yours was brought over here in tact. You should be proud of your family’s accomplishments but your path was different than ours. Again, I don’t make excuses but to really address our issues you really have to acknowledge there is an underlying reason why we are in this condition that ails us. That is why you will hear “slave mentality” used to describe a Black American that is spiritually and mentaly loss. They still carry the same mentality that was bred into them from the days of slavery. And since you think that there is no uniqueness in the American slave, riddle me this: Find another situation where the slave was kept captive for over 400 years AND then “intergrated” into the slave owners society.

There is going to be a president call Barack Obama.Even though his father was a deadbeat he gave him his name and Obama did not change it to Barry Jones which would have been so easy and more convinient(especially during the election period).Alhough he did not have a man in his life he knew that he had a well educated father and so did not think that there was no reason why he could not achieve the same.
He also did not have to visit his village in Kenya but he did
This is culturei.e knowing who you are and where you come from

I don’t know where all this hate is coming from but more black women would be married if men wouldn’t be cheaters and liars. a woman’s job is not to be abused and cheated on and stick out a marriage because she has a working men. a man that cheats is not a good man in my eyes I don’t care if you never stolen a penny or commited a crime you still aint shyt. if you guys stepped up and stop messing around and loved your mate than it wouldn’t be so many single parent homes but staying with a man/women for kids does them no good. unhappy parents ruin there kids. so if men stop running around trying to bang every girl they can and kept there word and knew how to be faithful than it would not be baby momma’s because you will still be with your mate.

will anyone speak on the fact that JENNIFER AND JULIA both took out an insurance policy out on mom, bro and lil man months before this?

could julia have told flex about it?

I am overwhelmed by the racist comments left after this news report and to the monkey who made the initial comment on this site you are full of ignorance and incompetence. In addition, I work with criminal defendants everyday and mothers tend to be enablers to their children and I think that that is what is going on in this case. How can you have a prior attempted murder case and then receive a new murder indictment——–and he was on parole. I ain’t sayin’ he did it, but if he did this is how it would go….

Why is it that the black female is the one that breaks up the the united states of America?

I’m with Joey B!

I LOVE A TRUE BLACK MAMA FROM THE SOUTH SIDE!

I mean can you blame her regardless if my son has a rap sheet ANY mother would do that same. I feel her pain. I mean even if he did it she may REALLY believe he did not because she speaks with so much conviction and pain regardless of how non-intellectual she may sound.

It’s a sad case for both sides of the family.

Ony God can judge that one!

@ blaq (wassup?)

Kigali has no sense of the CIA and DEA systematically flooding the “urban” streets of America with guns and drugs (i.e. “War on Drugs”). She apparently has no idea of the money the government spends to flood Black communities with law enforcement to insure these same drugs and guns will lead to arrests. Maybe she hasn’t heard of the laws that are systematically put in place to guarantee disproportionate long prison terms after these arrests. She can’t realize that classism breeds “haves” and “have nots” and the greater gap between the two, the more likely that the “have nots” will turn to alternative measures in order to “have”. All this is a systematic continuation of Willie Lynch. Our inablility to break the bonds that adhere us to this sad reality is driven by the fact we have no sense of who we are or the origin of our issues that plague us. We are too busy waiting for the same system that helped get us to this point come help us to get out of it (i.e. slave mentality). Well, I guess if we get an education, a job and stop having sex all will be well….idk.

Why is it that the black female is the one that breaks up the family in the united states of America?

@Kigali’

I know you didnt just use Dead Presidents as a valid example…SMH

@ Kigali

Black women AND men have work to do on self improvement. Dethroning MY Black Queen is not the answer. There are mentalities in place that have to be destroyed but putting ALL blame on the Black female is blatantly asenine. Not all single Black mothers are in that situation by choice (sorry, I can’t use Hollywood movies as an example…..not saying it couldn’t happen but for every case like that I can show you a single mother that brought her children up as respectable and productive individuals). For every single Black mother there is a missing father. Honestly, I take more issue with that. Where are they at? Are you saying that my gender is so weak that a woman can forecfully keep him from his child? Of course not. Any man that (I shouldn’t say “any”, there are always exceptions) is not involved in his childs life needs to check himself…..not the mother. If I am not caring for my offspring than maybe instead of her not opening my legs (after all, in most cases SHE carries the burden of raising the child) maybe I should keep my penis in my pants. In the case of a single mother it seems to me she is the one holding up her end of the deal but if the “sperm donor” is not present in the child’s life then HE is the one screwing up. If the woman enables this, it still does not excuse the man from BEING a man. You are giving the males an easy out. That is the last thing we need.

Brings me to this. I asked what you thought about single fathers. I’m one, and for this reason I relate to single mothers on another level most men can’t. My situation may be different but our resposibilities to our children remain the same. Of course it is always the best case scenario to have a mother and father in the same household raising children but when that is not the case a strong individual (woman or man) can make it happen successfully. I know this intimately.

Wassup Redd…….enjoyed your posts further up too Brah. Mad respect for that.

Sidenote and off topic: Sorry my boys came down there and ruined Sean Taylor Day. Honestly I thought the raw emotion of that day would carry them cats but…….next year Brah.

@Kigali and @Blaq

Sorry I had to go get my son from the daycare.

Blaq do you really think the slaves in the Carribean were having fun while the American slaves had it rough…SMH

@Kigali I meant in spite of all the obstacles (whatever they are) we must persevere in order to be successful

@Illuminate

hahahahahahahahha…..I know man! The Skins disappointed me sumn fierce…hahah…They cant never win one for my boy…two years in a row no wins for him……..

@ illuminate

Whassup? what Kigali doesn’t realize is she is doing the work of Willie Lynch. Participating in the smear campaign against black women, first the men now the women, next it will be the childrens fault they just born bad. lol

William Balfour’s lawyer has got to be a public defender. I am positive that he hasn’t spoken to this woman and told her that the info she has should be shared with him and not the media. Unfortunately this will probably go on and on; the lawyer will not ask for a speedy trial and before this case has been to court, he will have had 4-5 continuances and the same amount of different lawyers. Poor thing, that mom is doing the best that she can to put the spin on this case that she is aware of. She thinks her son is innocent; we don’t know if he is innocent and the law says that he is innocent until PROVEN guilty.

William’s mother is doing more harm than good, because she is making to many excuses for the boy.And for the Bastard who said Black mothers don’t know how to raise their black sons is not a black mother, speaking as a black mother whos has raised a lead Army specialist, 4 highschool graduates and never been on welfare or drugs and had no help from the sperm donors.kiss all of our asses. Mary Christmas.

@ Doc

The slaves of the caribean and south america are the same as us. Same slave owners, same ships. Nothing in my post suggest any slaves were having fun. Now for the slaves that populated the America’s. The slave masters knew they could not keep us enslaved by force alone so they implemented ways to break us mentally. I do know in some plantations these tactics were used more aggressively like in mississippi. I tend to believe the fact the caribean and south american slaves were able to preserve some of their african culture these tactics were not used as aggressively in those cultures.

@ Redd

New coach, new system, young QB……yall be alright…..next year. My boys trying to do that repeat thing right now though. Classy move by the skins to put him up in the ring of fame though. Props for that.

@ Blaq

Yeah, Kigali is a piece of work. I can’t understand her stance against Black women and you are right…..she minus well be an government agent. I guess coming over here as an immigrant has clouded her perception of what is real……Dead Presidents as an example of what our problem is? Whoa. Maybe if she didn’t form her opinions based on the idiot box (where we are purposely portrayed as being complete buffoons) she would have a better insight into our struggles.

Be good. Gotta unplug from the matrix (leave work). My daughter is waiting for me to take her to the mall (again). I really need to give her an in depth explanation of this economy crisis thing to her (again). smh.

@blaq

I will give you your point for the moment.Lets say that by 200 years ago the American slave was completely torn down.WTF does that have to do with today. It didn’t stop Martin Luther King. Why can’t the youth strive to be like Dr. King instead of Like Dr. Dre?

@Syklops 562

No need to shout!

Nothing against Dr. Dre
Just an example. I couldn’t think of a Dr. for my similie. I guess I should have said Flavor Flav.

This woman needs to speak proper english. Half of the time I could not understand what she said. If her child did kill the Hudson family shame on her for not raising him up properly. Sad!

@Blaq,

Like I said, I agree with you. Black females are Queens. Allow me to reiterate. Monarchies are tyranical, despotic, you cant say anything against the monarch. you arent entitled to have private property. you are a surf, working the land. That is what it is like being around the black female. But like monarchs of the past, the people got tired of it and got together and put them to the guillotine a la Marie Antoinette.

Black females dont need to be Queens, black men need to be Kings and she needs to be in the back somewhere flipping hot cakes.

I am not an immigrant BTW. First generation American.

@ Kigali – For an obviously educated person you seem to be are missing the big picture. Whatever the faults sre of Black men and/or women, why continue to cut them down on this blog. Your appoach is so harsh that anyone hearing it will shut down instead of considering the merits of your argument. If you want to help then maybe you should consider a different approach. It is not always good to “keep it real” as opposed to keeping it right.

i concur this case is RETARDED, most of these comments are RETARDED .. i for one can admit to being RETARDED [not in the george bush sense] but … still, the fact remains that there was an insurance policy out .. someone spoke on it before but then it was nixed .. let’s figure what that’s about then talk about the possible gang association .. after we’ve exhausted EVERYTHING then can we look at william being jealous of julia [who i think is actually pretty, if she lost a good 140lbs, she would be the prettiest one, smh] anyway, that’s that .. i’m gonna drink and club for them tonight .. i’m stressed, so i know they gotta be stressed – i’m gonna drink a glass of merlot for darnell, some mad dog 20/20 for jason and a quarter water for lil’man

>>>>> HE SHOULD’VE MADE IT EASY ON HIMSELF IF HE WAS INNOCENT, HIS MOTHER SHOULD HAVE HIRED A GOOD DEFENSE LAWYER, HAD THEM PRESENT AT THE ‘POLYGRAPH TEST’, WHICH HE DECLINED TO TAKE, BUT WHY IF HE IS SOOOOOO INNOCENT????????? I DO BELIEVE THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE THEY TOOK TOOOOO LONG TO CHARGE HIM WITH THESE HORRIFIC MURDERS>>>>> I WISH JHUD LUCK, HER LIFE WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SME, GIVEN TIME HER PAIN HOPEFULLY WILL SUBSIDE….. HOPE TO SEE HER BACK ONSTAGE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HER MOM WOULD HAVE WANTED……

@ I just ain’t feelin it – I feel you my brother! Even though Kigali may be right about the Black woman tearing Black men down, the correct response is not to go into “tit for tat” mode. How will we ever hope to correct the relationship between the two?

His approach pretty much promotes a complete separation from each other. I would not want to be in a world where Black men and women have given up on each other. God made us a pair and one will never be whole without the other!

Frankly speaking, I think it has gone beyond just making everyone aware of the Black women’s evil ways; bashing them actually seems to push his buttons.

This woman did a poor job of raising her son. Her rants about her son’s innocence are repulsive.

I think she knows what her son is capable of. She should just stay silent and stop speaking to the media. She appears to be very ignorant.

God save our children.
————————————————–

The first step to saving the children may very well be showing some love for their mothers!

IM BAKC with a gravie just wanted to put yall on notice….

Here we go again with this mess. When the hell is it black men are going to take any responsibility??? Why is it on black women to do every dad gum thing. Then when they fail, all black men do is sit back and point out faults. If black men are so good at choosing and raising kids…WHY AREN’T THEY DOING IT. I agree black women are causing 50 % of this but black men are causing the other 50 %. I guess the only thing the black man is responsible for is impregnating women. No different than an animal…no ability to think whatsoever…just leave all that on the black woman. BLACK MEN HAVE JUST AS MUCH OF AN ABILITY TO THINK AS BLACK WOMEN. The problems that plague the black community could be solved if black women thought more before they tie up with some loser AND black men think before tying up with some loser woman and having kids they can not care for. One of the folks involved in these loose casual encounters need to have some common sense.

What the hell was the mother thinking when she said Jason was 400 pounds and how her son was so small. The last time I checked a man with a gun and bullets can take out anyone.

She need to sit down and stop speaking. His defense lawyer will present all of his evidence to the Judge. She is not pleading his case well at all.

@ blackgirl – I appreciate the fact that you assign blame evenly.

Balfour’s mother has jacked up teeth and an ugly mouth (the way it contorts when she speaks). She also sounds ignorant as hell.

Wassup Purp! I see your new gravie. Universal, spiritual and purple. I see your work….it fits you.

@ Kigali (if you still here)

First off, let me apologize as referring to you as being an immigrant. I misunderstood one of your previous posts. Being a first generation American born citizen still allows for my point to be made: your family came over here with their knowledge of self and their culture in tact. Also, I saw the examples you gave of the anti-Black man posts. I’m sure I could dig up some anti-Black woman posts as well. Point being, putting each other down will get us nowhere. We have to be more mindful about pulling each other up. Like I said before, I can’t “dethrone” my Queen (Black woman)……simply put – I need her.

@ SKYLOPS 562

Cowboys huh? See ya in two weeks. I’ll admit that I’m starting to wonder that if your boys might be for real……an actual threat. They seem like they might be hitting on all cylinders at the right time. Much like my boys did last year. We’ll see in the next two weeks…..see what yall do in Pitt and then against the giants. This will be their test. Obviously I hope they fail it.

@ blackwoman

Well put. 100% cosign. I posted before that for every Black single mother there is a missing Black father. The mother (for good or for bad) raises a child that was made by two. How can you excuse the Black man for not living up to being a man and a father to his child? I don’t know…..maybe we need to start highlighting the Black men and women that ARE taking care of business and stop harping so much on the ones that aren’t. Good post though. Pure logic.

She said he loves his mother-in-law more than his own mother. Dang. Why does her son have a record in the first place?

“Hey we were suppose to be down for the count a long time ago. Still not working.”

@ Blaq

(In my Chris Tucker from Friday voice)
And you know this………..maaaaaaaan.

Great post. I liked the story about the Brothas checking on you after the accident. I felt a sense of pride with that one. Confirms for me that the hype ain’t true…..we still know how to treat each other.

This is why he feels its okay to slaughter a whole family including a child!!!! His mother!!! when u spaoil a child they become horrible irresponible, selfish adults. Shes more angry Than J-hud’s Sister!!! WTF that kinda of emotion should of came from J-huds sister smh this tragic event is ToooOO Sad.

R.I.P

I’m not trying to mean spirited…but you all keep talking about how William’s mother raised him or didn’t raise…but what Julia’s mom(God bless her soul) something apparently was not taught here…considering Julia was attracted to thugs such as William…so everyone in this picture didn’t have what we should consider a good upbringing…because ball was also dropped with Jason. Just think about it. I’m just sorry both families are having to suffer, regardless of how ignorant you all think the mom may sound.

@ Purp

Yeah, keep that one for a minute. I like it. The socks were cool but this one just fits you on many different levels.

The manner in which this woman spoke sounds ignorant, but you cannot disregard everything she said. Though it may appear very likely that Balfour committed the murders, no stone can be left unturned in the investigations. There should be no shadow of doubt in determining him as the murderer. The whole drug selling issue opens another can of worms to consider, in addition to this socalled girlfriend who says she saw Balfour with a gun. Surely her testimony alone won’t be all the evidence used to convict him. Instead of speaking to the press, this lady needs to make sure her son has the appropriate legal representation. What you are seeing here is the venting of her frustration. It is very sad and presents another side to the tragedy of the situation. My prayer is that the truth will be revealed and justice will be served.

Cool ILL….will do

night night ILL, BlAQ and all others I converse with, i want to watch HULU on Xbox and my computers slow so i gotta close my browser….
PeacePeace!

This doesn’t have to do with what William’s mother was stating but Sepia830 “speaks” is the correct spelling. It’s called editors.

I really dont think Julia had anything to do with the killings because his ass would have been ratted her out. Insurance money wouldnt be left to her anyhow I bet J-hud is the beneficiary for the mom and brother if they have insurance he was a dope dealer. What would be her motive? Why would he protect someone he was angry at and wanted to suffer?

I love to see positive and intelligent black men like yourselves. You guys didnt place the blame into one direction and you made some extremely intelligent points. That is exactly what we need.

The prevalent tone amongst too many Black men and women is negativity toward each other. Some women swear that ALL Black men are dogs and various men claim that ALL Black females have mean nasty attitudes. Although these statements are outright lies, these opposing brigades doggedly persuade others to adopt their cynical beliefs. They overwhelmingly convince the masses to accept their false perceptions as irrefutable truths.

They constantly bombard us with proof negative: their love let downs, dud dates, risky relationships, hurts, unplanned pregnancies, child abandonment incidents and failed marriages. In their minds, their bad experience(s) is all the evidence needed to prove that ALL Black men are untrustworthy, unreliable dogs and ALL Black women are bitter, conniving hussies. They fuel this unwinnable war by aggressively publicizing overblown exaggerations, emotionally charged malicious opinions, harmful lies and phantom statistics about the opposite sex.

In this war, the casualties are mounting daily and only a cease-fire will quail the storm. I realize that everyone is not going to buy into this strategy. Some men and women revel in being angry, bitter , vengeful and unforgiving. However, if enough of us agree to this treaty, we will be able to restore Black love to the masses.

We must stop blaming our relationship and marital woes on others . This has become one of our most crippling character traits. We continue to blame our relationship and marital woes on Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome, the Willie Lynch effect and a host of other politically correct cop-outs. Our forefathers lived through the beatings, lynchings, brazen racism, rapes and brutal murders daily. Yet, they held their families together and exemplified Black love.

Our men must rise to the challenge of training our boys to be men. For centuries, it was the charge of the elders in the community to take the boys from the arms of their mothers and mold them into honorable men. Rites of Passage, rigorous mentoring and training were the standard. As time progressed, many men failed to see the significance of this crucial facet of a young boy’s life and some women outright objected to it. Consequently, the men ceased to men train our boys and the cataclysmic genocidal cycle was in full effect.

The new mentors became: single mothers, the hood, pimps, players, ballers, shot callers, rappers, the penal system, juvenile detention centers, hip hop and foster homes. The resultant effect, our young boys lost their way. They enter into adulthood with a subverted view of manhood that leaves them: confused, frustrated, hopeless and glaringly misogynistic. We can positively change their outlook in life, but only if two things happen: (a) our men take the charge of fathering and mentoring boys seriously, and (b) our women wholeheartedly support us. Know this; very little will change in the Black family until we properly deal with this critical issue of raising our boys right

The Black family will experience a renaissance as you become part of the solution. The mathematical equation is simple; strong people build strong relationships, strong relationships build strong families, strong families build strong communities and strong communities build strong nations.

Its that simple black people!!

It’s so easy for all of us to make our commentary on what we believed happened or didn’t happen but at the same time, everyone on thread commenting has one thing in common: we r all on the outside looking in.

A lot of stuff she is saying does make sense and I’m not totally saying this dude is innocent but at the same time, this case was closed way too fast without enough substantial evidence. The little evidence that they did find that they felt convicted him was not enough even in their eyes to take him into custody when they first found that evidence, think about that.

So let’s be prayerful that whomever was really apart of this tragic event will be discovered. After all, GOD’S WILL SHALL BE DONE.

Where is an attorney or spokesperson when you need one? The more this woman talks, the more she could be incriminating her son and not know it. Granted, he doesn’t need any assistance from Mommie Dearest since his behavior leading up to the murders is apparently enough. He’s no boy scout, he had already served time for attempted murder. He has a history of this kind of behavior. Let justice be served and may the Hudson-King family rest in peace.

You better say it De’Vincent!

So true girl.

i think that she made some valid points. yes, she is a bit ghetto, but i think there is some truth to what she’s saying. i mean how can you accuse someone of something based on what 1 of 3 of his girlfriends said. the fact that she was with him knowing that she wasn’t the only one says a whole lot about her character. something in the milk is not clean. i’m starting to believe that julia may have had something to do with it, because everything is so hush hush. either that or there were definitely others involved. it’s really a sad story.

Like I said before, I can’t “dethrone” my Queen (Black woman)……simply put – I need her.
____________________________________________________
that touched me in a special way I love when my man call me his Queen and i am proud to say that I have a strong black man that takes care of me and has never been to jail day in his life. He ‘s not a billionaire but he makes sure that we are living comfortably and he even helps his mother every month with her bills. He is my future husband.(yes im claiming it now)

You are truly blessed Flawdagurl. Him also, because you seem to sincerely appreciate him!

Let’s see, wasn’t her son arrested before on attempted murder charges? Black women, stop loving your sons and raising your daughters. You have to raise those rusty butt boys, or else they will turn out like her son.

Wow! There are sure some ignorant people in this world including some of the people making comments on this video! A mother will believe in her child and love them no matter what. If the lil’ man say he didn’t do it to her then that’s what she will believe. I think he know something about it but I pray he didn’t, I pray who ever did gets caught, and I also pray to GOD that this ignorance coming from the loud and vengeful idiots stop! Some of you need to pick up a book or get a hobby!

I hate how you people talk. You are the ignorant ones!!!

Ermy Erm (Chitown til it go DOWN!)
You are about the only person on here with some kind of sense. No one is seeming to read between the lines. I don’t believe he committed the murders either. Remember: Julia made the statement on television….” if you have any beef with me, take it up with me and let my son go.” Why would she make that statement if she didn’t know what was going on.

@ Raising Emerging Black Men

Thank You so much for your comment. I was beginning to believe that everyone who visits this site are all bad mouth talking people of their own race. Your words are so true. Again thank you.

JD’s Revenge if anyone should have had their tubes tide it should have been your mother before she pushed your ass out. You are a total waste of space. I would be embarassed and hold my head in shame if I was your mother. Comments like yours is exactly what everyone on here is commenting about. You are a prime example of what is wrong with the black community. Looser like you that are proud to boast about f0cking white chicks and asians. Yet your sorry kind are leaving white women to raise their half breeds alone as well. I know and work with many white women that are single parents to half breed children, fathers are no where to be found. So, is black women the problem there to? Lets see Alicia Keys, Halle Berry, Barack Obama, Mariah Carey, I can go on. All talk about their fathers not being around. So, Who is really the problem? Is it the woman that birthed your insignificant ass or is it YOU?!?!?!? The only common denominator in this whole equation is loosers like you. I hate to get in a tit for tat war with anyone about the civil war between bw & bm because I think it’s ridiculous. But, please don’t get on here with the BS about how whites and asians are better. When the same N!ggas spewing that BS are leaving their seeds to fend for themselves with the white and asian chicks as well.

The most disturbing thing about this whole case is that a child lost his life. What kind of world do we live in that breeds child killers. I read about children being murdered everyday. It is an awful and sick world we live in where innocent children are not allowed a tommorrow. What is really going on in the world where a child can not be safe at GRANDMA’S house? That poor baby, it just tears my heart out everytime I think about it.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty. Why are u guys so quick to judge u’r own? How else is his mother supposed to act? How would you act if he was u’r son or brother. It’s refreshing to see a mother fight for her child when no one else will.

P.s. @ Raising Emerging Black Men- Marry me??

i dont care if u call me stupid , but something just aint right julia dont seem all that innocent to me

This is just sad….she has enough evidence to help assist in proving her son’s innocence. He can still love his wife and cheat people- he just do not respect her. I hope they find out who the killer is. So that the right man will be charged, William or not. A sad time and may we all say prayers for both families. This makes me want to cry for the mother, and the remaining members of each family, look at how one persons ignorance has affected so many people. A sick person kills kids. and in most cases kids have been killed alone without adults. This is soo sad. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

No comment

Okay I’ve scanned through these comments. But let’s be real here. Imagine yourself to be William’s mother, no real income to pay for a GOOOOOOOOD lawyer, no publicist, no family spokesperson, and your son is indicted. What do you do? You use a public platform like youtube to air what you think and feel are the injustices of this case. That doesn’t mean that William is guilty or innocent. It means that the mother is using the only thing she has available to her, her FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. Now is it wise? Who knows? Will it sabotage her son’s chances of a fair trial? Who knows? The fact of the matter is, it all stinks to high heaven and it has nothing to do with whether or not William is guilty or innocent. We’re beyond that at the moment. I think the fact that it’s become such a high profile case and Chicago is being watched under a microscope (I AM IN FRANCE FOR GODSAKES), the police and the mayor would want nothing more for it to be open and shut, and sealed with a button– no more case. THINK ABOUT IT.

I have a questions where the hell was julia during the murders?? why did julia tell the police that her mother and brother were murdered and her son was missing?? was it not during school hours that she found that?? Hmmmmm wonder was it just a good GUESS?? Why in the world would she get up on national tv and say I know who you are; just bring my son back??? Didnt she clearly indicate that she knew what was going on?? How the hell could william kill Julian from Jail?? Why would julia the immediate family member of the deceased, still be up writting on myspace…….??? Sounds pretty weird to me…I came up with a little scenario……..Julia, william, and possible another party came up with a plot to set up a fake kidnapping to get money from Jennifer….I think it all went down hill from there………ending with the murders, I think that they didnt totally think the whole thing through and didnt expect the medi coverage to be so hectic….and thats why they killed julian because they knew the police were hot on their trail and would eventually find out what happened if they carried out the dam kidnapping…….and to speak about williams mother, she may speak in a form of ebonics due to her stuation, community and lack of education but she’s doing what any mother should…..protecting, and taking up for there CHILD…….

Street Smartz, I hope no one is that heartless to have their baby and mother killed to extort money from their little sister. In all honesty William knows what happened, whether he did it or not. He knows

OK thisghetto uneducated woman needs to sit down and shut the hell up. Noone really cares what she is saying because she raised a boy to disrespect women so bad that he has a wife and women on the side. And momma ghetto fabulous CONDONES THIS!! She is pathetic and just wants to be seen. She said it herself her son doesnt even LIKE her!! She needs to get a vocabulary and a CLUE! Shes making herself look like the uneducated, ghetto ho that she is!! SHUT THA HELL UP HO!! UR SON IS N A GANG! OF COURSE HE KILLED EVERYONE I do think there was another accomplice though.

@Tita13
Thank you. I normally don’t post on here but after reading some of the hurtful deragatory statements that many of the people are using on here, it hurt me to my heart. And I just felt a need to say something to defend our race. However imperfect it may be its mine and its the only one I’ve got. So I can either be like many of the people on here who are so quick to talk down on their own to impress the very people who talk about them the same way when their backs are turned. OR I can raise my black princes to be the Future black Kings that that this world needs.
By making sure that they are not only God fearing but mother fearing as well, making sure that they have the education that they deserve, constantly telling and showing them how much they are loved and worth, making sure that they respect others (even if they do not like them), teaching them right from wrong, making sure they have the things they need, which may not always be the things that they want (but they do know the difference), explaining to them (and making sure they understand) the consenquences of their actions, and not exposing them to the harsh realities of the world but making sure that they are aware of them, letting them know that no matter what they do good or bad at the end of the day I’m still their mother and that nothing in this world can take away the love that I have for them.
All I can do I raise my sons the best way that I know how and Pray to God that I got it right.

@Disappointed
LOL… As flattered as I am, I am going to have to humbly decline your proposal. Because like Flawdagurl I too have a good one.

Dear God,
Please grant me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change. The Courage to change the things that I can not. And the Wisdom to know the difference.

None of us on the outside looking in knows who killed theses people. We don’t know if what this woman is saying is true or not. I think what she’s saying needs to be looked into because from what we’ve seen there has not been a good investigation.By this being such a high profile case the DA’s office doesn’t want to look like idiots to the general public and say we can’t find the person or persons who did this. I’m not saying that he couldn’t have done this. I don’t put anything against anyone, but i’m saying whomever did this horrible crime needs to pay with their life.

@Mslady
Hey there mslady!
I totally agreee with your point that no one race can claim that their parenting skills are any better or tighter than anyone else’s, it’s just that the spotlight is always on the deconstruction & dysfunctionality of the African American family. However, I do believe that real parenting skills are lacking across the board. Many parents (All Colors) are not paying attention to their children like they used to. They aren’t talking to their children and providing the support and understanding that they need, and they certainly aren’t breaking off a**whippings like they should.
I’m 33, and when I was coming up, if my mother was not around when I was misbehavin, someone else would correct me. I’m thankful for that. These days “It takes a village to raise a child” is null and void. Parents always “check” the person chastising their child instead of “checking” the child first. That makes the child lack respect for any adult. Anyway, as my rambling comes to a halt. I just wanted you to know that I feel ya!

HOTT GHETTO MESS…..HE DEFINITELY HAD HELP DOING THIS BUT HIS ALIBY AND STORIES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. AT THE END OF THE DAY THREE PEOPLE WERE BRUTALLY MURDERED, ONE BEING A LITTLE CHILD AND ALL RELATED TO A OSCAR WINNER, GRAMMY NOMINATED CELEBRITY. THEY GOT TO LOCK SOMBODY UP! HE CAN CANCEL SUNLIGHT FOR A MIN. THAT JULIA IS SHISTY TO ME! HMMMMM? IM JUST SAYING~

Hate to say it, but she does make a few valid points. We’ll just have to see what happens. Justice must be served for these senseless killings!

- SGKM

for anyone who’s interested, here’s a piece from the chicago tribune talkin about Willy Balfour’s upbringing. lets see mamma know’s he didn’t do it yet, his daddy got sent up for murder when he was a kid, she was investigated by child services for beating the sh^t out of lil willy, he got turned over to the state by her and was doing heroin at 14…. Ya’ll can read the rest. And this triff, phat a.ss ho needs to sit down and shut the f.uc.k up.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-jennifer-hudson-william-balfour-081207,0,4287643.story

Ya’ll need to stop judging people and open your eyes.In case you didn’t know… the media LIES. You’re responding based off your feelings for Jennifer Hudson and because there was a child involved. You have no idea what REALLY happened in that house and to that boy. Trust, if this was Shalonda Jenkins family from southside Chicago this mess would have never made the national news and they’d still be “looking” for the murder. I’m not saying I don’t think he did it (cause I really don’t know what happened) but I think his mother does have her points. Ya’ll need to stop judging and let God be judge and jury.

She’s being a mother but deep down I believe that she knows her son had something to do with it. She is trippin’ for the most part because she is basically implicating her son!! He had 3 chics and they all knew about each other but what I’m confused about is that she trying to blame it on one of them saying she was bitter he was going back to his wife.
WTF?! He they were working things out why hadn’t he cut those other chics off yet and why does Julia already have a new man?! If they were working on things she would be by his side through this and he would probably be lawyered up!!

And she trying to say he couldn’t commit 3 murders by himself but a child could kill 3 ppl with a glock….look at that lil 8 yr old! But one of the gfs could….she was just lookin’ ignorant for the most part!!

I have been thinking about this and I have to agree with all the others on here who don’t think William did it or he was not alone in this.

I tend to think he was not alone in this and I am pretty sure Julia knew all along what brought this on and might know even more.

With a background like his, being married to Julia and threathening her family when he was mad at her would make him the logical choice, but not necessarily the correct choice as far as the killings goes.

The police said there was gun residue on the steering wheel of William’s car but they did not say if they found the same type of gun residue on William’ hands.

They have never said, or at least I have never heard, when little Julian was killed. Was he killed right away and did William park the SUV with Julian’s body in it on the street where it was found the same day of the other killings or was it put there later. You know, William was in jail when the SUV was found.

His mom may not be going about defending her son in the right way, but she may not be wrong about him not killing Darnell, Jason and Julian either.

@cristala sit down hoe you write nonsense.

What. In. The. Fried. Crispy. Hell?!?! Somebody needs to tell this broad to STFU up for real!!

i am not convinced he did it. where’s the proof.i watch forensic files and i wanna see some forensic evidence because that is the most dependable evidence.people lie.u cant listen to testimony alone.BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED.This type of framing happens more often than you all think.and i am very much involved in the legal system so i know

I would like to respond to the statement that black women do a poor job raising their children. First and foremost race does not have a thing to do with an upbringing of a child. I was raised by a black mother in I’m a successful women who also is a mother. People like yourself need to think before you make a comment. That lady is no different then a white women defending her child, the only difference is that she is not crying in pleading for sympathy. That fact is that they don’t have any real evidence to hold her son. I myself think that all the signs point to him, but until the Chicago Police get hard core evidence she have the right as a mother and citizen to speak her peace and believe her son is innocent. Regardless of her race! Black people need to stop putting each other down and start uplifting one another.

My cousin once had these friends. They were cool dudes but one of them was obviously a little off.But if you asked me to talk about them I’d be like they’re harmless just dudes who hang in the streets. But these same cats that I thought were harmless went into a little bank and killed like 3 people before being caught.I was shocked at opening up the paper and seeing these dudes that I hung out with on the first page. So you never know what some people will do if they feel like they need to do it. She’s this dudes mother so of course she is going to stand up for him and defend him like her life depended upon it but it’s like he’s no good. You can come out your mouth at this girl but he needs to own up to what he did. It’s like that old saying- it’s a thin line between love and hate.

This is a shout out to Cristala- You sound like a dumb chica- who do you think you are to come out your face about black mothers- are you black? no- well then shut the hell up and keep your opinions to yourself.You probably don’t appreciate it when people are like spanish mothers don’t discipline their kids and that’s why they’re always running around like little Cockroaches. You don’t like disrespect so don’t give it to others. I am a black woman and I was raised by a strong black woman and she was raised by a strong black woman. It’s like Troynetta said- race has nothing to do with it.There are bad eggs in all races- It’s like Bill Cosby said in his book the community is no longer involved in raising kids.My mom is like the same thing- I was raised with the community in my business. It got on my nerves at times but if they saw me doing something or being some place i shouldn’t be they would scoop me up and be like what are you doing. We can’t be crabs in the barrel we have to help each other and help ignorant people see that we are a people about something.

I think there alot misinformation give to the public, On the William Balfour case you would have to take in account all the evidence that been given, Look at the police report,the coroner report, and your prints the ballistic report any
DNA,Drugs evidence how might have been use in aiding and abetting the crime thin By following
this through Courtroom procedure you might a have
some idea about making and intelligence comment,
What the public media is reporting is SQUAT !

she is really defending him hard!! goodness gracious.

I think she is in sever denial about her son.

there are killers out there who have killed more than three people in one night!

there is so much damage that you can do when your extremely angry!

the amount of power, will and energy that you have when your angry is enough to surprise yourself!!!

This woman, however is giving out a lot of information to the press. cant keep her mouth shut! she needs to be talking to her son’s attorney

but dont play around. If Jennifer believes that William did it, she has the resources and the connections to have the best attorneys in the country and can see that William doesnt see the time of day. and you know that lots of judges would be all to eager to send another black man to prison.

trust!!!

“I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don’t you know where he is? And why doesn’t the father show up to talk to this boy?”

Apparently, Jason Hudson was entangled in the drug trade and had a drug conviction on his record.
In fact, according to sources in the neighborhood, at the time of the murders, Jason was walking around with a bullet in his leg from an altercation with other drug dealers in the area.
It’s possible that the murders were the result of a drug deal gone bad rather than a domestic dispute.
But police officials appear to be hanging their case on the claim of Balfour’s girlfriend that he confessed to her and asked her to provide an alibi.
Deputy Supt. Peterson said there is physical evidence that has been collected but stopped short of stating whether any of it links Balfour to the murders. Forensic and ballistic testing is also still pending, but he said he’d rather not get into any specifics on what tests are outstanding.
He also said it appears that no one else is involved but that developments may arise later.
While Balfour has not confessed to any involvement in the homicides, he has made statements to police about the investigation, Peterson said.
He is scheduled to appear in bond court Wednesday.

Another mother in denial about her criminal and guilty child. She is loud, trifling, and shouldn’t of never made such a ridiculous public statement. This is the mindset of some mothers. This is shameful. He’s guilty and has a record, and deserves to pay for the murders of a mother, a son, and a 8 year old boy. I am so thankful to God that my mom isn’t like this, nor other women in my family.

bull bull bull she’s full of shit!!!!!

My heart and prayers go out to the Hudson family. That certainly was atragic event that took place. I pray for Jennifer to find peace to endure. But I am thinking that maybe willaim did do the murders but Julia is suspect also and why would the brother be selling drugs when his sister could could have very well made life much easier for all of them. Maybe it was for money and went bad I dont know but God bless the family.

Its been awhile since I have been on this site and I am reading the blogs and my heart is troubled about some of the comments.I seen the youtube vid of dude’s mom and its true a mother will defend her child at any length but the comment about her sounding so ignorant to the point that she didnt do a good job raising him…I dont know these ppl but we should not judge ppl like that cause I know adults that cant read or write less lone speak intellegent english but that really doesnt mean that you raise your children bad, without morals and value. Black ppl you know we wasnt allowed to even go to school way back when but our parents were very keen on keeping us in line with respect, truth, cleaniness and all the other qualities that we pocess right today. So please dont let that be the reason why we want to accuse dude of these crimes. I also know how corrupt and dirty the CPD is and if it was so open and shut we would be hearing updates concerning this. If this guy did this mess beleive me he wasnt in on this alone and we need to look at brother and Julia.
