76. What a terrible time to bring out the hate and judgement . Please quit blaming of the victim. Whatever mistakes the people in this family have made, none of them deserved to be murdered or have their loved ones murdered and kidnapped. This family needs love and support. The cruelty veiled behind the anonymity of the Internet is astounding.

78. for those who dont believe in the bible tradegy always will happen to show us that the word of
God is true. in the bible he tells us about satan his methods and how to know when you see
someone acting in satans behalf. this was terrible but Gods word also speak about when somene
hurts one of his little ones and this person will be dealt with he shall be cut down like the green
grass. but the main thing to remember is the scipturs are so true. for example" The Love of Money
is the root of All evil. this boy knows he was married to the wonderful J.Hudson so he thought
that would get him closer to some of the famies money but as you can see he screwed hisself
for the rest of his life. while the deceased will be living in heaven. so Jennifer has to remember
that to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord. and since they have a church up
bringing then tney know. but in order for this dude or these guys to receive their full punishment
he must be forgiven because the bible says" Thou Shalt Not KILL.. those who live by the sword
shall die by the swrod so his time is coming. my prayers are witht he family this will be hard and tough
but you will get through this because Earth has NO sorrow that heaven cannot hea.

79. It is Julia logging on to her myspace. She wrote a message to all those who seem to have a problem with her myspace usage these past few days....She speaks about using it as a means to find Julian, yet she never posted the Amber alert put out on Julian and she had time to update her photos and surveys...she has a new boyfriend too. All in All may God shelter this family including Julia. She is a disturbed person. She may be long overdue for help.

80. It is truly a sad time for Jennifer Hudson and her sister to lose their family members in this terrible way. Please pray for peace for this family and that God will allow forgiveness to come in their hearts, because God will render judgement to whom ever did this, in His way and in His time, Jennifer I speak peace over your life and your sister's in Jesus name. Amen

81. I am ashamed by the comments that are being made about this family. Regardless of whatyou think about Julia....she is a woman who has lost 3 members of her immediate family. I know we as people want our folks to represnet positively at all time, but that's not the real world. We have all sorts of people from different backgrounds, life experience and different levels of life expectations; however, I would never chose this time to condemn someone who is sincerely murning. Let's come together and support our black community. It embarrasses me to think that some folks who are not black would read some of these comments...and then call us idiots for attackig one of ours at a time that is so hurtful. We all make mistakes, we all have made bad choices in our lives, but luckily we have been spared from some of these profound tragedies. Let's support, and pray for this family not preach disdain for Julia.

82. It sounds like most are going with the premise that William Balfour did this and now they are trying to build a case against him.
This is dangerous because it will cause the case to be closed & what if he really didn't do it?
What if it is a set up of somesort? This case needs to be investigated fully & I mean fully.
Other people in peripheal relationships need to be looked at as well.
Since most in that neighborhood know of the conflict Julia was having with William, it would have been easy to set him up.
We must not stop at the first person who seems suspect. This is crucial to stopping the violence, find the real culprits.
Or else the violence will just continue in a never ending cycle.

SO YOU CAN EMAIL ME, MS.J AND AGAIN TO GOD BE THE GLORY...

84. i would hope that her page is staying the same because of law enforcement...if it was me i would definately change my page to show a little bit more dignity. it has nothing to so with being black or white. i would just alter things and make my family proud. i would begin to live with them in mind and her page was just awful.
but that's neither here nor there -we all need to change and grow in different areas of our lives at one tome or another.
i am so sorry that this had to happen to her family and whoever did it should pay!! i have a baby girl who will be 7 soon and i cringe to think of what she would have felt if this had happened to her. i hope the hudson family will be okay...there is nothing to say that will ease the pain but i hope they know that the world feels their pain. ms. julia hudson - i am so sorry for the loss of your baby...and your mom and brother. so sorry...
