Hudson Murders - "Trouble in the Marriage"

76. to #23 - I also notice in Julia's press conference she said "Julian was" and then stopped herself and said "is". Her interview does not seem like a person that just lost their mother and brother, and child is missing. I recently lost my mother (to illness, not to crime) and I'm still shook up. I hope Julia didn't have anything to do with this, because she doesn't look credible. Also, Jenn's mom was a grown woman. She could not make her mother move out of the hood where she was comfortable living. Even if she had, crime would have followed them whereever they went if William (Flex) really did it.

78. This is a crime of domestic violence. Race, income and location have nothing to do with it. It can happen anywhere to anyone.

That'a so niave

More crime happens in poor urban neiighborhoods, it's a fact

Murder happens everywhere, that's true, but more murders and violent crimes occur in poor urban neighborhoods.

80. I read some of the comments by people that are evidently black. And I know that there are many good black people because I know many personally that are my customers. But certainly a reasonable black person could understand why white people do not want to live around black people. It has nothing to do with not liking the people. It has to do with not wanting to deal with the predominant culture of young blacks. The arrogance, the associations and lack of respect for the rights of others are not part of how I want to live my life. I work very hard and spend much of the fruits of my labor maintaining a distance from this sort of negative behavior. And I try to associate with people who also try to view life from a positive perspective. I am not going to take the time go into the lives a each person and see who they are. But when I turn on the local news and read stories day after day, year after year, I form an opinion that these are people that I don't want to buy a house anywhere near. Why spend most of what I make on house and then watch it drop in value as positive people, white and black, leave and put their house on the market in a flight to safety. Black people have the power to affect this perception, not whites. Blacks have the equality now, they have the money they need, they have equal education, equal opportunity. And it seems to me that they are squandering this great opportunity. I have no sympathy anymore.

81. Da Man:

We are all concerned beyond belief about this precious child. But if you don't bring "Crazy and Mean" into the house (and this happens at all levels of humankind), then in all likelihood double murder and child abduction is not something to have to worry about.

Who's to say Julia might be looking for yet another bad boy to keep her tootsies warm this winter. I just hope she has learned her lesson like lots of other lonely women starving for affection. This all didn't have to happen.

82. If it ends up that Balfour did this, Julia will beat herself up for the rest of her life. I'm not convinced he did it. I'm certainly not convinced Julian is dead. As I've said before, if you've already killed two people, what's one more? No, I think Julian is hidden somewhere. Maybe as a ransom. Maybe as a bargaining chip in dealing with police as a possible plea deal. The FBI is involved, so hopefully this nightmare will end soon. I think Jennifer should move Julia and Julian out of that area ASAP. I know it's home, but home isn't safe anymore. Especially a family that famous.

83. I heard that Jennifer's mother did not wish to leave the hood--it was her home, and she loved the neighbors and they loved her. I think Jennifer would have moved her out if the mother had wanted to go, but she didn't want to go--this place was her home. Domestic violence and homicide can and does happen ANYWHERE, regardless of whether the neighborhod is rich or poor, black , white, Hispanic or whatever. We live in a violent culture, and that's the bottom line. But don't blame Jennifer Hudson!

84. To blame Jennifer Hudson or Julia Balfour is truly to kick someone when they're down.

85. This dude could not look any nastier if he tried. Why on earth would Julia Hudson invite this felon into the lives of her family and worse expose him to her son. What did she think would happen? Nobody should be that desperate for a man. I'd go straight up gay before I'd go there. I feel very sorry for the boy , his mother failed to protect him , she made the choice to bring an attempted murderer into the life of her family. I have no sympathy for her at all.

86. TMZ, WHY NOT SHOW THE PIC OF THE LITTLE BOY MISSING ???? ESPECIALLY THE ONE THAT JENNIFER HUDSON HAS ON HER MYSPACE...I'D THINK IT'D BE VERY HELPFUL TO THE FAMILY, NO?

87. To honor Julia and Jennifer we should all stop and take a closer look at our friends, sisters, mothers, aunts and other loved ones with children who feel they can't for some reason leave a relationship tainted with domestic violence. If we don't start calling "crazy and mean" what it is, it wins. And it takes innocent victims with it.

88. This is such a terrable tragedy. Let's just pray Julian is found safe and brought back to his family. Nobody should have to go through what Jennifer and her family has to deal with right now. Unfortunately it can happen anywhere, anytime to anyone no matter what color, nationality, where they live, rich or poor. It happens all the time and it seems to be getting worse.

89. I too am amazed that even in this tragedy people ignorantly judge these violant acts against women and children based on race, and economic status. Believe me, domestic violance is not isolated to "the hood". I'm an affluent, professional woman who was a victim many years ago of domestice violence. I did not live in the hood. My husband was professional, college educated and had no criminal past. Thank God, my story and life did not end tragically. I was able to leave and get help. Until people stop blaming women and realize that this is a serious problem that needs to be addressed; unfortunately, we'll continue to get reports of these kinds of stories. God Bless Jennifer, her sister (who must be deeply hurt by these unimaginable acts against her spirit, and little Julian (that he be returned to his family safe and unharmed).

90. I bet it takes a hell of a lot of flour to roll her in. Is it really worth it looking for that wet spot. Bitch is FAT!
