Celebrity Justice
Balfour Has Anger Management Issues

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ why officials believe William Balfour violated his parole -- he had missed anger management counseling and substance abuse courses that were required as a condition of his release from prison.

Balfour had served time for attempted murder and carjacking. The anger management lapse is ominous, given that he's a "person of interest" in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew. As for the substance abuse courses, the Chicago Sun-Times quotes a witness as saying they saw a man resembling Balfour exiting the infamous white SUV "carrying what appeared to be a bottle of liquor."

Several law enforcement sources tell us Balfour could be charged in the murders as early as today, but no timetable is definite.

91. 25. Wow. I am praying for this person and hoping that God will have mercy on his soul. Senseless tragedy. Senseless violence. Senseless pain. Senseless loss.

92. 35. Im sure he had something to do with this . No doubt in my mind.

--
But I want to address something.
what I find odd is that on her myspace she has a picture of her mom
in a frame on the right side in the mob ad.
there is also guns and a car with a white icon.

Then there is two icons highlight which are "a money bag" and a "line
of people."

now im not saying this is anything but its just odd.

dont know if she will delete that. Im hoping so because that just
doesnt look right

Why would she have a man that possibly killed her family on her myspace still?
If you can easily change your mood and pictures around you can easily delete someone off

Those are icons for a myspace turn based game called "Mobsters". It happens to be the most popular game on the site.

94. He looks like a caveman...Look at that profile! Total monster! That poor family:( I don't understand how anyone can look at a child and then shoot them. I would love to go back to the day's where no one had lawyers! Today we really don't need them...If the cops have DNA that proves you are guilty then your @ss should fry on the spot! All defense lawyers do today is let sex offenders go and lie for murders! Defense lawyers suck!! Prosecuting Attorney is only ones i feel should be around. We have too much science today and other things to prove a person is innocent or guilty.

95. People like this make me question the existence of God. Besides doesn't God help those who help themseleves. Well I think it's time that the good people of Cook County help themselves, the Hudsons, and the rest of law biding America out and fry this mofo till fire shoots out his eyes.
Straight to HELL for this child killer!!!!!!

96. In my opinion, Jennifer's sister is to blame for this as well. You don't romp around with anyone who has been realeased from a 7 year jail stint on one of the two accounts being "attempted murder". You invited this person (her husband) into the family throws. I would have never let him get within one inch of me or my family. I suspect he is the guilty party and if so, the judge needs to throw him under the jail and send in a master torturer every couple of days to beat him within an inch of his life for the rest of his life while he's incarcerrated. He should never be allowed to see day-light again.

He should also get life for each life he took. In my opinion once it was found that he violated his probation, the authorities should have swooped down on his ass and snatched him up and threw him right back into the bowels of the jail. He had no right making the decision to take the life of 3 people. I tell you, had it been me I would have never had him around my family .... the other crime was one thing but the attempted murder crime for which he did 7 years was another ..... at some point, Jennifer's sister has to stomach some of this tragedy. My prayers are with her entire family ....... may they be surrounded by the White Light of all that is Holy in this very tragic time ......

97. 58.
Its sad that it happened but this stuff happens all over America and its unfortunate that an obvious criminal was let out of jail why? over crowding again?

Off the subject but why is it that its ok in america to talk about how a dissporportionate number of blacks are in the prison system but not ok to mention how a dissporportionate number of violent crimes are commited by blacks?

I hope that when obama becomes president we can all get off this PC crap and call a spade a spade.

HEY IDIOT..IF OBAMA RUNS THIS COUNTRY HE WAY HE SUPPORTS CHICAGO THEN WE ARE IN A MESS OF TROUBLE


298 DEATHS IN CHICAGO THIS YEAR

212 DEATHS IN IRAQ


IF HE CANT CONTROL THE THUGS IN CHICAGO...WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE CAN CONTROL THE TERRORIST OF THIS WORLD...OBAMA SUCKS BIG TIME...VOTE MCCAIN AND PEOPLE LIKE BALFOUR WILL BE TREATED LIKE THEY TREAT HUMAN LIFE, WITH NO RESPECT. AS FOR JULIA, YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOUR SELF AND YOU ALONE WITH BALFOUR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE INNOCENT LIVES AND YET YOU LIVE TO SAY YOUR SON IS WATCHUNG OVER YOU AS YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING OVER HIM....DO THE WORLD A FAVOR AND GET STERILIZED, BECAUSE YOU ARE ONE UNFIT MOTHER...YOUR CHILD DIED FOR YOUR SINS!

98. Was Jennifer Hudson's sister so desperate for a man that she chose this loser? Just looking at him you can tell he's trouble.

99. balfours mother needs to shut her mouth, after all she is too blame for this too..how did she raise such a monster, she seems the type to have kids..go on welfare and then have nothingto do with raising her kids.......hopefully when they kill her son she will suffer the same way the hudson family suffered at the hands of her son. she isas much a monster as her son is.

Despite many people's speculations of Julia Hudson, I just wish people would leave her alone and give her time to mourn the death of her loved ones... especially her child.

101. just because he has a past doesn’t mean he killed those people. what happen innocent until proven guilty.

102. llcool, I do understand where you're coming from and your reasoning but sometimes there's just something misfiring between someones ears and regardless of what a parent does that kid is going to screw up big time. From experience I can tell you years of therapy, countless psychologists and psychiatrists, various medications, interventions, etc. sometimes just doesn't work for some people. I can't imagine how devastated his mother must be herself knowing that her son is capable of such a heinous act against people he was supposed to love. I'm sure she's in denial, how can she not be but at the same time she has to know he was capable of it since he already did time in prison.

103. I FEEL JUST SO TERRIBLE FOR JENNIFER HUDSON. I COULDN'T IMAGINE IDENTIFYING MY MOTHER BUT A OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY. HER HEART MUST BE SO HEAVY, AND SHE MUST FEEL LOST AS WELL. I HOPE THE POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING HER SISTER AS WELL AS OTHER THEN HER EX-SPOUSE. TO ME SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A VICTIM IN THIS CASE, SHE SEEMS A LITTLE SHADY TO ME JUST BY HER ACTIONS INTHE NEWS CONFERENCE.
ALSO THAT POOR INNOCENT BABY MUST HAVE BEEN SO SCARED BEING WITH WHO EVER DID THIS TO HIM. HE PROBABLY KNEW WHO MURDERED HIS GRANDMOTHER AND UNCLE, AND HAD TO SUFFER. I HOPE WHO EVER DID THIS TO THIS LITTLE INNOCENT BABY AND THE OTHERS REALLY,REALLY SUFFER IN JAIL AND THEN GET THE DEATH PENALTY(AND NOT THE LETHAL INJECTION) THAT'S TOO EASY, WHOMEVER SHOULD GET THE CHAIR AND FRY.
I ALSO HOPE THAT JENNIFER FINDS SOME KIND OF PIECE AND STAYS AWAY FROM HER OLD NEIGHBORHOOD AND STARTS A NEW LIFE AND HAS HER FAT DISGUSTING SISTER FEND FOR HERSELF AND NOT MOOCH OFF HER.

104. Really people, how can you blame this mother for anything her estranged husband did? She may be guilty of choosing the wrong mate, but that doesnt mean she deserves to have these horrible things happen to her family. Animals like william balfour are so evil, he knew that killing her family would hurt her more than anything and that is why he did this. He chose not to kill her so she would have to suffer through this-that is pure EVIL! Lets not be judgemental of Julia, can you even begin to imagine the heartache she is going through??

********

I understand what you are saying. Surely Julia knew about this guys nefarious past. It's one thing to be a single woman that hooks up with a crimminal.....but it's another thing to be a MOTHER thats hooks up with a crimminal and puts their child in jeopardy. It's just so darn sad, senseless and tragic.
