I'm curious as to who is going to pay to have Ferguson Perforating's building repainted now that the friends of the deceased have found defacing the building to be the best way to honor the dead.

I was wondering the same thing about the graffiti on the building. Too bad about the kids.

Um how can anyone ask that question at this point in time, maybe if it was a family member or a best friend of yours, the outlook would have been different. I can't understand how people can be so ignorant.

I was also wondering about the building. By the way, since when are you a "kid" at 23 and 27 years of age. You live that lifestyle, you suffer the consequences.

It is sad about the kids that are lost. But vandalisiam is not a given that is a crime also. Place flowers make signs but someone needs to respect others propety. That is rightfully damaged an needs to be painted. I think the driver should not only pay for the crime but also to paint the building.

forget about the spray paint worry about the the kids who are deceased and pray for them, cuz its jus a symbol of struggle and i think everyone should understand and respect that....

Is this typical of those who go out boozin' with a bottle of cognac in a Mercedes in the middle of the night and endanger others that their supporters defend defacing someone else's property as a memorial? Tough on the kids, but why should a property owner have to pay extra because some drunk driver slammed into HIS property?

The building does not compare to the three lives that were taken. I can't say that I feel all that bad for them because if they had not been drinking and driving it would have never happened. They were men, not kids who didn't know what they were doing. Now their families are suffing for their stupid acts.

It is a tragedy, but defacing someone else's property won't bring them back. It wasn't the business owner's fault, they should not get puinshed either.

I think things happen for reasons, and in this situation there is a lesson to be learned. There for the lesson should be taken and not criticized because we are all human beings and no one is better than anyone else. Unfortunately in this situation the sole survivor is learning the hard way. He is paying the price.

I don't think that this post was meant for you idiots to comment about the graffiti art on the abandoned building. People died here. Someone lost a son, a brother, nephew, father maybe. Really, people! This was meant for people to post condolences and memories of the deceased! Where is the empathy? Where is the respect?

Do you really think that if you lost a family member that the first thing on your mind would be "vandalism"? I honestly cannot believe how cold-hearted this world has become. Regardless of what lifestyle anyone leads, no one deserves to DIE! How dare you say such a thing. And may god bless the families of those that have passed and may god watch over those that are still living because "YOU" never know what life may have in store for you.
God Bless.

it is a tragedy, and everyone should mourn a loss so great. However, if the car had crashed into your house, would you be ok with all the spray paint, and would you tell people it's not the time to discuss it? Respect the deceased, but while you are at it, respect the living

Remember material things can be replaced, like a new paint job...people cannot be replaced, therefore cherish all who are in your life while you can and while they're still with you!

forget about the spray paint. those kids were good friends and it is our way to show our grief and how much they are going to be missed god bless them and let them know how much they were loved and will be missed!!!

if this would have been in north kingstown or west warwick, nobody would be talking about a building or graffiti. it's all a crime, the speeding and the drinking, but can u have respect for the victims. u may not drink, but uir son, daughter or family may and u dont want anyone disrespecting her memory by finding something negative to say, we all know whoever owns that building will be able to paint over the wall and i'ts sad he may have to pay to do it, but come on people stop nit-picking

I cannot believe how inconsiderate some people can be. This was someone's brother, father, cousin and most importantly son. This whole community should be saddened and praying for the lost souls. I Hope that the lord shows the way for their souls into heaven and hope that the lord protects and watches over us, our parents,and most importantly our children. I ask that the lord be with their families and friends and have them realize that the lord needed more angels in the sky and chose them for who they were in this world, they will now watch over us!

I cannot believe that so many people had the utter audacity and tactlessness to comment on the building paint and assumed life style of the young men involved. My sympathy goes out to the families and friends of those who were killed. And if need be I am sure someone will be able to take up a collection to donate to the Ferguson company to reimburse them for the white paint and labor after the young men's funerals have been paid for. And for those of you who have more sympathy for the company that will have to repaint than for the families and friends of those who have passed away, I would hate to live in your petty little world.

how can people only think about the building, the building can be repaired at any time but those lives never can be repaired

1) Again, they are not "kids".
2) The driver was driving recklessly.
3) It's not a tragedy. It's a crminal waste of precious human life.
4) Make a "memorial" on your own property.
5) What "struggle" is that? The plight of "poor" inner city Hispanics driving 6 year old Mercedez Benz'?
6) If it was a friend or family member of mine, I would NOT be creating a tacky "memorial" on someone else's property. I would be with my family and friends mourning our loss in PRIVATE!

You have got to be kidding me about condoning this sort of "memorial." Yes, it is sad that people died but for goodness sakes, it appears that they were out having a good time and not acting wisely. The "memorial" is just ridiculous, good question who is going to reimburse the business for this "memorial." I can just imagine the ridiculous uproar that will probably occur should this business choose to have their own building repainted and remove the "memorial." Give me a break, private property is PRIVATE property.

I understand they're grieving, but there is a right and wrong way of building a memorial. Vandalism is definitely a wrong way.

the city should allow a triangular stone memorial to be built and placed in that corner for the 3 who lost their lives

that makes sense . . . "just a symbol of struggle" . . . what does THAT mean? If the people who care about honoring and respecting the deceased, they wouldn't vandalize property in their name . . . unless of course those people don't care about respect and individual rights . . . just a symbol of stupidity and disrespect is more accurate . . . or is that 'cuz it's jus' a symbol of stupidity? I'll have to check with my seven year old on that; he seems to have a better handle on expression than Geo. The people who vandalized the building should pay to re-paint the building; the driver, if he is guilty of something, should pay for his crime, and not the crimes of others. Peace.

I can't believe you would ask such a stupid question... what do you care if people grafiti on someone else's property, mind your business because for all you know, they could have been given permission to do that! it's a memorial, let the family and friends grieve and if you do not care as much about the people who died, then don't comment at all... may they all rest in peace...

THIS IS ABOUT LIVES LOST AND FAMILY, NOT ABOUT A BUILDING AND 50 DOLLARS IN PAINT. YOU HAVE TO BE A HEARTLESS *!*TO SPEAK LIKE THAT.

RIP MARCO, CHRIS, AND CARLOS
YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED AND PLEASE WATCH OVER US AS WE WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOUR KIDS.
LOVE ASHLEY
SWEET DREAMS, GUYS

So, let me get this straight. If a group of reckless drunken people crashed into your house in the middle of the night, you people would think it is OK for them to spray paint your house the next day? ARE YOU FOR REAL? These kids caused their own demise. It wasn't a tragic accident. They could have killed an innocent person because they were being selfish. If you ask me, this wasn't their first drinking and driving eposide; it was just the first time there was a consequence to their actions.

WHO GIVES A F*** ABOUT A WHITE BULIDING. WE LOST THREE PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY THIS WORLD IS SOOO F****D UP TODAY, BECAUSE OF SELFISH PEOPLE THAT DON'T GIVE A F*** ABOUT THOSE KIDS THAT DIED THERE. MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE BULIDING S***. THE OWNER SHOULD BE HONORED TO HAVE THERE NAMES ON HIS BUILDING. SO EVERYONE CAN JUST MIND THERE BUSINESS BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. THIS IS BETWEEN THERE FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND WHOEVER DID KNOW THEM MIND YOUR OWN D*** BUSINESS AND JUST KEEP IN MIND IT COULD OF BEEN ONE OF YOUR KIDS. PEACE
REST IN PEACE GUYS AND MEMORY WILL FOREVER LIVE ON. LOVE YOU GUYS

You people don't have a heart! Yes! Too bad about the building! But if any one of you would have any culture, you'll know that Latinos place memorials where-ever their loved ones get killed. I knew Carlos, kindly called "bulto" and those other men that died; I just hope that justice is served and not prejudicing!!! Think about those men that died, think about their babies, their parents... not the building. Have a heart! and not be culture blind!!!!!

Are you guys serious? Two of these kids were dear friends of mine, Marco and Chris. Both lived a street over from me, and carried a normal life. To the ignorant poster talking about "Hispanics" and what not, you're completely wrong. Two of the three who died were young Portuguese fathers. Worked every day, and came home. They decided to go for a ride, in what endlessly became fatal. I live here in Washington Park, and sometimes, we like to let our voices be heard. Sometimes we scream, sometimes we talk, other times we display it. If it's that big a deal that the owner of the company doesn't want to dish out 30 bucks for paint, that's fine. But to completely disembrace the loss of three young men, is complete ignorance. Ya'll should be ashamed.

Sweet dream Carlos "Bulto" Polanco, may you rest with God in complete peace.!!!! I shall never forget you!!!

Give me a break! A "struggle" against WHAT? Bad judgement? Irresponsibility?

A bunch of twenty something (not "Kids") morons are out drinking and driving and we're damn lucky the only people they killed were themselves. And a Mercedes, even a six year old one, doesn't look like someone who is "struggling" very much to this owner of a ten year old Ford.

And people decide to pay homage to THAT, by defacing someone ELSE'S property???

How about some responsibility and accountability for their own actions, please? No one "did" anything to these men (sorry, 27 is far from being a "kid"), they did it to themselves. You want "cold hearted"? How about coldly deciding to deface someone else's property as if they have no right to prevent it? (and to the poster who asked "what if they had the owner's permission?", let me simply ask: are YOU saying that they DID?)

R.I.P CHRIS, MARCO, AND CARLOS..YOU GUYS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS!! .. it's sad that you guys had to go this way...but just remember you guys will always be loved and missed and never forgotten...my heart goes out to the families of chris, marco, and carlos..

LOVE LISA BARCELOS

WE WILL ALWAYS MISS AND LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Hey People!

Perhaps if these young men were not Hispanic or of other ethnic origin - but were instead sons and brothers and fathers of fine upstanding "yuppie" Caucasian Rhode Islanders - there would be more sympathy for their loss and far less dwelling on a few cans of spay paint on the side of a building. One culture's vandalism is another culture's way of saying goodbye. After all the finish on the building can be repaired, those young men are gone forever.

And should they have known better than to drink and drive at their age? Absolutely. Should they have had to pay with their lives? Of course not. After all, the hundreds of White and white-collar DUI's (ranging in age up to and including men and women in their 70's) prosecuted each year haven't figured it out either. Keep this to yourself, but some of them might even own a Mercedes as well…

The kids that were killed after a prom a year ago in Barrington were drinking - that was a tragedy not a moral outrage. And what about the spray painted memorials left there? Or what about the many & varied types of memorials left at the Station Nightclub that caused such consternation? Live and let live. Grieve and let grieve!

The bottom line is, unless one of you narrow-minded bigots owns the building - it's none of your business anyway.

RIP Marco, Carlos & Chris...

"One culture's vandalism is another culture's way of saying goodbye."

In what culture is graffiti and defacing of private property a recognized form of mourning?

"The kids that were killed after a prom a year ago in Barrington were drinking - that was a tragedy not a moral outrage."

Actually, I remember quite a lot of moral outrage that our kids are still too stupid to not mix alcohol and driving. And big difference there was that they were children. This incident involved four adult men who KNEW BETTER.

And finally, why would you want to go stand at a street corner and build a memorial to these men's greatest and final stupidity? How about celebrating how they lived instead of how they died?

This wasn't a 'tragedy'. It was a mass suicide by foolish men doing foolish things.

Not drinking and driving would have prevented it.

Not driving like a moron would have prevented it.

SEATBELTS would have saved their lives.

Yeah, 27 yr old kids, sorry but those are not children. Probably children on the road as they were drinking and driving, lucky they didn't get hurt.

Does anyone hear the owners of that building complaining about anything??? These young men that got killed were fathers and husbands. Yes, it is tragic! But imagine their babies will NEVER know their fathers. Remember, Latinos are very fragile and compassionate people. If these men were sons of the local millionaire and they where friends with anyone in the Latinos community, they would still make a memorial there. It is their culture! That building is that important, NO damage was done to it! It will cost about $30 to $100 to repaint it. Those men will never come back. They are dead! It makes me so sad and frustrated to read how you people argue about that building and not about those men that got killed. May God forgive each and every one of you, who care more about materialism instead of human beings. Rest in peace, Carlos "Bulto" Polanco. May God give acceptance to your mother and family!!!!! I'll never forget you!!!!!

What a tragic loss, yes. Unfortunately, these men were drinking and driving, resulting in a tragic loss to their families and friends by their own choice to do so. Now there are three lives taken and young children left behind because of a moment of "fun".

The problem here is in people thinking that their cultural background gives them the right to break laws and destroy other people's property. You ask people to respect your cultural rights of leaving memorials where a person has died, yet you do not show any respect for the rights of the property owner & others who must look at that grafitti all over the building and even ask the city to allow a memorial in that spot! The city would have no say in that, as it is private property and up to the building owner.

Furthermore, respect is a two way street - if you want someone to respect your rights and beliefs, you must also respect theirs. People today think they are entitled to something simply because they want it or think it is right regardless of how it impacts other people and their rights, which is not the case.

This is a tragedy. People are people whether they are black, white, hispanic, portuguese, yellow, purple or pink. Whether they are kids or adults. Three people died this week and that is sad. As for the building being painted, if that helps the families heal by posting messages at the scene, then I'm sure the owner would be patient with them for a short time. I bet these families will even offer to help repaint the building when that time comes (I would hope). Is it right to deface someone else's property? no. But given the pain the families are feeling I'm sure it's not as big of a deal as you are all making it. How about taking some of that energy and praying for the families of those involved .. the families who lost fathers, sons and brothers.

"These young men that got killed were fathers and husbands. Yes, it is tragic! But imagine their babies will NEVER know their fathers."

Maybe they should have thought of that before getting wasted and jumping in the 'cedes? Or is drinking and driving part of their 'culture' as well?

I would not want to be a part of the family of those who think that the building is more important than the lives that were lost.....you are self-centered people who have no feelings whatsoever.....lives were lost that can never ever be replaced not even with pictures....that stupid building will be there and can be repainted...so when you lose a family member don't bother to mourn since you obviously don't have any feelings.....I guess you will be worrying about the material things that they left behind.....i didn't know them but I am portuguese and proud and our culture is very family-oriented so i can symapthize with their pain....

Your culture is so family oriented that the fathers of numerous small children and infants got drunk and went cruising at high speed around Providence in a 2000 Mercedes Benz on a Friday night instead of tucking their kids in to bed and being with their families.

That's the kind of culture that we could certainly have LESS of.

You obviously dont know what went on that night and no one will ever know either.....whether white, black, portuguese or hispanic all cultures do it and have gone though it so you are obviously ignorant......PORTUGUESE are not the only ones that drink and drive....let me think..those white boys from BARRINGTON were killed last yr were drinking and although not parents they made the decision to drive too....there are plenty of other cultures and WHITE people that killed everyday from drinking and driving....you are just a jerk with no sympathy whatsover and probably think you are better than others.....wouldnt want to meet you becuase I would have a few words to you....and last time i checked my skin was white and even if it was another color like purple black or yellow its still lives lost.....NO CULTURE DESERVES wether it was a wrong decision or not....

I would not want to be part of a family that condones destruction of other people's property in the name of grief.

And before you go jumping down my throat, I have known such grief - my mother was killed by a drunk driver as she crossed the street in front of the house that my parents had purchased just months earlier.

We did not use that as an excuse to create a "memorial" to her by defacing the property on which the accident occurred (she was thrown into the parking lot of a small business in front of our house). Instead, we remembered her in other respectful ways, by keeping her memory alive in our hearts and knowing that she is watching over us, even 40 years later, by planting her favorite tea roses in the yard and visiting her grave site.

THAT is how we show respect for the deceased - keeping their memory alive without creating a mess that others will have to clean up!

I don't think it's an issue of black, white, brown or yellow, but instead one in which out-of-control behavior by people who should be acting like adults leads to this kind of thing. Of course, the dead were the passengers - only the driver had full control of the car. I hope he pays the price instead of being treated like a little boy who made a little mistake. But speaking as an adult, it seems that so much mayhem comes from the fact that nearly everyone under 30 thinks he or she is still a child, with no adult responsibility and no adult consequences. I see as many, if not more, white rich kids driving like fools, and killing themselves, and then having their friends weep and build memorials on the roadside. Where were those friends when they could have made a difference, such as trying to encourage them to stop acting self-destructively?

I am sorry for your loss but everyone grieves differently.....not every family grieves like yours.....people are different and thats what makes up the whole world.....I wouldnt want to be the same as the next person....pretty boring.....I understand where you are coming from....wether you grieve your way and others do differently it is still lives lost which NOONE (certainley not you or the families left behind)deserves......no matter how old they were and what decisions they made they will never be able to regret it and maybe teach everyone else from their mistakes.....

Yes, everyone grieves differently. That does not give anyone the right to deface other people's property in the name of grief. At some point, that wall is going to disappear - it is, after all, a business that needs to go on.

Put that energy into doing something positive in their memory: set up a fund for the children left behind, do something for the families in their time of sorrow, plant something living dedicated in their memory for family and friends to use as a visual memory, take the first step to reaching out to someone who needs a shoulder to cry on, or a hug to show you care rather than picking up a can of spray paint.

It doesnt give the right to deface(your words) anything but its done and I am sure it will be taken care of....are you going to complain about the trees and other sites that have been defaced(according to you)....get over it..its done and they are going to continue to do it.... since it bothers you sooo much then go and clean the property...you worry about the property and I will say a prayer for the family.....

Honsetly, why is it that EVERY ignorant poster here mentions the fact that these men were in a Mercedes? What difference does it make what car they were in? These young men lost their lives at a young age. Noone ever said it was right for them to do what they did. Noone is supporting the fact they were drinking and driving. H***, noone is supporting the fact that were speeding.

Regardless of the formetioned things, these men LOST THEIR LIVES. Whether the families and friends have spray painted the building is a miniscule thing to portrait to this loss. H***, i'd even donate the time and money to fix the building, as im SURE the FAMILIES would as well. When you lose someone you love, you do things without thinking. Its the way of life, its how people REACT to certain things. And thats how their families and friends did it.

When someone dies in a car accident and hits a pole what do people do? They decorate it with flowers and ribbons. What these people did was decorate this wall with kind words, forgivence, rememberance, and love, thats all. To people who didnt grow up in this life style, this is how us people do it. We make the best of the situation and show the people we lost how we love and will remember them

RIP Marco and Chris.

Good friends are lost.

i cant believe there are soo many racist people around what about if it was 4 whiteboys in a benz and 3 died all i know that white people are the ones that i see the most into drunk and drivin and doing criminal activity and cant stay out of jail

When are all Rhode Island drivers going to learn that speed kills! Driving through Providence on 95 is scary. Speed limits are posted at 50 m.p.h. but everyone is traveling at least 60-70mph. Why are Rhode Islanders in such a hurry?
Life is so short....slow down and set the example for the younger folks!

wow im really shocked reading all these comments about these kids.. im sure if it was one of your family members you wouldnt be talkin the same way 3 lives were killed an you guys are worryin about a d*** buildin that can be fixed.. people have different ways of expressin how they feel about the tragedy an how can everybody talk without knowin if they asked the owner before doin it? you guys sayin its not a tragedy they shouldnt of done it is the same as sayin its good they died . im sure your familys not perfect everyone does it they could of learned their lesson if it was a little crash but to end up dead is another thing. nobody should die for their mistakes..i feel bad for you guys cuz im sure gods watchin what your sayin an i hopee wen you pass away people say the same about u an dont care that you died let these people mourn about their loss its not even been a week give it time then u worry about a d*** building but for now let the familyy do what they want its not like theyre burnin the buildin down for the loss so people need to mind their business and growup seriously people are soo coldhearted an cruel.

RiP CHRiS && MARC00
U WiLL ALWAYS BE MiSSED

I can't believe that people are more worried about a building being painted, I guess since it's no one from your family you wouldn't care. We don't go to the site to grieve for the young men that died. We go there and remember the good times that we all had and at the same time think on how something this tragic could have happened. I guess everyone here forgets to remember that the three young men that died were passengers of the vehicle and not the driver. People talk with out knowing the facts, those young men had just left their homes from a cook out and saw a friend and decided to go for a ride. They were not trying to be dare devils. I'm not saying that the driver did not break any laws, by far he broke a few. And I believe that he should pay for his mistakes. But to sit there and put down the family and friends of the victims is just selfish. How would you feel if you were driving someone home who had a few drinks and you got into the accident and the passenger died, would you still feel the way that you do. It is very hard to lose a husband, father and son. The way that our culture knows how to deal with it is to go to the place of their death and remember that good things about them and at times we need other people to know what kind of people that the deceased were. And how do we do that is by writing things about them. And for the owners of the building, hopefully they understand the kind of pain that the family and friends of the victims are going through and decide to leave the memories of the victims there at least for the time being. And last I checked I don't think that someone will become poor for dishing out about $100 in paint.

The two portuguese passengers had just entered the vehicle only 15 minutes prior to the accident. They were both married with children, and one of the wives is expecting another child. And it just goes to show you how precious life is, one moment everything is fine and the next everything can be taken away from you. God works in mysterious ways, they say the good die young. And he took two of the best, who were hard working fathers, husbands and sons. They worked very hard for what they had. America is a wonderful country, everyone has the right to freedom of speech but at times you should know when to speak. And remember to only pass judgment on facts and not hearsay. And as far as the memorial that stands for them, the words on the wall are written by hundreds of people. Each message contains words from everyone’s heart. The words can be painted over but that area will never be forgotten. RIP Marco and Chris.

I was utterly disgusted reading what ignorance presides in this soiciety. I happen to be a family friend of the young man who was driving the vehicle. It is very sad that such cruelty exists among peole. Like every one of us, yes these men made a bad choice which unfortunately cost them their lives, however it is ignorant to sit back and say that they got what they deserved. A life is a valuable thing and when it is lost it is truly a sad concept to grasp. These young men have families, friends, and even children of thier own. It is sad to think that their lives were cut so short and even sadder that thier families will never be able to share another simnple laugh with them. And with reference to the person who was driving the car...it is extremely difficult for someone to live with something so severe on thier conscience for the rest of his life especially since it was unintentional. My prayers go out to him because he lost three of his very good friends. Now, to the person who made a comment about the men being hispanic...To begin two of the men who died were Portuguese. I also happen to be hispanic and it is quite possible for someone to be struggling and have nice possessions. You work hard, struggle, so that in the end you can have all the beauties life has to offer. If you walk up the street from the scene of the accident you will see the dominiance of the hispanic culture on Broad St. Those individuals struggled to get here and to become established in a place where the dominiance of the white man is grand. However, those people have something to show whether it be a nice 2006 mercedes or a home of thier own. The ignorance and prejudice needs to stop. Also with regards to the ABANDONED building, the owner obviously does not care if it is abandoned. How many trees and highways do we see with memorials set up in predominately white areas and yet we do not go public to speak about it...so if people decide that this is the way they wish to remember these young men then so be it. I am appalled by the disgraceful comments made by some people. It was lives of human beings that were taken not animals. My thoughts and sincerest prayers go out to those who knew the young men who lost thier lives. I would also like to take time and say to the family of Jose that things will get better and that you and Jose will be in my prayers. Jose lived for a reason...God has a purpose for him...the memory of those no longer living will be lived on through him. Keep your head up, everything will work out. You are all in my prayers and I pray that the ignorance dies because thats what truly deserves to be dead.

I can believe the rude comments people saying they deserve what they got. Like i am sure all you people are all innocent like you never drank and drove. who cares about the building it can be painted over. I grew up with Marco he was a funny person and he loved his family. I will miss him very much. R.I.P. MARCO...

I think the person who is writing all the ignorant things is just trying to get people upset and it worked. you just have to ignore ignorance. Its just hard to believe in 2006 there is still prejudice people in the world. My love and prayers goes out to the families of this tragic accident. May you all rest in peace. Marcos, Chris, and Carlos

If I was the owner of the building, I would paint over that crap and have anyone arrested who trespassed.

These were not "kids" who died, but grown men. Stop drinking & driving and get a life!!

It sucks that they died, but leaving nonsense on the side of the building is ghetto.

Culture has nothing to do with it, you want to set up a memorial fine, but use common sense! Get over yourselves, there are many different ways to make a memorial for people that have died than to use spray paint. You want to talk about being selfish, yes it is tragic what happened to those MEN however the world does not stop because of it. Accidents like that unfortunately happen all the time all over the world. Who cares if it was an abandoned building or not, it wasn't their building to vandalize.

To all the small minded people who care more about a brick building than any life being lost has no heart, no empathy and is a racist. Those men killed paid the ultimate punishment...DEATH!
I live in South Prov and over here we are ghetto and we do things differently and if you can't respect or understand peoples' differences in anyway then you are close-minded on a global level because people all over the world mourn in many different ways. Judge not till you judge yourself. Have empathy for all the people suffering all over the world. People homeless, starving, war stricken and think how lucky you are to have a hot shower everyday and how cold'hearted you are for judging the dead and those who are mourning.

I think that thats so sad wat happen in that car aacident i didnt know them but my uncle chulo and lenz all the young people are dying mad young i dont know why but if god wanted to take them god knows why?r.i.p chris carlos and marcos

Give me a break, it has absolutely nothing to with coming from the ghetto! I think it is very sad what happened to those men, and I have no problem with them being remembered. I also do not have a problem with friends and family creating a memorial for the dead, however respect goes both ways here. If an accident happened where someone drove into your yard and hit your house how would you feel if people spray painted your house? Also, race has nothing to do with it, I don't care who you are or where you come from, it has nothing to do with it. It is a repect and common sense issue here. I grew up in the ghetto as well, I have a great deal of empathy for those who suffer. It is not about caring more for a building, it is understanding that you are still, hopefully, a productive member of society and a community and you need to respect people and property.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of those 3 young men who didn't deserve to die.

Some people seem to not think before they speak. I understand waht some of you are saying about the building and about the young men drinking, but is death what they deserved? So if one of you decides to drink and drive you deserve to die? If your son/daughter no matter what age they are, they deserve to die?
Those "children" that died in that accident in Barrington deserved to die? No because they were WHITE "children" Since when is an 18 year old that decides to drink called a "child". That is illegal for a minor to drink. Where were the parents in this picture?

If these young men were white, it would be OK to put up flowers and signs right?

I am not saying that it is correct to drink and drive, but what I am saying is that forget what car they were driving, and what color they were, they passed away and the least some of you ignorant people could do is be quiet and show some respect for those loved ones left behind!!

May they rest in peace!

this is for the men that passed: regardless of all the drama surronding your sad and unfortunate deaths, remember that you were all truely loved and the only people complaining and bickering are the selfish ones who will never have a chance to meet you. i hate how even in the mist of death, there are people out there who would really complain over a memorial site. to bad for them and there stupid building. i hope you all rest in peace, peacefully...
