    Kenny was a childhood friend of mine. I went to elementary and 2 years of high school with him until Katrina, then he moved to Alexandria and I moved up here. I used to go to his house in the barracks when we lived out in chalmette. He was a good friend, soldier, and an all around great guy that was willing to help anybody out. It saddens me that some people can really be that cruel and do something to someone like Kenny.

    Whats the story on this?

    Sorry to hear about your friend but are there any suspects as yet? Any motive for his death?

    Nothing yet.

    My friends roommate is in critical care. The 3rd roommate came back and found them in the house and made the call to 911.

    Dave, I went to high school with Kenny. I can't believe this. This is two friends gone in three weeks time.

    Kenny was such a nice guy. I'm in shock.

    I still believe that immediate, PUBLIC punishment would help to maybe, just maybe, stop most of the violent crime. Public hanging should be the norm. Once convicted the punishment should be carried out in 3 days, in public.

    So sorry for your loss Dave. My prayers go out to you and his family and friends.

    I'm glad they got the SOBs.

    I'm still in shock that Kenny is gone. He was the nicest guy in the world. Always smiling and laughing; he never had a bad thing to say about anyone.

    I'll never forget this one time in PE freshman year. Kenny was in 8th grade, and there was this sophomore asshat who thought he was so hard. He started pushing on Kenny, trying to taunt him into a fight. In about 2 seconds flat, Kenny dropped his ass, locked him down on the ground, and applied a submission hold. Kenny, while smiling, quietly asked him, "You gonna stop now?"

    RIP man.
