" In this life one does not have to look for trouble or misfortune, it will find you. When a loved one's life is taken by another for all the wrong reasons and its always wrong to take a life except in self-defence, it leaves a void in those who are left behind forever.

Theres no closer, there isn't any understanding, as to why we as human beings look to murder one another.
Its a darkness of the heart when we take a life, and all to often the victim becomes blamed for their own deaths. "

" sorry mr knight but there is no animosity just facts and who really cares how long those camera men were there. my god there was a murder done in that home which is why they were there and im sorry but its something i cant let go or forgive for it will never bring my nephew back and no trust me it wont eat me alive for i am a very strong woman with family & great friends that will help us get thru this "

" Thats Mr Knight Auntie ... I sorry for your family lossbut you missed the point. KBAK was there most of the day (you could tell by the sun's positioning and later darkness falling)with their camera fixed on the girls place. So ... in turn we are not supposed to feel sorry for you if we see the same camera fixed on your residence? Whatever animosity you have to this young lady you need to let it go. Forgive or it will eat you alive. "

" Little Ruben, i can't forget all the summers we waited for u to come down to oxnard. Bugging your grandma Julia everyday to ask if u were in town. It sucks to know that i will never see u again but u will always be remembered in the 805. RIP LITTLE RUBEN! "

" im sorry mr wright i feel nothing for that girl i personally talked to her the following day and she was not the least bit traumitized didnt shed 1 tear hmmmm we as his family havent stopped crying over the death of are nephew so yea i dont feel sorry for her one bit "




Larry Knight wrote on Feb 10, 2012 10:26 PM:

" I watched the video clip of the KBAK reporter 'terrorizing' the young woman who was obviously traumatized by her boyfriend's death. She rolled into their tripod and will most likely be charged with some type of assault charge. The reporter and cameraman were wrong for bein there! I personally called the station to voice my displeasure to their kind of 'tabloid journalism' and you could clearly see the camera was there in two different spots throught a better part of the day. Shame on KBAK for provoking this woman into her action. "

" Robbin, grandfather or not what he did was disgusting, nobody in they're right mind would do what he did to ruben, someone who is capable of that obviously needs mental help or to be locked up, honestly if it was up to me I would give him the death penalty, I think people would agree with me, I did NOT say he was a pedafile. I said that my fiance and I witnessed him talking to little girls at the bustop, please don't put words in my mouth, thanks. "

" I am not making a statement that all welfare recipients use meth, however, meth use by nature and its level of addictability often lead to poor life decisions. I have witnessed the downfall of people who have become addicted (the ease of which is not arguable), and the outcome was dreadful. Regardless, why NOT drug test them?? I am a goverment employee, paid by the goverment and accountable to random drug testing. Shouldn't welfare recipients be treated the same?? "

" He plead not-guilty to first degree murder! Not really surprising sense first degree shows both there was intent and preplanning. I suspect that this will plead down to reckless homicide or manslaughter...with some sort of added charges for trying to hide the kids death. Personally I hope they get him for the highest crime they can because regardless of intent; he never called for help! "

" You seriously think that everyone on govt assistance uses drugs and that NO ONE who has a job doesn't? Get real....meth is not a socio-economic problem it's a societal one and there are drug problem everywhere. What makes you think you live in utopia? Geez..... "

" I am sick and tired of all these scumbags in the valley! We need to clean up this place, there is way to many drugs and low life leech off the system do nothings. There was a time when small towns were nice places to retire, now it seems they are infested with meth and social trash. I make no implications of drug use regarding this case- simply making a general statement about the growing condition of our town. We need to random drug test welfare recipients- if you can afford to buy meth, you shouldn't be on gov assistance. "

" an "everyday fist fight"? get real. everyday fist fights don't result in the death of an indivigual. human life is precious and should be protected at all costs, not taken through acts of violence. you should be ashamed ofyourself for defending this animal. "




Aresponsetorobbin wrote on Feb 1, 2012 11:04 AM:

" @ Robbin a forum where this young man's family and friends are posting is not an appropriate place to mount a defense. The Californian has an article with his confession and while he may or may not have meant to kill this young man...this was not an accident. What's more is when he realized the kid was seriously hurt...Why didn't he call for help? Do CPR? Try and save him? If this was a fight that got out hand; then he should of righted the wrong! "

" I truly am sorry for the loss of your loved one, but the truth is that this tragic event was an everyday fist fight over some stupid broad that played one against the other. I wish you understood the man that carries the guilt for the way this ended. He is a father and grandfather, life dealt them both bad hands. "

" Dan, You are so full of it. I know the guy arrested and a pedifile he is not. People like you should not be quick to judge less you be judged. He has 3 kids of his own and grand children that mean the world to him. I am sorry for the family of the victom but you all need to know facts before you bring out the rope. "
