On here, and another site, i would like to start up a collection fund via paypal, that his family can use in this time of need, especially in these times. Robbie is there any way to find out contact info or an email address to his family? No rush and dont pry on them like you said, but we are a family here, and when something happens, we are here to help. It seems like that is the only kind of help other than prayers we can offer at this time.

I think they're setting one up on PSN as well. I like to see a love offering from as many people as possible. If Robbie get's us the info here, I think that would be great as well.

I have been beside myself all day today, not really having motivation to do much anything, and even two guys that work for me noticed something was wrong. This idiot who took Jet's life probably never thought how many (thousand) people he was going to affect.
Its amazing to think of it that way... We are family here and if theres is anything i can do to help i will! No one deserves to go through something like this! Especially during the holidays...
Please inform his family of the support he has here in our electronic world called FTE!

It's bible study night tonight for our largest congregation... Some 5,000+ will be praying for his family here on the Central Coast.

My mom just sent this to me and it hit me like a ton of bricks... This is a 6 year old girl singing...

Prayer is a powerful tool.

Good job, bro.

Sad to say, I didn't get to know Jet. I recognize his user name, but that's about it. I guess it's understandeable, since I spent most of my FTE time in the Lightning and Excursion forum, only peeking in here every-so-often.

That's changed over the past couple months, but not soon enough to get to know a man you guys speak very highly of.

My prayers go out to his family.

Stewart

What a talented little girl. We are all given special talents and singing sure is hers. That song was beautiful and brightened my morning.

This is definitely not something I wanted to hear... I only "spoke" with him briefly here on the forums, but he seemed like a real genuine guy, and always willing to help where he could. Thoughts go out to his friends and family...

165000 chickens
I simply can't fathom repoing 165k chickens,I believe once crated would be 6 trailer loads
With 3 men dead and 9 survivers it seems to be more than just a shooting
It really bothers me for a young mans life being taken and youg children without a father

Agreed! With that kind of "article" to be re-possessed, it isn't like they were there in stealth.

With a crew of twelve on the property, the shooter knew exactly why they were there, and still killed them intentionally.

What "degree" does THAT make it?

Pop, I think that would come down a trial. Trying to determine if it was premeditated or not...did the farmer know they were going to be there and plan to kill them - first degree, did he just shoot them on the spot all of a sudden with the intent to kill but not planned ahead of time - second degree, or did he just intend to harm them but not actually kill them - third degree. Determining intent...tough thing to do.

All the repo men i know carry guns! I know Jet did too. The farmer must of had a automatic weapon to take them out without getting shot.
