Talk:Deltona massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I literally tripped over this page and had no idea it existed. While there is 'something' nice about it existing, the focus was heavily on the attackers and not on the victims. Tito was a friend, and I'm only one of many. I rearranged the page to focus on the human loss, and not the lives of the people who savagely murdered these defenseless victims.

I encourage everyone who suffered at the hands of these criminals to help make the toll of their actions clear by posting similar information to what we've started for Tito.

I couldn't believe it when I came across this page. I knew Tito too, and I just had to add to what you wrote, because he knew alot of people both in and out of Inwood whose lives he touched in the deepest ways. While your paragraph was touching, I thought that what I added would show the depth of the wounds we all suffered when his life was ripped out of him. He will never be forgotten, and will always be loved.

@Boop: no question that that he was a great guy, and a great loss. I can only speak for him from his days uptown, but there's no doubt he was a great person everywhere. Now how do we get those newspapers to change the pictures they are using, he looks worse than the criminals. -jay —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jherrero (talk • contribs) 15:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

i would think that at this point, it's too late because they are not really publishing anything on this horrendous crime anymore now that the perps are behind bars and the trial is over...i would think though that before the anniversary, in case they ARE planning to print anything, that if his loved ones would write all of the Orlando area papers, and send them better pics of him to print, maybe they'll take our heartfelt words into account and use at least one of those pics instead of that disgusting pic they put of him in the Daytona News Journal and Orlando Sentinel. - Boop —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bettyboop1774 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] @jay

I emailed a couple of pics that I got when i went to his funeral, to the Daytona News Journal, and asked that they replace that mugshot looking pic of him...hopefully they will take care of it...other than those two pics,the only pics i have of him are hard copy and pics of him with me, so I figured those wouldn't be appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bettyboop1774 (talk • contribs) 23:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
