I once was a student at Hopkins High School in Michigan and Mr.Cox was our choir teacher there before he moved to Las Vegas for the teaching job that he was offered. I remember when he told us that he was leaving. All the choir students were huddled around him and he broke the news. Some of us cried and we all were devastated. I remember the way it felt when I realized that he was going to leave us. It killed, but now he is gone forever. That hurts worse. I know that all the students here at Hopkins wish that he will rest in peace. Most of us stopped attending choir class after he left because our passion for it was lost due to losing Mr.Cox. Now I hope, for Mr.Cox' memory, that the passion can restored, spread, and continued on in the hearts of all of us.
I know that Mr.Cox would not want us to point fingers of this tragedy on a single race. Satan lives in all of us and for one person to open up and say that it is a single races fault, is ignorant to the truth of our society. Here in Michigan along with any other state is slowly degrading due to the blame that people put on eachother. This crime was not committed because of the color of someones skin or because of where they were born, it was because of hate, and misjudgment, and bishop666, hate and misjudgment is all that you are spreading here. Mr.Cox was my choir teacher for three years and I know him well enough to know, that he would love a Mexican just as much as he would love a Caucasian.
He knows that this was not because of race but because of the ignorance of two young men. And if you continue to speak the way you do, a crime could be committed due to your unfair teachings, (I am talking to you bishop666)
