Funeral One Day After Investigators Say The Killing Is Justifiable [Ja'Quares Walker]

BIRMINGHAM - AL -

Family and friends are in mourning, the funeral service was held at Living Stone Temple church, community members tell me they're not too happy that no arrests have been made.

During the service, Walkers family was overcome with emotion during the ceremony and had to step outside. Many mourners wore red, black and white t-shirts with walker's picture saying "In loving memory of Tez".

Dr. Al B. Sutton Jr. led a sermon preaching out the book of mark and had a direct message to young adults as well as the parents in the building. "Our son's, our daughters, if you want another chance, if you want another shot, our hope is in Christ. We as parents must be the guardians, we got to make sure that our children stay in a safe space, we got to make sure that our children are hedged in," says Sutton.

Walker was killed during a robbery attempt last week. Investigators say they received information that walker approached a car and told the driver to get out of the car. The driver then pulled out a handgun and shot the 13 year old.

Investigators determined that this case is justifiable, so no arrest or charges have been made in this case.

Meanwhile, friends and family gather as they say Ja'Quares Walker will be missed. Ja'Quares Walker was later buried at Zion Memorial Gardens.

This is a follow-up to a Trayvon-type story posted here on FR last week. Purportedly, the driver who shot the teen is white, and was dropping off his girlfriend at her apartment. The mother (of course) blames everyone but her son and herself and commented last week in an interview that the driver who was approached and threatened with a loaded firearm should have noticed (even with the t-shirt around his head) that Ja'quares was "only a little boy". Turns out her son was involved with a local gang (links in the earlier article referenced).

Just reading the story you would never know that this kid had a loaded, cocked handgun IN HIS HAND when he ordered the victim out of the car.

His age cuts absolutely no ice in that situation. If I am carrying a gun and someone points a gun at me, I am not going to wait to see if he’s bluffing or not, he’s going down.

One can only wonder how many other crimes society has been spared by the justifiable killing of this low life.

Kill them early and the crime rate will eventually go down.

I once read where shrinks had concluded that vast majority of kids given such names will become criminals

The preacher got it right, at least in this quote. Hope the rest of the sermon was consistent, and that those in attendance got the right message.

I wonder if mom has submitted and trademark or copyright applications? Where’s the Right Reverend Al, of the Hate, Race Baiting and Hypocrisy Church, to insist on the rights of the common criminal?

"Where do these people come up with the names for their kids?'

"Ja'Quares" must be "Ebonics" for "I want to kill or be killed." The choice is left to his victims.

Oprah, or so the story goes, was supposed to be named Opar, but the spelling wasn’t correct due to the name’s pronunciation when originally recorded.

Got to watch those southern drawls.

Will this case also be “reopened” to appease the mob?

So they get trayvoned when they attack someone and the parents can’t see their part in the outcome.

"Ja'quares was "only a little boy"?

I don't care if they're 6 years old, I'm not going to let them get a shot at me.

How about this message? "Y'all don't be jackin' no cars now, ya hear?"?

The church and Tez’s family failed Tez. They should have taught him that stealing is wrong.
