Week 5- Jennifer Hudson's Relatives Killed

The article I read was about the deaths of Jennifer Hudson's mom, brother, and nephew. It was said that Jennifer's nephew, Julian, had been reported missing since Friday morning, and was later found dead in an white SUV. Along with Julian, Jennifer's mother and brother were found shot to death in Ms. Donerson's (Jennifer's mom) home. Many of the details of this case have not been released to the public yet, which could be a good thing. This event is most definitely tragic for Jennifer, and many others. I too think this is terrible, because from what every one who knew the Hudson family, said that they were all wholesome, polite, and hard working people. Personally I feel that people who lead lives like the Hudson's don't deserve such a gruesome ending to their lives, unfortunately that isn't always the case. The fact that most of the details of this case haven't been released is a good thing because then the public doesn't have as much to talk about. The public has already blown this story up and told as much as they possibly can, but for the sake of The Hudson family, keeping most of the detail secret would be in their best interest so that the media can say what's wanted and then move on. The reason I choose this article is because now a days it seems like murders are happening all the time. Most of the people killed in these murders did nothing to deserve this fate, and these murders just cause problems and grief for the families and friends of the deceased. This obviously isn't the most important issue in our country right now, but it still has importance and needs to be discussed so that we can find a solution.

I heard about this the other day, it is terrible! It raises many questions for all of us. Should people (like the suspected killer) be released from jail and not a kept close watch on? It makes think about it and realize that there is a possibility that none of this would have happened if the man was still in jail. Another point I would like to bring up is that things like this happen everyday to people all over the world; and yet Jennifer Hudson's issue seems to get much more concern than other families who have the same injustice (or sometimes more) happen to them.

Oh my Goodness, that is horrible. I hadn't heard about this and I am horrified. PErsonally, I can't imagine what the Hudsons could have done to justify ofr even explain this. Commenting on Makenzie's comment; Do the police know the killer? Or do we know if they have suspects? I think that because this is happening to Jennifer Hudso is a kind of eye opener. For me celebrities don;t seem to have families but hearing about the death of many of her close relatives is a shocker. I feel horribly for Jennifer and her family as nothing can be more devastating than the loss of family and loved ones. I hope the police find whoever is doing this and put an end to this immediately.

Wow, I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like (nor do I want to). It's a tragedy. And what's worse is that because of her fame, going through the grieving process isn't going to be easy. There will probably be people everywhere who want to interview her, or take her picture, just because of this. It's a hard enough situation already. I also what reason the killer could possibly have for murdering these people.

This is such a sad story. I happen to be a fan of Jennifer Hudson, and i'm very sorry to hear about this. I agree that they should keep details away from the public, because like you said, it keeps the gossip down. Good work!-Andrea L.
