They were just kids doing some really dumb stuff. I feel so bad for their mothers.

Love that he will be staying in jail. Atkins is a danger to the community. It is about time. Do you know if they played all of the snaps in court?

The boy's behavior is not responsible for the actions of these horrible, torturing killers. I don't think you are trying imply that they are responsible but it has frustrated me to no end that the media always describes the situation as a drug deal gone bad rather than focusing on the terror that the murderous monsters have been visiting upon the students and young people in the community. If it wasn't Ahmed and Collin, it would have been someone else's kids because this is the kind of control these people have been asserting in this community.

What I was trying to say is that they were just kids doing dumb stuff, this level of violence doesn't make any sense to me. They were just kids. The adults that killed them are the ones responsible for their deaths, that's for sure. I said that I feel sorry for their mothers because they lost their children and it seems like they were trying really hard to protect them and to get those boys on the right track again. It's really sad.

Ok this links says all 4 I was able to read it somehow omg I’m in tears that article was horrifying. His poor momma in court

The article says that a man stared at her and it was Atkins’ father mean muggin her.

Goldman’s father has his nerve attending the hearing knowing they know he torched the car. #raaage

Thank you for the article. I was able to read the article. The terror and humiliation that these young men suffered at the hands of these monsters is beyond belief---- more horror movie-like than not. I am astounded that their families have participated in the cover up and are trying to intimidate the mother/mothers. I hope justice is swift. On one hand, I hope they plead out because to have what they did be played out in front these poor families will be horrifying. On the other, it needs to be clear to the people of Albuquerque what is happening to young people at the hands of the bullies/gangs/dealers in their community.

Agreed! Monsters! Positively ghoulish. No regard for human life. Poor babies

Maybe i dont get it, but how is this connected to this case?
From the article:
The girl told deputies her “memory of the evening fades” once they got to the house party, except that someone shot a gun and Albuquerque police showed up.

It was the same house party where Stephen Goldman Jr., 20, and Jimmie Atkins, 23, allegedly robbed two young men at gunpoint and shot at one of them, according to Albuquerque police. Both Goldman and Atkins have been implicated by police in the kidnapping, torture and slaying of two teenagers over a drug deal a month later.

Wow - this is horrible. I wonder if they shot the video on their phone and then used snapchat to send the video rather than a live snapchat video? I'm curious about the recovery of the video if it was a live snapchat. How terrible for these families - JMO

no, they used the victim's own snap accounts and posted them and their phones have never been recovered. it took a long time for snapchat to release the videos.

there were some who adamantly said that you cant recover snaps and this case proved them wrong, unless someone turned it over, but LE has not said.

I'm wondering wth is taking so long to charge these pukes.
