    Free Corey B. :-( I miss the kid.. Smh.. I hate that it had to be him..

  • Justice Should Be Served - 12 years ago

    First off, let me address the comments made by @madblackcousin. Your cousin Corey deserves to die for what he did, plain and simple. It does not matter that other murders have not been solved and it does not matter that he has no prior criminal history. We are addressing the crime that he did commit and he must pay for his actions.

    The McMillan's served the Glades for years, offering credit for basic items like bread and milk to poor black families who would have been turned down anywhere else. Jimmy was a giver to the community and Corey was a taker. The reason many of the murders in the Glades have not been solved have nothing to do with color. Many of the murders are gang related and are not solved because of your communities no snitching policy. I think it says a lot that when a white man is killed in Belle Glade and the killer is caught within a week due to community support because he served that community so well. Plain and simple Corey did not have to rob the store that night and did not have to shoot Jimmy. I pray to God that Corey's life is taken for what he did. In criminal justice there are two trains of thought on deterrence. General deterrence is where a punishment will prevent other people from committing that crmie. Specific deterrence is where the individual being punished will never have a chance to commit that crime again. Let's not give Corey the satisfaction of breathing air that is too good for him.

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    If you do the crime you do the crime simple as that. I'm sure he prepared himself to do that crime so stupid if he didn't why would he have a gun and dressed the way he was?! I don't give a fuck who's offended.

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    Sorry @black mad cousin this has nothing to do with race and it's the people in Belle Glade job to fix up the city. The mayors only steal the money or keep it for themselves instead of making the city better.

  • MAD BLACK COUSIN - 12 years ago

    FIRST OF ALL IM COREY JR'S COUSIN IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM AS THOUGH HE SLAYED THE MAN. PALM BEACH COUNTY IN THE PAST 2YEARS HAVE HAD OVER 10 OR MORE UNDERSOLVED MURDERS, I HAVENT SEEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT PUT UP 25,00 FOR OTHER MURDER CASES. MY CONDOLENCES GOES OUT TO THE MAN'S FAMILY ,BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO'S LOST THEIR LIFE. THEY MEANT SOMETHING TO THEIR LOVED ONE THEY HAVE NO TYPE OF CLOSURE .NOW AND I DO USE THIS LOOSELY THAT A WHITE MAN HAS BEEN KILLED YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WANT TO HANG MY COUSIN. HE HAS NO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND,I UNDERSTAND HE MADE A FOOLISH CHOICE BUT HE DOESNT DESERVE TO DIE. IM SO OUTRAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE JUST AS WELL AS THEY PUT UP 25,00 FOR THIS MAN'S MURDER WHY DONT THEY CLEAN UP THE STREETS OF BELLE GLADE, OFFER ACTIVITIES FOR THE YOUNG COMMUNITY?LET ME BE THE FIRST TO ANSWER THAT BECAUSE THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BLACKS IN THEIR EYES WE'RE ALL IGNORANT ,UNEDUCATED GHETTO,THUGS & FEMALES AND DONT CARE IF WE KILL UP ONE ANOTHER OR NOT . JUST FIND THIS VERY RACIAL BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HUNG IN BELLE GLADE EVEN AFTER SLAVERY DAYS BUT THE FUCKING COPS DIDNT GIVE A DAMN .TO ALL MY BLACKS STOP BEING ANOTHER STATISTICS, ONLY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SLAVERY DAYS AND NOW IS THAT WE BLACKS ARE KILLING ONE ANOTHER SO WHAT WE FAIL TO REALIZE IS EVERYTHING WE DO NOW WILL ONE DAY EFFECT OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN. IM NOT SAYING THIS MAN DESERVED TO DIE BECAUSE HE WAS A GOOD MAN,BUT CEECEE DOESNT DESERVE THE DEATH PENALTY ,JUST AS JIMMY FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH IT SO IS OUR FAMILY. WE ALL ARE SINNERS IN GOD'S EYES NO SIN IS BIGGER THAN ANOTHER AND HE STILL FORGIVES US ALL. AND JUST AS YOU SIT AND TRY TO DICTATE RATHER HE DESERVES TO DIE OR NOT ONE DAY YOU WILL STAND BEFORE OUR GOD AND BE JUDGE BY THE FINAL JUDGE. WE ALL HAVE NO PLACE IN LIFE TO JUDGE RATHER LIFE SHOUD BE TAKEN FROM ANOTHER JUST AS WELL AS COREY DIDNT HAVE THAT RIGHT. I PRAY THAT HE HAS ALREADY ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE HIM , HE HAS A PRAYING FAMILY WHO PRAYS THAT GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL.IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE CALLING HIM A THUG BECAUSE THATS OUTSIDE OF HIS CHARACTER HE JUST AS WE ALL DO MADE A MISTAKE ,BUT IN THIS CASE CAUSED A MAN TO LOSE HIS LIFE.IM PRETTY SURE IF THIS WAS A BLACK ON BLACK CRIME THIS WOULDNT EVEN BE A TOPIC BUT JUST BECAUSE ITS BLACK ON WHITE ITS A BIG FUCKING DEAL? IM PRETTY SURE IF THINGS WERE TURNED AROUND IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED SELF-DEFENSE OR JUST MURDER NO DEATH PENALTY OR NONE OF THIS BULL. SOCIETY IS A VERY FUCKED UP PLACE. WE WERE NOT RAISED TO KILL OTHERS I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH CEECEE HEAD BUT IM ALMOST CERTAIN HE DIDNT GO IN THERE TO KILL THAT MAN . I JUST PRAY THAT GOD BE WITH US IN OUR TIME OF PAIN AND MISUNDERSTANDING JUST AS WELL AS HE BE WITH THE MCMILLAN'S FAMILY. AND WE ALL ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OWN OPINIONS,BUT REGARDLESS OF IT GOD HAS THE LAST SAY SO. TO ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE GOD IS A FOGIVING GOD PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF NEED SIGNED A MAD BLACK COUSIN XOXOXOXO.

  • Beauty - 12 years ago

    Lil Corey is my younger cousin and he definitely was not raised in this manner. We were taught to love and to give. He obviously made a bad decision that costs someone their life. I am not saying what he did is right but he does deserve a second chance. Hes a great kid with much potential who had a future ahead of him. He is not a habitual offender or some kid with a lengthy arrest record. The death penalty isnt even an option because we serve a mighty God. If i wasnt trying to get my life together i would really tell some of yall folks what i really think about yall and the comments you left. God is forgiving and merciful. People kill me how they have the nerves to ask God for forgiveness for their many mess ups, mishaps, wrong doings and sins, yet they dont know how to forgive people. My dad was taken from me when i was 3 years old.....shot and left to die, his killer served 15 years....................

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    I don't care about the killer they might give him life in prison if they don't kill him.

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    I said God forgives and I never said anyone should forgive him.

  • Not so Liberal - 12 years ago

    Leathal Injection, Get it. If you can't live with others then you shouldn't live at all, white , black ,brown or whatever. I'm sick of forgive and forget, if you want to forgive so much, then you bring him home, see how that works for you.

    God forgives,but on earth you pay for your crime whether you're in prison or you get killed in the streets. This has nothing to do with race.

  • Fly - 12 years ago

    Fuk day races junk yeah he made a mistake let da man live ....free ceecee
    If god give second chance den dnt judge him

  • 561 - 12 years ago

    Omg I Can't Believe What Half Of You People Are Saying , Yes Corey Made A Huge Mistake But I Don't Think That It Should Result In Him Getting The Death Penalty.. He's Only 19 Life In Prison I Think We Be Enough Justice For Mr.McMillian Family, I Still Say That The Police Force & Also The Cheif Of Police & Everyone Who Is Allfilated In The Law Are Races Some Of Them Be Happy If A Black Man Kill Another Black Man I Have Heard A Officer Say "One Less Nigga We Have To Kill" This Is A Dirty World We Live In And Black People Need To Stop Killing Each Other And Stick Together..

  • Confused/angry - 12 years ago

    Death is not a punishment - let him sit in prison for the rest of his life. I'm sorry but both families are grieving. When another black takes another black life they do think about the Death Penalty!

  • Val - 12 years ago

    My heart has been heavy over this issue yes this Corey made a major mistake but I truly don't feel the death penalty should be an option it will not bring Jimmy back and it's not going to change the hurt either family will endure there will be nothing worse than Corey sitting in that cell daily reliving what a terrible choice he made that day Erica and Corey my heart and prayers go out to you stay in prayer and God will guide you through .

  • Ma'Graham :-) - 12 years ago

    The devil is busy.. He used Corey to do his dirty work but never showed Corey the outcome of the situation.. I don't think the should kill him because just like us all he needs Jesus.. Let God deal with him.. I believe that death will only make matters worse.. Corey knows nothing about the law.. I'm sure if he knew that were going to kill him he wouldn't have done it... I love you baby keep ya head up..

  • a mad black woman - 12 years ago

    Folks the sheriff dept. Put up the reward money, not his family his sister even thanks the sheriff dept. Mr. Jimmy was a good man and fir the act Corey was a desperate man, truth is Mr. Jimmy is free, now Corey is bound with the guilt. That alone will eat away at him for a lifetime, families are hurt here. And I applaud Corey family for there dignity knowing there son and family would be persucuted, the Lord is going to be with that family cause they stood up for rightousness sake, mr. Jimmy family sad, but im sure they geateful for the young man parents, too. He is going to get life in prison I know already know cause rightful folks are praying, white folks yall have slave, rape, beat, hung, and killed black folks, taught blacks to hate their selves yall better, but i tell you this your grand daddies love my black grandma more than your grandmammy. And all yallchildren suck black women titties which is blood. And white men still lust black women, so respect us cause black people put the flavor in salt OK.

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    PBSO loves black on black crimes because they want all blacks to harm each other that's why they don't try to solve the crimes smh. They will solve a white on white crime or a black on white crime in a heart beat. They should have a riot in Belle Glade things will get better. Blacks needs to stop killing each other the only race that harm each other smfh do better and everything isn't about the color of your skin.

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    Things could have been prevented smh he deserves everything he gets.

  • Shantae - 12 years ago

    I fill like justice have been served there is no need to take Corey life.

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    Money talks and bullshit walks he might get life,but I know he's getting a long time.

  • kisha - 12 years ago

    People of God their are two families hurting here I don't think it will be solving anything to take this young man life. Yes he made a stupid mistake by killing Mr. Jimmy but killing him will be putting his family in much more pain then what they are already going through. Lil Cory came from a respectable and Loving family as well. He made a bad choice that he has to deal with for the rest of his life. If God can forgive us all the things we have done in our life why not forgive him. Judge ye not. The same judge you judge someone it will come back on you. Can we all just get Along

  • Diva101 - 12 years ago

    Corey made a mistake if y'all read the article ... He shot the man because jimmy held the gun . Everybody makes mistake but unfortunately this mistake might cause Corey the rest of his life in prison . Most likely he is going to get life because he has multiple charges but pray pray pray pray . I'm sure he regrets doing this but everything happens for a reason & the same way the found the murderer of mr jimmy they need to find the killers of these young people that are getting shot in the street because their family would also like justice , just because they don't have money for a reward don't mean they don't want to know their child killer. R.i.p mr jimmy & free Corey .

  • 7 - 12 years ago

    I don't give a fuck about Corey and I don't know him. Rip Jimmy I believe Corey should get punish for this crime,but death penalty isn't going to solve nothing. PBSO needs to find out who killed my cousin Bj the ignorant people in Muck City knows. I don't believe in that no snitch bullshit either. I don't think this death penalty charge is about blacks on whites it is what it is fuck all y'all,but some whites do get treated better than some blacks.

  • neka - 12 years ago

    And little that the whites know the Blacks from back then and the Blacks now are different we are ready for u racists prejudice Bitches yall need to cut it out because Mr.jimmy Death brung out a lot of true feelings and heartache now who ever this is with the Rip Jimmy you need to kill yourself yall have so much to say its not fuck Corey and his family but it can be fuck u and yours SIGNED A MAD BLACK WOMAN

  • R.I.P Jimmy - 12 years ago

  • babygirl - 12 years ago

    THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD HE HAS THE LAST SAY-SO IN ALL THIS .. MY HEART GOES OUT TO BOTH FAMILIES ...HE NEEDS TO BE PUNISH'D FOR WHAT HE DID , BUT THE DEATH PENILTY WILL NOT SOLVE NOTHING...ONE MAN IS DEAD AND ONE MAN IS JAIL EITHER WAY IT GO... ITS JUST LIKE HE'S LOSING HIS LIFE HE KNOW WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG..WE ALL MAKE CHOICE'S IN THIS WORLD....I MY-SELF BELIEVE IN 2ND CHANCE'S...HE WILL LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKE........AND BLACK OR WHITE WE ALL BLEED RED,,,,,JUST BE READY WE ALL HAVE A JUDGEMENT-DAY.

  • Mila - 12 years ago

    Corey, as well as Mr. Jimmy was loved by so many people. And the community speak positive on both individuals. Just like someone said Corey made a mistake. A couple of weeks ago a young man got gun down in the streets of Pahokee. Regardless how bad of a person the community said he was what are PBSO doing to solve that murder. What are PBSO doing to solve the cold cases they have piled up in their station. What happen to everybody being equal..... segregation ended in the early 1900s. Caucasians is not better than African Americans and vice versa. The only thing that's different is the color of our skin. But one thing I do know is God have a way of getting people attention. This episode woke up the community. WHAT'S NEXT!! Everybody is trying to get on one accord. But it's sad this what it takes to get people attention. Stop all this foolishness and the senseless murders. True.....it's wrong to take a life but God is a forgiving God and if people can't forgive others don't expect to be forgiven. Corey's family is in my prayers as well as the McMillan's family. But of you guys were/are well known and no matter who says what.....GOD HAS THE LAST SAY SO.

  • a mad black woman - 12 years ago

    He deserve life in prison if he is found guilty, he made a choice to ruin his own life when he committed a robbery that went wrong, people pls pay attention cause black people that cared brought this young man to justice, pay attention to the white folks comments then you would realize what you mean to them. Just another dumb nigger, times like thus reveals the hearts of true people and there characters, white folk you need to realize, you are black too, cause yall daddies and mommies suck grandma titties. We are all some kind of kin. Corey's concious will be his worst weapon, everyday of his prison life, no dealth penalty, hell they got serial killers that serving life sentence. White folk do your homework, now.

  • neka - 12 years ago

    I think they should give him life in prison and who ever these Races white bitches are that's screaming DEATH PENALTY yall better watch out cause now shit about to get ugly I bet if a black man woulda killed a black man shit woulda been still pending but now since a black man killed a white man yall wanna blow it up Omg people us black people have feelings to now the name calling all yall white bitches walk round in super dirty shoes and hand me downs from the salvation army...Corey is someone's son just like yall are and just like Mr.jimmy was someone's son

  • a mad black woman - 12 years ago

    Everyone is someone's child, he got brought to justice, that is goodbut the cops really need to treat every murder case the same, yes the blacks help broght him too justice but he had decent parents also because they did not uphold his wrongdoing, wtbs the sheriffs need to show the black comunity the same support they were given to the Mcmillans Family, life is not easy in our community, but we desrve the same protection the white folks get and the security also, cause underneath we all the same.

  • Gooddick - 12 years ago

    No I dnt thank he need da death penalty shit he made one fuck up jus cuz a white man get man die what happen when the young black people get killed and they didnt solve the crime yet....

  • ms sweet cake - 12 years ago

    Putting him to death have not solved the problem. The issue will still exist. Not only do u have one family mourning younow have two. The issue has to be solved from the politicians stand point. If they quit focusing on the largest cities in Florida & start putting some energy into these small towns it will help fix some of the problems. There are no jobs in the tri-city area. It's a shame it took a young black guy to kill a well known white man to get the BELLE GLADE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.

  • KINA GOD FEARING GREEN-PHILLIPS - 12 years ago

    OMG PEOPLE! YOU JUDGE AND YOU SHALL ALSO NE JUDGED, IF IT WERE YOUR SON YOU WOULD WANT MERCY. THE WORLD IS TO OLD HEARTED, GOD SAID THERE IS NO SIN GREATER THAN THE NEXT, SOMETIME WE JUST GOT TO FORGIVE AND PRAY. DON'T BE SUPRISE WHEN YOU FALL INTO A FOOLISH CHOICES AND THE PEOPLE POLE IS ABOUT YOU. IF YOUR NOT SAVE YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF THIS HAPPENING TO YOU, MAYBE NOT THIS CHARGE BUT YOUR LIFE IN THE HAND OF UN FORGIVING ON MERCIFUL PEOPLE.

  • princess - 12 years ago

    i think rick should eat ass on a bloody day everybody deserves to live its not right to take a life for a life.

  • Treva - 12 years ago

    Im ashamed of our justice system. Let the truth be told it only works for whites. This young man made a horrible mistake. He does not deserve to die. The kid has never been in any trouble. If this was a black on black crime this case would be still open and never solved. Wake up my black people race is certainly an issue with this case. If this was the case if a white man killing a black man. This poll would never exists. This system is very flawed. I'm all for justice but killing this kid would be murder also.

  • Mackeria - 12 years ago

    It's problem like this that make me want to question is the eyes of the justice system is really blind. I have been in the criminal justice program for four years and some how reality is proving what i have learn wrong. This young man who is one of my peers do not deserve the the death penalty. What he did was not acceptable. These people is acting like he committed a capitol murder or something. How i see this, is that the race card is being played. When have you ever known for a murder of a African American in the Belle Glade community to be solve lesst than a week. NEVER! Now we have this white well known business guy killed. BAM! Murder solve less than a week. While we have all these other murders gone into the cold case file. Now let me get on the community when you put a price on something "Black" folks get to talking. Why wasn't y'all talking during these other crimes when we knew who the killer was. This just show how ignorant money make people. Maybe if y'all get off y'all butts and make something happen in the community the youth want turn to violence as an option. We need more opportunity in the community. If you want to lower the crime rate at least try to bring different activities into the community. CeeCee all I can do is shake my head because all you had to do was take advantage of life and you wouldn't have been in this situation. May God bless your your soul and just ask for forgiveness. You took that man life and it wasn't even worth it. Life in prison is good enough.

  • MUCK CITY - 12 years ago

    NOW FOR THE PEOPELS THAT WANT THAT YOUNG BOY TO DIE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER LIKE FOR REAL HE WAS NOT A BAD PERSON HE JUST MADE A DUMB MOVE. IF HE WOULD HAVE KILLED A BLACK MAN NONE OF THIS SHIT WILL B GOING ON BUT HE KILLED A WHITE MAN YA'LL WANT HIM TO DIE YA'LL WHITE PEOPLEZ MUST STOP IT. SHIT YA'LL KILL JUST LIKE US BLACK PEOPELZ, N THE BOY DIDN'T WANT TO KILL THE MAN HE JUST WANTED THE MONEY IF YA'LL STOP TRYING TO STOP ALL THE LITTLE MONEY THEY IS GIVIN TO THE BLACK PEOPLEZ THEN THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL NOT B HAPPEN !!!! MR. JIMMY WAS GOING FOR HIS GUN SO CECE BUST AT HIM FIRST SO YA'LL JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP IN LET THAT DAM BOY LIVE

  • real nigga - 12 years ago

  • Shae - 12 years ago

    People Are Ignorant, He Made A Mistake. He Didn't Mean To Take The Man Life. He Does'nt Deserve The Death Penalty, I Just Think It's Out The Question And To Much. He Has Life In Prison So Let Him Keep That And Leave The Case Alone. I Love You Corey And I'm Gone Pray For You. . .Keep Your Head Up!

  • Rick - 12 years ago

    It is dirtbags like this guy that make my personal decision to keep the death penalty functioning in our society the better choice.

  • Jbd - 12 years ago

    Even though our emotions tell us to put him to death, life imprisonment is the best solution as long as it is life with absolutely no parole!

  • WP - 12 years ago

    Life in prison is far more punishment than letting him escape his punishment through death. At only 19 years old, he would have sixty plus years to relive, on an hourly basis, what he took away from so many. I think that the emotional nightmare he is going to suffer will only surface the amount of torture the family is feeling and will continue to feel. He deserves to sit in confinement for the rest of his days.

  • Average Joe - 12 years ago

    Put this animal down like a bad dog! Save the prison space for the drug dealers, ect....
