Lock these guys up and throw away the key!

oh man, tone ): you're so much better than this. /:

Bye Bye !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you derserve everything you get !!!!

Its a shame when money and greed motivate these young men....when it should be success and happiness.... so not worth years of their lives thrown away. I hope they learn their lessons instead of becoming another statistic....

Imma miss y'all I love you Eric why did you put yourself in that situation guys you were so close to graduating... Learn from your mistakes I hope you guys get out of there

I won't judge you for the dumb decisions you've made keep your head it will be fine I know you didn't hurt or want to hurt anyone but life goes on and I know you guys will overcome this and all the bad things people are gonna say about you... I will miss you love you Eric

I love u tone & eric i will wait for yall forever ! Iiii ffrreeaakkiinn miss u eruc

The responsible, non threating, law abiding, society that hopes to make this a better world won't miss you at all. You and all the other criminals do nothing but destroy this country.

Jessica, they're getting what they deserve. You're ignorant and blinded by your biased opinion of these "thugs". Westland will be better without them.

He will get atcha. In 10 to 20. Jessica go to school get an education. I'm assuming you are from Inkster. Maybe if you and yuor boys kept your garbage in your own city they would be sittin in da crib. Where are the parents? This is sad.

Ok you have their backs while we have the backs of the ones who make an honest living and live an honest life. It is shameful that people have to be afraid to go to work and make pennies for thugs to go in and take what don't belong to them. That is so nice that we have to hand them what isn't theirs. Are you kidding me? I for sure don't support folks that think that they deserve what isn't theirs.

Free Eric, im praying for you and your family!!!

The people commenting on here that want them free are their friends and family. Nobody wants to see ones they love in jail/prison. If it was your friend or family you'd be the same way. They made a stupid decision, yes, but that gives you no right to down the people who love them and want them out , it also gives you no right to judge them, you don't know them...all you know is their name, and one stupid decision they made.

Wasnt nobody hurt nor killed, so what are you talking about!? Right.. my point!

I don't even know what you just said Jamaica. Walking across what stage? Dear lord.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and comments, first impressions say alot. People should think before they do things and the consequences. There are some people on here that really need to get some common sense, go back to school, learn how to write and spell, then maybe people will take you and your comments seriously.

My biggest question here is, are they happy with the decsion they made and was it worth it now that they are going to go to jail????

He said he is going to walk across the stage for his brother. You guys dont know anything about these 3 men! Yes you are entitled to your opinion, but damn do you really have to make rude comments. They robbed a store, they made a bad decision, but you guys are acting like they killed someone. some people are being racist, and cruel. Goodness gracious, we know what they did was wrong. Hell, they know what they did was wrong. They just werent thinking when they were doing it!! You know know the real them though. You say all these bad things about them, but you dont know them personally like we do! they are all good people and just because they did this doesnt make them a bad person! This doesnt have anything on what others have done. You say "lock them up throw away the key" was it necessary? honestly!? NO! it was a crime, they dk have to do the time. But they are getting LIFE IN JAIL for this when some people that have done worse are getting less time than they are. So before you make your rude comments, please think about what you say before you say them. thank you!

dont*

and being racist and/or making rude comments arent going to get you anywhere either. Its ignorant! you say we're ignorant for wanting them home, but honestly youre ignorant as well. Dont point the finger when you have 3 pointing right back at you!

Again it doesn't matter what color their skin is, THEY all made the CHOICE to go in that store with a gun and take things that didn't belong to them!!! Why didn't they make a choice to go get a job and pay for what they wanted??? That is my point. They actually should be glad they are still alive and only going to jail, there could have been someone in there with a concealed weapon and shot them dead, because unfortunately it has come down to that people don't feel safe going anywhere!

They deserve the amount of years their getting. No matter how bad your situation is there is no reason to do any sort of criminal activity.

all know they won't hurt anyone because they are going to prison. stupid choices get you in trouble. let this be a lesson . im sure they don't want you to end up the same way, if they are your friends

Did they not hear about the Obama phones?

i get what you sayin when you said no one in the store knew, & honestly im sorry for those people i wouldnt have wanted no one to get hurt! But me knowing these boys they wouldnt hurt anyone! but one shot was fired to open the door! ONE!!!! you saying that like it was many. No one knows the real story, only them! Like i said im done, im too hurt and youre not making it better. Bye

& you think im with them everyday? i do have life!!!!! but they are still like family! you dont know our background, so dont judge.
