Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:50:35 -0500 i agree, she thinks that all police officers are bad, She thinks that they all just want to kill innocent people.

The community is upset that the officer who killed kahlil isn't getting arrested https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2629656 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2629656 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:38:27 -0500 Yes starr really isn't okay she saw both of her childhood best friends get killed in front of her. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2629654 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2629654 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:36:05 -0500 Starr doesn't like how kahlil looks in his casket, she doesn't recognize him.

I dont think Hailey meant any harm with that joke i mean it was fried chicken day at school. Fri, 12 Nov 2021 01:02:42 -0500 I agree she does need to do this because her being quiet isn't doing any justice for her or Kahlil https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2629642 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222070?scroll_to=2629642 Its bad eniugh starr is already blaming herself for what happened when in reality its officer 115 fault he killed kahlil without evening letting kalil explain himself or even seeing what was really happening before pulling the trigger.
