This was, from one perspective, the hardest news article I ever wrote.

Oh my god, this is awful Crying or Very sad , my condolences to the family. How could something like this happen! This pisses me off; I hope the guy who killed them gets some serious [expletive] "love" in jail. No one has the right to take away anyone's life NO ONE.

May God bless his family and may he rest in peace.

So it was his sisters ex-boyfriend that killed him? At least his final blog entry helped catch him and I hope this guy gets the death penalty.

When I originally saw this, I thought it had to be fake. Then it slowly dawned on me that it wasn't the typical ANN style.

I hope that knucklehead rots in prison. I don't know Canada's stance on Capital Punishment, but it doesn't matter. He doesn't deserve to escape this world through execution. What he did was petty and nonsensical, and that should be drilled into his thick skull every last day of his pitiful existence.

Indeed, my prayers are with his family. It certainly was unexpected to see an article like this go up, but we appreciate knowing nonetheless. My heart wrenched when I read that last blog entry. Sad

It's not that I knew him, but we can all appreciate that common link we had. May we not take others for granted, as even the smallest connection we have can have a greater effect on our lives than we may realize.

This is very sad. I almost wanted to cry when I read through Simon Ng's blog. The murderer should at the very least get life in prison. The death penalty is wishful thinking.

What a sad story. My deepest condolences go out to his family.
I really hope that they indeed got the right guy and he will be punished for the crimes he commited.

Perhaps, since he has apparently confessed to the murder. Nonetheless, since it's a double murder, and New York does have the death penalty in place, it may still be within the realm of possibility.

My sympathy towards his family. Man, it kinda makes me quite disturbed how this all occured. Kinda scary too. All he was doing was minding his own business and trying to do his report. Makes me feel sad. It's very unfortunate. May justice be serve towards the murderer.

This has got to be one of the saddest articles I've read. I definatly choked up when i read his last blog.

You know you see reports about murders on television all the time, but you never think that someone you know, or even someone who has the smallest connection to you through a website, would be the one you read about.

My prayers go out to the family members and friends of the two siblings.

This is terribly tragic and heart-wrenching. My heart and wishes go to his family. I agree with what others are saying.. my connection to him is small, but it's still so awful and senseless.

And just yesterday I was thinking how we seem to think our friends online are pretty much immortal...
How often is it that someone you know only online actually dies? How do you know they just changed nickname or really left this world? (I don't know him, though he writes in a very similar way to lots of people I know.)
