disgraced your own families when you did this. but you know what, i m going to pay for you and your families because at the end of the day this shouldn t have happened. this just shouldn t have happened. and we want justice for my son. justice for my son. justice for tyre. justice for tyre. justice for tyre. justice for tyre. justice for tyre. i just want to thank everybody again for coming. i don t have i have a lot of words that i want to say but they re just not coming out right. no, you re fine. and i still haven t had time to grieve yet. i m still dealing with the death of my son. this is this was not supposed to happen. my son was supposed to be with me today. i m always know that i ll be with him because he has a tattoo of my name on his arm. my son loved me to death and i loved him to death. and so this is very difficult for me. i m sorry if i m not articulating myself a little bit better. no, you re doing fine.
