When I was a child, my grandfather who had fought in the war, and survived the Great Depression told me that the world was a very cruel place. It was only after I got to be an adult that I would realize how very right he was. So much so that at times it makes it very difficult to go on living in such a hate filled place.
What happened to Jamiel and his family was a tragedy. It breaks my heart everytime I hear about a young person like Jamiel getting killed because they have not had the chance to fully live their lives. When its a good person who inspires others like Jamiel did for soo many others. Then its a loss to the entire world.
However as you look around the world today and all the senseless violence this is a pattern that is permeating every crevice of society. There really is no safe place anymore. I feel so bad for the youth of today because they have alot to deal with to begin with. Where I grew up on the east coast, there has been 4 murders in less than a week. One of these was a 2year old who was shot in the head.
The only saving grace is knowing that when God himself looks down and sees whats going on in the world he must feel about as much rage and sadness as we all do right now.
This is so sad.I can never understand why people choose to murder children the way they do and it hurts to know the kind of cruel world we live in and sometimes have no way of telling when someone or something will take the one you love away from you for no reason at all,but all i can say is that he is in gods loving arms right now and watching over all his loved ones and friends and even though it's painful he isn't suffering anymore and will forever be safe in gods world.Bless Jamiel's family and him also.R.I.P Sweet angel.

I have already relayed my sympathies and deep sorrow for your loss. Jamiel Sr., thank you for your kind responses to my emails, sir. Thanks to your wife for her service to this nation. I think it is important that everyone thanks you and your family for your courage in standing up for a cause, one that perhaps could not have been so well represented without you. Special Order 40 must go down! Please know that I, my family and many Americans across the nation will stand with you!
Family, I personally did not know your son but I just want to let you know that my heart is aching to this very day from the first time I heard of this tradegy. I was walking in the gas station and just so happened to pass by the newspaper which showed the funeral service and at that very moment I fell to my knees, and from that day I have been commited to read every article, every news clipping,view every video clip because I felt that apart of me had also died as well. I have no idea what it feels like and what your going through but just know that myself and my family are thankful that God designed you and your wife to come togeher to raise such a wonderful young man,I know Jamiel wouldn't have wanted it any other way:) I hear of crimes every day but one such as this has made me realized that the devil is always busy but God has the master plan. My eyes are all dried out from the tears that I have shed for you Mr.and Mrs.Shaw. I just want you to know that as a god-fearing 23 year single parent "I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER AND SISTER IN CHRIST" I WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU AND YOUR SONS LEGACY IN MY HEART!" (Mr.and Mrs. Shaw if you get a chance to read this Please,please send me an email my address is Jahmyasmom1984@yahoo.com I would love to converse with you if ever your availibale)
May the Lord bless and keep you during this unfortunate season of your lifes. I pray the peace of God that passes all understanding guard and keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Hopefully we can gather enouph support to get the politicians to end this tragedy and protect our country. Please lets organize and change the way things done in LA.
Please join The Shaw Family at The Ebell, 743 South Lucerne Blvd., on March 1, 2008 at 6:30pm and hear about Jamiel's law. The author of Jamiel's law and Jamiel Sr. will talk about the law and answer any questions you may have! it's time to Amend Special Order 40 and depart all illegal alien gang members! We will also have information about the Petition Campaign Work. God willing, we will get Jamiel's Law on the March 3, 2009 ballot. It's time to stand up and be heard! God bless you and thank you for helping. Visit www.Jamielslaw.com and learn all about the Law and sign the online Petition while you are there. Don't wait for tragedy to hit you before you stand!
I did not know your family or your beautiful Son Jamiel. I watched your story on You Tube and am horrified and deeply saddened that this was able to happen on American soil to a fine upstanding soul and family. My Father and his Brothers fought valiently for all of the precious rights we hold as American Citizens just as Sgt. Anita Shaw continues to do today.
I am signing every petition I can find as well as contacting every politician that will listen to this enormous glitch of protecting illegals, especially violent offenders such as Pedro Espinoza. I am sure that this is not what Sgt. Shaw is fighting for.
Please know that with every letter that I write and every petition that I sign, I will always have Jamiel and his family in my mind and heart. Jamiel's Law is a MUST and I am so happy to see that people such as Bill O'rielly are backing these efforts.
May God bless everyone that has been affected by Jamiel's tragic passing. America is less of a country today having lost such a promising soul as Jamiel. Thank you so much Sgt. Shaw for continuing to fight for our rights as American Citizens. I know Jamiel is looking down from Heaven and saying, "Look, That's MY Mom! I am SOOO Blessed to have her!"
I have lost many friends and it is a painful feeling to bare. I did not know Jamiel but my little brother was on the football team and attended school with Jamiel. It saddens me that this is happenning to our youth. I cried because this seems like nightmare....and I realize more and more that people are losing their compassion and respect for human life. I am in College and Jamiel has been our subject of discussion throughout many of our class sessions. Many of my male classmates wear T-shirts in rememberance of a young soul lost. We will always remember Jamiel and send our deepest condolences to his family.
