Today, my classmate pointed out that the alleged killer of one of the kids murdered last weekend has turned herself in. Apparently, Tennille Tyson, 20, was persuaded by her pastor to come clean to police about killing 15-year-old Kadeidrah Marsh.
 
This story brings up a lot of very interesting issues. Tyson is seemingly a religious person; she went to her church seeking sanctuary and advice. However, she is also allegedly the kind of person who could approach another girl in the street and shoot her over some (most likely) petty argument. This situation begs the question: Why couldn’t she have talked to her pastor before taking someone’s life rather than after?

   WELL MY THING IS I THINK WE LOST TWO PEOPLE IN THIS TRAGEDY TENNILLE WASN’T THE TYPE OF PERSON TO JUST SHOOT SOMEONE THERE WAS BAD BLOOD FROM MAYBE A YEAR AGO WE ALWAYS LISTEN TO A ONE SIDED STORY SHE HAS ONE TO TELL ALSO AND IT SHOULD BE HEARD. IT WASN’ T RIGHT SHE SHOULD HAVE REALLY TOOK TWO SECONDS TO THINK .BUT WE ALSO LOST HER TO THE SYSTEM.

   You are absolutely right. that girl doesn’t care about God, people make fun of God. She should have thought about God, before killing that poor girl. We don’t care if she went to cry to see her pastor, it is too late to regret and be scared, she has to pay, and I hope she will. this is ridiculous. You kill someone and then you remember that God exists. I hope the justice won’t even have mercy on her.
