Wow, I can't believe this topic still gets replies (mines included). I live in New York City and read about these young ladies when it happened - and it's always been a truly sad tragedy that yes could've been prevented. No on deserves to die because of mistakes if we did, then we'd all be dead judging from some of these comments.

I only ran back into this topic after reading an msn article about death reaching the blogging world, like myspace -- since there was the murder of the parents, and this viriginia student who was killed by some 38 year old nutcase on livejournal. All had blogs including Maria.

Anyways I say all of this because I didn't know either ladies, but they are pretty and it is sad, no matter what 'race' they are/were it's sad. I pray parents wake-up now, and these teens and tweens too! Drugs is not the answer not even weed.

Party people, have fun, but remember there are consquences to the choices we make in life. If you're going to do adult things then be prepared for what may come. But again I say no one deserves to die because an error in judgment, but sadly as this case has shown it happens.

I send my condelences to both their families and pray those young ladies are resting in peace.

Lastly, just because this is the internet doesn't mean the laws of cause in effect doesn't come into place. While anonymity affords you a certain shield like it does us all who choose not to reveal, doesn't give you a pass to be an ass. Have a little respect for these girls, regardles of what you think of drug addicts or the color of a persons skin, death isn't what they deserved.
