Oh no, not vague threats from an anonymous user. Apparently, he respects his boy so much that he's not willing to put his name to a post.

I'm hurting from the loss of Joe. And you people come on here and think posting stupid jokes about the killer is still somehow ok... its not. It still disrespects the whole situation and the people who love Joe. ur here not taking things seriously but wanna joke and stuff. He didn't deserve to die like that by a person like that. For A REASON LIKE THAT.
