@@Elyricist746 you on one dude. It's kind of fucked what you're saying in a lot of ways. He's gone through something extremely traumatic and lives with the repercussions everyday. Did he focus on hating his uncle? No. He said he didn't forgive him, but that makes sense since most people don't forgive murderers of their family members. He said he wants to be beyond the beef and wants people to put down their guns. He sounds nonviolent. Not one sentence did he talk about retribution or revenge- just how hard it is, he want to provide for his kid, and that he misses his family that was murdered. He honestly seems like a chill dude. I'd smoke a blunt with him. I wonder why you think he had "hate in his eyes" when no one else thinks so, it seems pretty sus. Your reasoning is highly questionable and very possibly problematic. Have some respect both for yourself and the victims stop being a twat.

No this happens to some of us when we go through trauma experiences like that trust me. That smile you see nothing is ever going to face this man again in his life I know that smile. He is forever going to be insensitive to other people's feelings and what I mean by that someone may get hurt someone maybe get killed and to people like us that been through that sort of trauma watching your loved ones go right before you it's not that we think it's funny it's just like okay s*** happens can't explain it really but I trust me I understand what he's going through right now I understand that smile that smile is his hurt. I understand where you coming from I do understand he's a ticking Time bomb waiting to erupt hopefully someone can get him help like I had people around me to get me help I still struggle with the same temperament as he got right now so I surround myself with just me I go to work I'll come home if anyone know how I can reach out to this brother I don't want to do no interview and none of that s*** like that I just want him to have somebody he can call and talk to cuz I understand what he's going through.

When he said he didnt forgive his uncle, could you blame him for saying this? I would feel the same way. I mean, his uncle literally murdered his mother, father, and 2 younger siblings as well as tried to kill him and 2 of his other siblings. How could you forgive someone like that? This man, along with his 2 other siblings have to live the rest of their lives knowing what happened to them and wondering what they did to deserve this. They will forever be traumatized because of this and will most likely have trust issues the rest of their lives. They have all been robbed literally of their childhoods. The fact that he kept saying he thought it was a dream and then passed out in the bathtub and woke up and had to relive the horror and had to realize no its not a dream, this is what was really done to your family by your own family. No. I would not forgive him either. Ever.

CJ.. I'm a Memphian as well and your story and what you went through / no one should have to go through what you went through. Something that was so bad, there is also beauty in this story. Your willing to not give up and your strong will to survive / bru you were not suppose to survive - but you did survive and you are here as well as your 2 siblings... I know you are at the age of adulthood and you are a young man who makes his own decisions. The city of Memphis has failed you if you are not receiving some kind of therapy/ someone to talk to at anytime you need to talk about anything... And if you are a friend and close to CJ - your friendship is so important for this young man. I can not stress it enough we as a community need to be there for CJ and his 2 siblings. Lastly CJ, man to man - there is never a reason to put your hands on a female - NO reason bru... You are damn near continuing the cycle - not on the same level as your uncle obviously but it is violent behavior you are doing to another person.... Stay positive young man and live your life to the fullest and don't get caught up in anything negative - just like you said. You only deserve everything that is good and positive...

I saw this tragic story on the First 48.Of ALL of the stories featured on that show, This one hit me the MOST. I kept thinking, Those poor kids!! The visions and this story has stuck with me to this day. I can't imagine how horrific it was for this young man who was just a boy then. I still think the boy (you) in the tub A LOT!! It's good to see you CJ. Alive and well. You ARE here for a reason...if not to just say "Junior" to help to catch that ruthless man. Bless you young man.

He needs to seek help. It seems like he still needs help dealing with his trauma. The fact that he felt like hitting his girlfriend was a solution to whatever she'd done isn't normal. Nothing for him is normal after what he went through. I hope he gets the help he needs. He deserves to live a happy normal life with his son like everyone else. I hate this for him and his other surviving siblings.

Of all the many First 48 episodes I watched, this episode broke my heart and brought out emotions I haven't felt since I was a young child. I have not watched the show since this episode. It was so sad and I felt like an intruder into this story of their lives. A tragic story. In my younger days, we threw hands, both of us went home a winner and we moved on. Guns, knives or baseball bats, etc.. Any weapon you place in your hands makes you what you are. You have the choice to throw hands or grab a weapon. Too many folks scared of an ass whoopin. God Bless CJ and his sister and brother. But God please look over the mother of the 2 brothers. I can not imagine the pain of knowing what one son did to his own brother and his family. She and CJ and the Memphis PD really opened my eyes to just how much worse it could be in the life of a child. I only thought my life was unfair. CJ, in my opinion is the voice of the young people in Memphis. His life has been full of tragedy and could be a valuable asset to the youth of that entire city. His story, his voice, his weapon. Good luck CJ. And I'm so sorry this happened to your family. I'm praying for you all and Memphis in general.
