So Please You Grow up with something to say .
how dare anyone run their mouths about chris, especially those he considered his friends. and how dare you get up on here and say that you kept him around for amusement. what a piece of garbage you are, and it is you i feel bad for, because you’re the terrible person, and you should be tried as an accomplice. had chris had better friends, or friends that were better people, he wouldn’t be in this situation. he chose to be around you, and this is how you repay him? by convincing him to do terrible things that you’re not man enough to do? by manipulating him because he craves attention? grow up, everyone with something to say. i know he messed up and i know he alone did this, but stay away from him. leave your attacks to yourself. or man up, and let the world know who you are.
