After Oakland killing, police ambush, vigilante spree, came a message of forgiveness
"Today is the day for me to stand up as a man, and I'm here to forgive Mr. Blackwell. God told me to do something positive and save some kids."
"He murdered my son in cold blood, and the way that it was done showed the kind of person he is. He is a cold-hearted killer, with no remorse."
Jamel Tousant Sr. has confronted his son's suspected killer, Hugles Blackwell, both with a weapon in anger and later in court with forgiveness. This journey followed the tragic shooting of his son during a gang-related incident in 2015. Despite the vengeance he sought for his son's death, Tousant Sr. transformed his pain into a message of forgiveness, expressing a desire for positivity and healing. Conversely, the victim's mother struggled to reconcile her grief, labeling Blackwell a 'cold-hearted killer' without remorse.
