Some of these comments are very rude to the family members and friends. I agree that the editor should not have allowed the name of his friend to be posted on here.
People just need to realize that whats done is done and you cant change that.

youve got brass ones thursday 719pm to put his friends name in your comment. everything happens for a reason. Chris's life may have been sacrificed, for a reason. so his father and family could have the chris l project. that one death may save alot of lives. or even one at that, but either way they are trying to do something positive with his tragic death. Everyone should try to support the anti violence cause,instead of badgering him and his friends names. You never know you could be in the same situation one day. Everyone has rowdy nights in there lives.''note to editor, i think its mad distasteful you would let someone single matt smalls out like that''.Just for the record i dont really know either of these kids,but i dont really care. I was standing on the boardwalk when all this happened. so instead of wasting your time posting comments online, why dont you help your community and support the chrisl project. make a stand not a conviction. It doesnt matter who did what, what matters is how can we keep this from happening again.

Loftus and his friend Matt Small are responsible for what happened that night. Had they not instigated a fight like they had many times before maybe he would still be alive. Instead now his family has to deal with a loss, while his friends continue to talk to tough and pretend that it is not thier fault.

this kid is nothing but a little chump no props for a punk that kills for no cause. Hes lucky he didn't kill one of my best friends cause if he did he wouldn't have to worry about an appeal. i was told first hand he's been tortured in jail so hes doing his time. so to loftus's friends dont worry all the things you want to do to him are being done daily.

HE SHOULDNT EVEN HAVE TO DO THIS TIME, THIS KID WAS KNOWN FOR BEING VIOLENT WHEN HE WAS DRUNK.. THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF CHRIS DIDNT WANNA BE A "TOUGH GUY!"

My question is how Mr. Campon was able to serve his time in a youth facility instead of a State Prison?
