Why don't you mind your own business since YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED>....THIS ARTICLE IS FALSE AND THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE AT THIS PARTY.....When YOU SHOOT SOMEONE YOU DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS PUNK deserves to be punished

Me wrote on June 08, 2007 03:46 AM: I am sick of reading the hate posted by people who knew only 1 of the parties involved or worse yet niether. Both families - the victims and the shooters deserve to have some time to mourn and heel. Neither family needs to read vile words filled with hate. Who does that help?
You weren't there. I wasn't there. Only those 4 people know what really went on. Until it all comes out in trial you should keep nasty comments to yourself.
Next time you feel like writing someting negative on here or anywhere about this case, instead write someting positive about her if you knew her, him if you knew him or just some kind words to the family(ies). This is not a forum for her friends vs his friends. Or even worse people from both sides pretending to be people they are not. Who does that help? Mourn your friend, or help your friend. Don't start a war over her. No one wants thier death to lead to more pain and violence for the ones they love and left behind.
Hate only breeds more hate. Violence only leads to violence. Let the dead rest and her family mourn in PEACE.

Although we weren't the closest of friends , I can say in my opinion he was not the type of person to commit what he has been committed for. I am not defending on his actions that night but for people to judge on his intentions ain't right. you can judge his actions but his intentions you cannot. nor can I , but I am here to to state that before people start to even suggest that he should be getting the " Chair " , it's ironic , how people want to end someone's life because he/she has done the same. and lastly , dont think because he didnt show emotion at the time that he doesn't regret it or has no remorse , he is a human being and to say he doesnt have guilt or remorse is false. PLEASE DO NOT POST STUFF that is unreal or biased. thoughts and prayers go out to both families.

Brian (not that Brian) wrote on June 02, 2007 04:08 PM: I really only have a quick post about all this. I've met Brian on a few different occasions and he has always struck me as a sadistic crazy bastard and I've heard several stories about crazy things that he's said and done and if this gets tossed as anything "Accidental" and people can get away with MURDER just by saying "oops!" then.....

The F'n bastard didn't even show any kind of remorse or regret (i'm sure he is now with bubba in D-block) but according to Erin who was on the phone when Jacquies life was taken she didn't hear any noticable signs of affection or regret.


Will, get your stories straight, KID!!!

erin wrote on June 02, 2007 03:57 PM: to all and per will's request:
i, the best friend, on the phone who witnessed brian's rage, jealousy, possesivness, and anger especially when on alcohol. i am coming forward to let all know of his controlling psychotic behavior and letting all know of his previous threats against her and her family. as well as his threats against me, with witnesses at my side as well. to say that since a little boy no one has informed brian not to point a gun at anyone, due to the serious outcome that could arise is foolish and unrealistic in this day and age. i find Will irresponsable (and puusy in itself) to hide under a bed instead of standing up to him (since you trust him than and still-what were you so scared of telling him for?)but to still put yourself around a person who is so idiotic, disrespectful, immature, and plain crazy. i was on the phone when he decided to take my friend and loving sister away from me and all of us who cared deeply about her and he did not freak out for a second. there was no hesitation. anyone out there who feels otherwise should be ashamed of themselves and seek help as will should have done for his good friend brian. look what has been caused due to carelessness.

Will:
Only those who only knew Brian for the few years he has been in Las Vegas will never realize that it is not in his nature to do something horrible like this. I can only imagine how freaked he was when he realized what he has done.


My Position:
As far as I know Brian and Jacquie were not a couple who had a violent nor threatining relationship where it would get to this point of escalation that Brian one day decides "im going to kill my girlfriend in front of friends at a bar-b-q and get away with it" People before you go and make a decision about how much a monster(murderer) a person is, get to know them better and what drove the person to do it, because i cant find one person that knew them as a couple come forward and could say that Brian was a jealous guy who made death threats, or any kind of abusive threat against Jacquie's life. So unless you were there then keep your comments to yourself, both families are grieving over the loss of jacquie and the fate that Brian has to face because of his actions.

This was purely an act of "Gun Recklessness" that of course should never happen because it could end someones life, even if you didnt mean it!

Prayers go out to the Watkins and Rose Families.

I learned gun safety with him several years back (I know it's hard to believe). At times over the years, he literally held my life in his hands and I trusted him then and I still trust him now. I trully believe this was an accident; tragic and very unfortunate, but still an accident. He knows better than to play with guns.

I'm not trying to defend him. I think he should be punished for what he did. But to say this was intentional, I feel, is a gross misjudgement.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jaquie and her family/friends.

J wrote on June 01, 2007 04:04 PM: I was a long time friend of Jacquie's. I have known her since 3rd grade when we were in Cheerleading together in Chicago and all through high school. She was a great and Amazing girl. Being in Henderson these past two days has been the most tragic thing I have ever witnessed. To WILL, who wrote below me.. If you really cared about Jacquie and really feel for her family you would come forward with the information you have!! This was NOT and accident!!! A BEAUTIFUL girl is DEAD at the hands of this man. To all the people at the party that night; stop hiding things for him, Jacquelyn Didn't deserve this and please try to put yourselves in her families position!! Come forward and help them. I just pray no one ever has to feel the pain of loosing a child, sister, niece, friend like the Watkins family has....
Have some morals and PLEASE tell her family and the police what happened that night...no one deserves this..and no one deserves to get away with something like this!
Jacquie, I love you...My thoughts and Prayers are always with you and I will forever keep you in my heart. I know one day that you and I will have the reunion we were supposed to have in August.... God Bless you...you will forever be missed.

I can rember several different ocasions back in the day, where I ran out of rooms and hid under beds because he was pointing guns at people. It's possible it was accedental, but Brian is the only one that knows. My thoughts and prayers go out to both the families....
By the way Ian, get your story right Son! Don't make it any worse than it already is.
