Everyone who knew Amin and Shamin knew that they would have given you
their last $1.00 if you needed it without a doubt.They were the
sweetest friends I have ever had.Everyone knew them. They were not
criminals. They were both also married; They come from a loving family
who cared for and supported them. The motorcycle was not stolen.The
journalist had limited information that came from a police officer who
refuses to give the family a detailed and complete story of what
happened.Their stories have changed too many times. The hospital does
not report anyone by their names being in the ER; however, the officer
claims one brother was there. There are witnesses who have come
forward and contradict the information reported in this article.
Before you decide to judge and believe what you read, please review
your sources and their credibility.
I am disgusted by the negative comments made to say the least. I am
almost positive that race has a factor in this. No one deserves death;
we are human and make mistakes.No one in this world is perfect.You
have done something wrong, but might not have gotten caught...does
that make you better? People who have negative things to say are
merely victims of their own pathetic and lonely lives.
RIP Amin and Shamin; you will always be loved and remembered...

it would be a shame to not respond to this in accordance with the tone
taken against the 2 brothers that lost their life. but i will
retrain. one would wonder if the author has ever done anything
outside the norm or even maybe taken a chance to live outside of ANY
rules or boundaries. i am sure he has, but yet he sits on a high
pedistal and passes judgement on others. shame shame. who is he to
smile at the death of anyone? with such a calous posting i know
exactly who he is, one of these bitter, straight edged, the world is
wrong, i am right, do-gooders. did he stop to think that in their
youth these two might have merely made an error in judgement? i bet
he won't even acknowledge that it is a loss of life, period, and in
that alone it is sad. or the fact that they both left behind
children, and they were both truly beloved sons themselves, mostly
known for there playful nature and amazing sense of humor. they were
amazing friends and fathers. and he remarks as if he even had the
right. their funeral drew nerely 600 friends and families, how man
people will attend his, i venture to guess not nearly as many. it is
bitter people like this who make light of tragedy that in the end
blame everyone else for how tragically lonely their lives are, and
this is the way they lash out. i knew both brothers, and i can tell
you about a million other instances of their lives which would outline
why they did not deserve this. i hope the author prays that karma for
such bitter existance is not as swiff and brutal as i would be if i
met him in the street saying these words about my 2 friends.

Riiiiight. They're wearing full riding gear, zipping along at triple
digits - do you think the cop could even tell what race they were? Heck,
couldn't even tell the gender.

- - - - -
They were murdered? Then the journalists must be in on it - the account I
read said that they were fleeing from the police, lost control on an
offramp, and crashed. But gee, you seem to have some seekrit knowledge
otherwise. Why don't you tell us how their murders were part of the 9/11
conspiracy, and toss in a few Masons while you're at it.
When I'm wearing leathers or the Fieldsheer, full face helmet, gloves, you
couldn't tell what race I am if I was standing in front of you, much less
zipping by at a buck-plus. Duuuuhhhhh!!!!
