Please don't be fooled by all the media hype about Oliver Kingonzila, he was actually a big bully and a 'GANG MEMBER' and had vulnerable youths of Croydon running scared. Not everyone is sorry that he is dead all you 'Victims' of Oliver Kingonzila can now Relax In Peace (RIP).

pour sainte one je te connais pas mais tu es mal placer pour parler d oliver je le connaissais depuis longtemps et quoi qu'il est fait ou quoi que tu dise c'etait une personne comme une autre avec des souffrances des peines et des joies dans sa vie tu es mal placé pour jugé les gens laisse les gens penser ce qu'il veulent et laisse le reposer en paix dans sa tombe. tu dis que certaines personne sont content qu'il soit mort c'est bien pour eux mais on a pas besoin de commentaire comme sa ici.si tu n'avais pas le courage de dire ce que tu penser a oliver quand il etait de ce monde c'est ton probleme mais ne regle pas t compte ici alors qu'il est mort.tu es qui pour demander au gens de ne pas etre dupe? un jeune est mort et il y en aura toujours la vie n'est pas eternel. Nous ses amis et sa famille nous resterons fort quoi que t en pense car c'est une personne qu'on aimait qui est parti avec ces defauts et qualité.

Hey EGG, if you knew it was Tristan, why did you not inform the police. You probably know who else is involved then, or are you just running up you mouth making it seem like you know stuff. You need to talk to the police blood and inform them of what you know about this incident.

'Drops' is Dead. He was part of the ultra crew and will be sadly missed. RIP Oliver

You are very cold hearted, I'll pray for you, have you even considered the families of Oliver or Tristan who might come here to read these comments about their sons? You're trying to cause more pain for the Kingonzila family as it is by stressing how much Oliver deserved it. You must think this is something good,but wait while you are here bigging up Tristan's actions, you're forgetting one thing that mother lost her child too. You fool! Open your eyes! Tristan is gone to you know, his life is ruin too.By your words I can tell you are very insecure, and it doesn't seem like you have lost anyone close to you, if you call your self Tristan's friend well it doesn't surprise me why he is, where he is right now because he had inconsiderate, misleading, cold hearted, evil people like you influencing his mind! I sincerely apologise to the both families for this person who is claiming to be "the blessed one" for posting such non-sense. And as far as I'm concerned I do not feel that you knew ANY of those guys, because you won't have written what you said, so here is some advice GET A LIFE!

u cant go making judgements at the end of the day u were not at the place wen the incident happens. maybe it could have been for self defence.At the end of end we can't go judging people cuz u cld hav done the same thing! Im not saying wat he did was right maybe tristan didn't do the stabbing smeone else cld hav dne that.we dnt don't knw.Only GOD can judge our lives at the end of the day. I just hpe for the best he learns his lessons about gang war and all that crap cuz in the end wen it cmes to the trouble thats wen u knw who ur real friends r. So u think about it wat if u wre in that situation like tristan was? u wldnt want people judging u for ur mistakes? Im very sry for the family cuz no one deserves to loose anyone like that.... R.I.P Ollie and i hpe tristan learns frm this and other people who feel like bein in a gang is cool.. Stay Blessed tristan!

For all you dumb boes out there who don't know nothing. This is a case of self defence and Oliver Gentle Giant Kingonzila was a bully and bullies always go down when they aint got anyone to watch their back. 'Who know's it feels it', although not condoning the use of knives, Well done Triston for sticking up for yourself.

too many pepole blame the youths...its about time some of the parents take responsibility for their kids, and help guide them into confident young adults! here we find yet again another sad sad situation filled with anger and blame. oliver has lost his life and triston has lost his freedom!!!! its a no win situation!!! we need to think about solutions to prevent this awful situation from occuring time and time again.
at 02:25 on September 23rd, 2008
You know you are right..someone needs to offer the youths some guidance.

OLIVER KINGONZILA was a gang member..he was a member of the 031 otrey gang. search the web for da proof type 031 dropz if the above link does not work. All that Glitters is NOT GOLDat 15:09 on September 25th, 2008
Can anyone actually confirm that he was a bully!! or is everyone just repeating what they read before. Its easy to say he was in a gang and he was a bully. cant anyone b more specific. Bullying or no bullying you don't bring a knife out and take someone's life!!!
at 23:43 on September 26th, 2008
I Agree with South East London you don't just bring out a knife and kill someone. There must have been something going on beteen them. what led up to the stabbibg.People don't be afraid to speak to someone and let them know what has been going on in the streets with either of these men. We need to know the truth.

hey everyone,
Some of you are here saying well done Tristan, and that Oliver deserved it. Where is your heart? I'm not here to blame Tristan nor am I here to blame Oliver. You see I knew both of those guys, one went to my college (Tristan) and the other was a close friend of mine (Oliver). You see the bottom line of the situation is one lost his life and the other his freedom! The question to ask ourselves is where is the love? What ever happened to being God fearing, what ever happened to thou shall not kill (Tristan) and love thy neighbour as the lord has loved you (Oliver)? You know the bible teaches us simple morals and guidance which we must follow, to prevent hurt and pain of this such. In the old time days they used to say the bible stands for BASIC+INSTRUCTION+BEFORE+LEAVING+EARTH=bible.You see i believe the actions of Tristan was done out of hate, envy, anger,and all these emotions are the work of Satan, because if God, Christ Jesus was in his life he wouldn't have the strength to want to kill, if Christ Jesus was Tristan's lord and saviour he would have been God fearing! Ask for Oliver,saying he deserved death is just cold hearted, and cruel! I did not know him to be a bully,I wouldn't listen to that source Oliver was stabbed in the back, and being stabbed in the back IS NOT SELF DEFENSE! I knew both of them as PEOPLE AS AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON they won't perfect but they won't monsters neither,I pray and hope Oliver made peace during his last moment on the earth in his heart before dying, and I pray and hope Tristan finds peace and love and Christ Jesus while being in prison! I'll will continue praying that the lord will have mercy on Oliver's soul and to also have mercy on Tristan's soul! People DO NOT CONDEMN THEM NOR JUDGE THEM,PRAY FOR THEM, EVERYONE OF THEM, FORGIVE THEM ALL! If you do judge them remember "A SIN IS A SIN", murder is still as great as a lie or as fornication, adultery, stealing, jealousy,prostitution, idolatry, and so on! Scriptures say "judge not and ye would not be judge" it also says "if you do not forgive others then your father in heaven would not forgive you"
God bless you all xxxx

Child of God..YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING, therefore all i can say to you is to continue to read and preach your bible and save your prayers for those who need it. Cause to pray when it is too late does not help anyone. You should have been preaching and praying when these boys were confronting each other. Just for the record Oliver was not stabbed in the back..so get your facts right and stop saying things that you know nothing about.
I knew Oliver and Triston and they both had there faults, but i can't pass judgement on why this happened and don't feel that you or anyone is qualified to do that either. There are also some people that know more than you and I and have expressed there feelings and just beacause it is not the word of god does not mean that it is wrong. My advice to you would be to allow people to express themselves in the way they wish, which is there right. You have had your say now 'Butt Out' and continue to go to college and achieve something. something that these guys will not have a chance to do. 'God bless'
at 08:53 on November 27th, 2008
"Simply me" is there something wrong with your head or something? Did I come here to say don't express yourself? Or course you can express yourself I'm not stopping you.....but when I voice my opinion do not tell me to "BUTT OUT". I did not come here to hype anyone but I also have a God's given right to also express how I feel! I've known both those guys for many years and not once have I spoken badly of them! Your statement of preach to someone who needs it, they have both heard me preach Oliver in particular (TRUST ME HE GOT IT FROM ME)he was with me a few hours before he died when I was coming from church, he knows what I stand for! This is exactly why the world is the way in which it is! There are no morals, no compassion and definitely no respect! How dear you say to me,to go to college and achieve something because they won't have a chance to do that? How dear you?You've got some audacity! Everyone has a choice,before I was Christian, I was in a gang, I lived my life in violence until I got saved and CHOSE Christ Jesus! So do not judge me, never did I come here to say I'm holier than thou or more righteous than thee, so please choose your words wisely! (And Ollies back was turned when he got attacked he did not see it coming Mr/Mrs I know it all!)So you get your FACTS STRAIGHT!
