Unreal and pretty pathetic. How about a tribute to these guys instead of some pretty boy who promoted car racing on public streets?

Then Nelson Mandela died.
And I realized: Paul Walker's death seems like a bigger deal than I thought.
LOL!!
Here we have military heroes getting killed in gawd-awful places like Afghanistan in the name of freedom and people forget about them while worshipping some two-bit actor.
Call me a cynic but I suspect this and “candle light vigils” are nothing but attempts to get one’s face on the hoped for 6 o’clock news..........
I must be living under a rock but I never heard of Paul Walker before he checked out.
Wait until the vatos show up from rival gangs.
This isn’t real mourning. It isn’t even praying for the dead. It’s seizing on the death of a celebrity for the purpose of wallowing in cheap sentiment—and feeling like part of something “important.” (Celebrity.) Like the Diana hysteria.
Two guys died while speeding. Sad.
I think it was pretty nice of Barry to fly the flags at half mast all weekend for Walker.
Lot’s of pathetic butt hurt here.
Seriously, how miserable are your lives that you have to slander a fellow Christian, family man, and all around good guy? Way to really prove your point about supporting former and current military. Makes me want to get right up and hold a candle light vigil at the Walmart wall of honor. Do you always stand on others graves to promote your causes? How Christian of you!
Walker was loved and respected by the entire automotive community. DESPITE him being famous, he was kind, respectful, giving, and humble. Basically the total opposite of everything you little trolls hate about Hollywood and complain about constantly. Walker does deserve to be celebrated. While most people lose their way when they gain fame and fortune, Walker did the opposite.
BTW, Walker bought a $9000 ring for a military couple that couldnt afford it. What did you do?
How stupid do you feel now? Seriously, go take your meds.
According to WiKi (with referenced footnote), “[Paul Walker] was raised as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
Is that Christian?
My niece died on November 4, 2013 at the age of 54, leaving behind two daughters aged 17 and 22.
There was no call made to the local media by our family announcing a "candle light vigil" in order to get our faces on the local TV channel.
There was also no call made to the local media announcing the funeral date in order to get our faces on the local TV channel.
I don't give a rats ass about Mr. Walker, he was no more important to my family (or the world for that matter) and the enormous numbers of the community who showed up to pay their respects to her than some hollywood dude who happened to be famous...........
As I said before, this is nothing but media hype and anyone who shows up for the filming is there solely to get their faces on TV...........
News of the event will be shown at 11:00.............Pathetic!
From what I have been reading about him, Walker seemed like a stand up guy.
Its s shame that his life ended the way it did. He did more than most to help people.
RIP Paul Waker
And he had a thing for very young girls...
Paul Walker?
Oh yeah.
I didn’t know that. Thanks!
Yes.
Seemed to be a very nice and charitable guy which is rare for a celebrity these days.
I won’t diss him, RIP.
