"That others may live."

Agreed-no greater selfless act.

I'm so so sorry for your family's loss.

R.I.P Hari, you truly knew the meaning of the word 'love'

-hugs tight crying- i really was praying it was just a rumor..i didnt want it to be true..

..i am so sorry..

I was happy that he was improving..

I just hope that Gemily is ok now, and that she can cope with all this loss and pain. You and the family as well.

I really hope they catch that driver. Best wishes to your entire family and I am really sorry for your loss.

They already have, he's got a large number of charges against him, and I'm really hoping with this they'll tack on 2nd degree murder

Couldn't he get charged with manslaughter? I really hope he goes away for a long time.

That's what they are talking about now in the new release I saw. But I think this is above manslaughter, and from my understanding, California has what's called a Watson Murder, or DUI Murder which means if the person causes an accident that kills a person and the driver has had other DUI charges, they could be charged with second degree murder. What I'm afraid of is that even though the guy has had multiple DUI charges, and was found because he was driving drunk that doesn't mean he was driving drunk or drugged up that night. I think he was, but there is no way to really prove it.

If he was drinking at a bar or bought alcohol the cops and lawyers can get ahold of this information. I will be praying for the best.

I agree, maybe they can get something off of his debit card history or something...

That or track the license plate with the traffic cameras during that evening. They can also try and get it out of him during the investigation interviews as well.

Drunk or not drunk... he should be still tried for manslaughter/murder - personally I think he should share the same fate as Elden

If he wasn't drinking that night than it's either involuntary manslaughter or murder directly.

I'm sure they breathalizered or blood-tested the guy when they caught him- wasn't he captured within a day or so (not sure, sorry- this suggestion might be moot)? I've heard that alcohol breaks down in the blood in a pretty specific way. Perhaps a forensics expert can get an idea of how far over the limit this cretin was... Poor Hari...

Small correction (still wishing for the EDIT function, FA!): he was caught on July 19th. I don't know if there'd be much evidence of alcohol in his system by then, assuming he hadn't drunk any after the hit-and-run. *sighs* Still, it may well be a reasonable assumption, based on this asshole's previous record. It's unlikely that he wasn't drunk...

I agree, but he was still arrested for DUI, so idk, I'm just wishing this happened in a state that had the death penalty! We, as tax payers, shouldn't have to pay for him to be taken care of.

I don't want him to be taken care of on my dime, either, but I also disagree fervently with the death-penalty. This doesn't leave much in the way of options, sadly, when it comes to obviously remorseless, self-centred sociopaths like Walden. Our society needs to come up with a better method of rehabilitation- what we do now- caging human beings- doesn't work.

They're going to tack on "Vehicular Manslaughter" according to the news. He's not getting out of prison unless he's in a bodybag.

Good.

Agreed

Thank god.

That's felony charge #7.

He only needs to get convicted on three, for CA.'s three strike Law, to put him in mandatory life imprisonment.

More or less, which is why I said: He's not getting out of prison unless he's in a bodybag.

I am sorta wishing he was getting tried in Texas..

lol, you kill someone in texas, they kill you back. :L

or even kentucky for that matter sorry for the loss...

So all ya'll Californians get to pay for that shit bag while he is in prison for the rest of his life and the high profile court case.

Not my state

Unfortunately, yes, but he's off the streets, hopefully permanently. *lives in California* Sure, I resent having to partially-pay for this fool's unconscionable actions, but I'd rather that than he kill someone else with his selfish negligence. What's more "expensive" in the grand scheme? A few years of prison at a 100K (do you think he'll last long? I don't), or another dead innocent (in this case five, since I count the dogs)?

I doubt he will get life.. probably be out in 7 years or less... then he can do it again to someone else.. cause this fool will not learn..

Being a cynic and a realist, despite being also rather idealistic, I unfortunately agree with you, but I honestly do hope he's in for a very long time.

No parole on federal charges.

Look at it this way - it is more expensive to pay for somebody on death row than it is for a lifer.

But also, look at this. He ran down four dogs, with no remorse. All that needs to happen is that this word gets out in the slam to the big guys that like their pets.

the guy has a total lack of remorse period.. i still think the 10 cent bullet is the way to go

That's what the bastard deserves for what he's done.

Fuck that! That's too lax in my eyes. This animal needs to be placed in front of a firing squad!

if you think US prison is too lax then you will see Swedish prisons as a luxurious pensionate that you just can't leave durnig your time.

Sorry. I made that comment out of raw emotion. US prison isnt lax in the slightest! I still want this fucker dead.

I cant stop crying. I dont even know this person but it just makes my heart ache.

Detah is too good for him. He needs to rot in prison forever to think and dwell on the pain he has caused.

i agree with you death looks like an escape to me.

You're right.

I think the US prison system is so much more than lax! Hell they get three meals a day that is better than school lunches we feed children!!!!! They get unlimited healthcare, which is more than a lot of people can say, including me! Hell, there was a local story the other day saying a guy robed a bank because he thought he had cancer and could get it treated while he was in jail! We make it so these people WANT to be in jail....


Sorry, just my 2 cents

I have a friend that is a prison guard. He says they're treated better than most regular citizens, and the other day got the duty of taking an inmate to the hospital to have the third stent put into his head, all on the taxpayer's dime and to save the life of a child molester....

uh.. why should they get that kind of medical care?

some are, our oregon pen. has a frikkin mini golf course, along with other luxuries.

Don't compare him to us furries.. he's beneath us... He's not an animal... he's SCUM!

We're not animals...we're people...

Animals are people too. This murderer is neither.

Agreed. He took too many lives, 5 in all. He doesnt deserve to live, as bad as that may sound.

I might suggest that death is too good for him.

Better that than our tax dollars helping to keep him alive and well in prison. :/

Too bad they have to keep him well...

Some furs affiliate/equate with their sonas.. so when i said below us.. i meant below our sonas' level, i.e. lower than animals/lower than ourselves/sonas

That too!

I hope it comes to that. The taxpayers shouldn't have to support that piece of garbage for the next many decades. He deserves a nice prison death.

Yes he could, along with the deaths of the dogs aswell.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Beatcub, and I hope your family is okay aswell. My thoughts go out to you and your family.

I do hope that they find this monster and put him to justice. I was actually looking at all plushie suggestions the other day and I was talking about you with my father, he said that he hopes that you and your family are okay.

I haven't been on FA for a long while, and I find it quiet touching how close this community is and how much we all care for each other. Sure we are all having fun doing art and sharing ideas and whatnot, but when it comes down to it and something REAL and devastating happens ( like this) we are all a big family.

I will be lighting a candle for your family tonight Beastcub.

I have been told he was caught. So that is good news anyway.

They caught him, there is a journal about it in Bestcubs page,

I must have missed that one. Thank you for letting me know.

Oh thats a relief to hear, thank goodness. Looks like a loser anyway.

I am incredibly saddened to hear he didn't make it. My mate and I send all our thoughts and well wishes to you and yours in this hard time. :( This is terrible....

...

..my heart goes out to you, your sister, her boyfriend and both of your families..

I am So sorry for your loss.

I can't imagine how much it hurts. All I can do is offer my emotional support.

Oh my God. I am so sorry to hear that.

He died, but he dies protecting the woman he loved, and for any man to do so is an amazingly honorable act. I hope Gem is doing okay, I cant imagine what she must be going through.

stay strong for her, she needs support now more than ever.

I hope you guys can quickly get back on your feet after grieving, and I hope both families are able to heal after what this awful person has done to you.

Im so sorry for you and your sisters losses, but just remember he did die a hero and proved he would risk his life for her

this was an honorable trait of undeniable actions that he loved her and he trade his life in place of hers. This is undoubtedly the most undeniable sign of love...i have gained so much respect for a man that not only never talked to but also that i didn't know.

I'm so sorry he didn't make it... It was like he was doing fine one moment then gone the next... You and your family as well as his have my condolences.... ; ;

oh my... I can't believe this is happening to you dear... ;n; this isn't right..

I never got to know any of you, but I prayed everyday... He's in a much more safer place waiting for you guys to come join him when its your time. I cannot express how sorry and sad I feel for you.

I'm so sorry to hear this... you'll all be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear that...
I hope the monster who did this faces far more serious charges now.

There are no words... The right words simply don't come. But for what it's worth... I send my deepest sympathies to you and your family, and especially your poor sister...

My heart is breaking for you and your families.... It seems so unfair that something else must be piled upon your shoulders.......
I am so very sorry and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.......
I hope you are all able to keep your strength and continue living your lives, not just for yourselves, but for Hari as well....
His memories and presence will always be among you, protecting each of you, as was his life's goal.
He indeed died a hero.... and he saved Gemliy's life for a reason.....
I send all my love to you...... good luck........

Long live Hari's memory. The pain of his loss is a testament to how he lived his life. I don't really know any of you, nor do any of you know me. Regardless I send my best to you all, may my small wish be a tiny part of your healing process.

And they have not caught this asshole... There nothing I can say to know how you all feel but I really hope they catch that person and know what they did....

he was caught

http://blogs.sacbee.com/crime/archi.....t-and-run.html

link did not work.

whoops, copy/pasted from her journal rather than the actual page

this one should work

http://blogs.sacbee.com/crime/archi.....t-and-run.html

They caught him like a day or two after this happened.

Oh ok

He was actually caught within a day or two of the accident. I believe "vehicular manslaughter" is being added to the already-hefty charges- it may even be altered to 2nd-dgree murder, since he was likely driving drunk, knew he was drunk, drove on a suspended license and didn't effing CARE except that he'd gotten caught and was more pissed off at the charges laid on him for the four dogs than anything else. A complete and utter waste of skin, that one. *cries*

OH... MY.. GOD! i mean that beyond heartless... well he got all the time in the world to know what he did.

No remorse shown, whatsoever, from what I've read. The only thing he apparently was upset over was that he was being charged with felony crimes for the deaths of  wolfgem's dogs. Complete jerk. Wonder what he's feeling, now that poor  elden is gone... I hope his stomach went through the fucking floor with fear and guilt when he heard.

He was caught on the 19th of July, by the way, so his capture was pretty fast, considering all they knew of a possible perp was he was driving an older red Mazda... Kudos to the Sacramento police dept, for that.

Forgot to mention that along with the many other DUI charges he has on his record, he apparently has a number of other criminal-charges, too. Some aren't worth saving... This man has got to be mentally-deficient in some way- actions like his are just too stupid for words...

what is the world coming too....

Ya gotta wonder, mate, ya gotta wonder. I see hopeful things, too... oh, like all the wonderful showing of support here for  elden's family and  beastcub's and  wolfgem's family.

At least there hope.

Rest in peace, Hari. Despite this tragedy, I have full confidence that you and your sister, as well as the rest of Hari's friends and family, will pull through this with strength, and find peace in the fact that he lived filled with love.

When I saw the news, I started to cry instantly. My heart is so heavy, and so saddened by his passing. I had so many prayers and hopes that he would make it through. The world lost an Amazing person today. He was, and always will be a hero.

My heart and my prayers go out to his family, and to Gemily. I hope you guys can get through this. Know that we are all here to support you.

May he rest in peace. I am so sorry for your loss.

as i said before we are all here for you furs you know well and some you know little we are here for her to my "family"{ our house of 5 furries } send there condolences to you.. offering shoulder to cry one hands to help and thoughts and prayers

i....i am without words...i am so so sorry....he will NEVER be forgotten

no greater love has a man than to lay down his life for another

goodnight sweet hari, and may flights of angles sing thee to thy rest

*bow* My deepest condolences to everyone involved here now.

I'm sorry this happened hon... I know you don't know me but I've been following the story. I hope that the guy who did this now gets voluntary manslaughter on top of everything else he's getting. I send my prayers out to you now and my deepest condolences. You and your sister keep strong and take time to heal yourselves, heart and soul.

I am so so sorry. :c

I've not known what to say during all of this but I was hoping and praying he'd be alright and pull through.
This is ... I don't even know.

My heart goes out to you, your family and Hari's family. :(

My condolences. This is truly an amazing event though sad to hear he passed away.

I am so so so so sorry for yours and your sisters loss. What a senseless tragedy. I can only hope that justice is done swiftly in this case, and that the judge is harsh on this inhumane bastard.

Oh no...he sounded like he was doing so well! I dont know how it could have happened so quickly! I am so sorry for you and your sister- that is heart wrenching.

he was doing so well, this is a horrible shock

understandably so. Oh I am so so sorry for all of your family- especially your sister. Bless you all in this tough time, and my condolences to both your family and Hari's. An incredible person to sacrifice himself to save the woman he loved. I wish everyone the best and hope things will improve soon.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Please accept my condolences. Whatever comes after this life, may it be kind to Hari. (That seems so trite now...)

May the spirits of the wind carry him safely to the heavens where he may find peace among the stars.
My prayers to your family and his...and my prayers to him for a safe journey.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you all are ok, and keep fighing through this hard time. He knew the rrue meaning of love.

</3 It is heartbreaking to hear that he didn't make it... My prayers go to you and your sister, and Hari's family... I know that in the coming days and months, there's going to be a lot of "what ifs" and "should haves" and "if onlys" going around through your minds. Just remember that the final blame, the only blame, lies with the driver who did this.

I wish you all the best in trying to make sense of this and heal :(

my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family..................

This breaks my heart so much. I hope it's alright, a small obituary has been put up on Flayrah in his memory: http://www.flayrah.com/4194/harison.....elden-has-died

I saw a tweet about this when I got up this morning and my heart sank. I'm so so sorry for all of you. :(

I really thought he was going to pull through this. My heart goes out to your family and his.

I am so very sorry to hear about this. :( He truly was an amazing man to do what he did. I hope that his family, as well as yours, can find some peace soon. Once again, so very sorry. :(

i hope the justice system stikes that man down for causing all this pain. im sorry for what has happened and i wish your whole family well to get through this. <3we are all here for you

this year has been such a terrible year for many people. everywhere I turn someone close to someone dear to me dies or is really hurt badly. this is a terrible year. I hope they find all the crazies and lock them up before anymore people get killed.

My condolences on the loss of a true Hero if there ever was one. My heart goes out to your family and his family.

So sorry for your loss may he rest peacfully and watch over your sister and you in spirit.

I've been reading all of this over the last few weeks, and I've had no idea what to say in concerns to everything. It's magnitude is just... I know I wouldn't handle it well in your position let alone your sisters. I'm very very sorry to hear this has happened to all of you. It's quite obvious that Hari was one of those great men, It's just so sad that the world and your family had to lose him.

I honestly wish your whole family the best.

It has always been my belief that we each have a purpose, a mission, here on earth. When that mission is complete, we are called back.
It seems to me his mission was clear, and he completed it by guarding your sister that night. Now, she will have an eternal guard looking over her.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
It is such sad news, but his heroism is the silver lining to the dark cloud.

I tried to hold back tears, but when I read this, I lost it.


I may be a stranger to you guys, but my heart is aching from this incident. May no one have to go through this. My thoughts are with everyone, especially your sister. I am so sorry.

^this a thousand times.

Oh my god Im so sorry for your losses! The man who's fault it is should be convicted of murder!

I'm so so sorry. My heart goes out to you all.

*hugs... just hugs you an cries*

Oh my gosh this is such a shock! All I have to say is that the bond between you and your sister is one she and you both really need right now. To have so much happen in such a short period of time is beyond tragic. but as you can see everyone in the community is here for you all and we all grieve for the loss of such a great man and to feel that way about someone most don't even know means he was a hero and amazing guy. *hugs and cries with you*

He died protecting the one he loved, only a true man would do that. He is indeed a hero. I'll be keeping your family in my prayers.

Wow.

I .... I don't even know what to say. :c This is terrible. I'm 100% shocked, since it seemed as if he was doing well and was going to make it. x___x; Man...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Beastcub. Especially moreso for your sister. :C I wish her the best through all of this. She clearly had one heck of a guy, and I'm sure she's going to need all the support she can get after this...

Best of luck to you all.

it is a heavy shock for us because he was indeed doing well before this happened...

If it's a shock to me, I can only imagine what you guys are all going through. ;__; I... wow. I'm still speechless.

I know I'm a stranger, but if there's anything I can do to help you guys, let me know. :c

im so sorry for your'e losses.
may this hero rest in peace.

My heart goes out to everyone and their families involved in this great tragedy. I did not know Hari, but I will always remember his heroic act. He is a true hero.

I'm so sorry honey x.x *hugs and jelly beans* I'm glad he was a hero

I am so sorry

He was truley a hero, may he rest in peace, I will never forget what a brave man he was, even though I never knew him, what he did for your sister has truley touched my heart. My thoughts are with your sister and family<3 I'm so sorry.

My heart truly stopped when I heard the news.
I'm so very sorry for you, and for your sister, and for his family. I can't even imagine how much that must hurt.

I'm speechless. Absolutely speechless. I'm sorry for your family's loss, and my thoughts will be with you all. Especially your sister... I really hope she'll be alright.

*hugs tight*

Oh my... what terrible news, I'm so sorry for your family and those close to him. But yes, he died a hero...

Sorry for your loss.

Any words I offer will just sound inadequate, but I am truly sorry for your family's loss. I can't even imagine what all of this is like, and I send my very best wishes and prayers to all of you. If there's anything I can do, please poke me anytime.

I can't imagine how much pain you're all going through right now. So, so very sorry. :( I wish you all the best in recovering from this.

I may not have known him but I am sorry for the loss.
To the family may he rest peacefully.

I'm so sorry for your loss...it seemed like he was making good progress on a recovery, and for this to happen so suddenly comes as a shock.

My heart goes out to you, Gemily and both yours and Hari's families.

Hari is a true hero, and he will be honored as one by all of us.

Rest in peace.

Oh, hun, I'm so sorry for you and your sister and the rest of the family; I just heard it on the news a few minutes ago.

My deepest condolences. Im so sorry for your loss.

I cannot hope to offer condolences which could ever match the selfless sacrifice Hari made. But I offer my thoughts nonetheless.

He died a hero.

My heart and prayers go out to all of you that were involved

My God, I am so, so sorry. I've been watching since day one and was so convinced Hari would be fine. This grieves so many of us. Deepest sympathies to you and the family. Godspeed Hari and the little ones. *snugs*

Our hearts go out to hari's family and yours here in MD. Not only did he die a hero, he was a superhero.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8527716/ i made a tribute for him.

I'm so sorry. What a brave soul. You're all in my prayers.

I was afraid of something like this happening; when I saw your journal my heart just sank for you and your sister. I don't have words for how sorry I am. Still meditating and praying over this daily, for what it's worth. You're so strong, being there for your family like this. I hope you are able to rest soon.

I am sorry to hear about his death, Hug your sister, she will need it for a long time. and hug his parents they will need it more.

My sincerest condolences. These things we wish wouldn't ever happen... :(

Goddamn. The fellow saved his girlfriend's life...I really wish the odds played out in his favor too, I really wish they did.

Rest in peace, Hari. You are everything that is right with Humanity.

My sincerest condolences, and my family's prayers are going out to your families.

im so sorry for Hari. Im glad he didnt die for nothing. My give my deepest love to all of you

I have no words to express how sorry I am. He was an absolute hero, and it isn't fair that he was taken from all of us so early. You have my deepest condolences.

He gave his life.

OMG.. Oxo i am soo sorry

i have no idea of anything to say that hasn't been said by others at this point =( this is a terrible shock indeed as it seemed he was doing well. in the end the very best i'm able to do is give me deepest well wishes to you and your sister, and his family. you all have been through a storm of chaotic disruption that i would never wish on anyone =( may the balances of chaos tip in his favor and lead him to a better place, and let the force of community pierce the shadows that have fallen and help everyone recover =(

The ultimate sacrifice of love may he rip

I am so terribly sorry to hear this... I remember seeing my grandmother DAYS before she suddenly died, and it was a sick feeling to learn of her death. As for my dad, my mom never found a better man. Hari was more than a Hero.

I hope you all heal well, and please accept my condolences.

My deepest condolences to you, your sister, and your families. Hari was a true hero. May you all find peace in this tragedy.

I'm sorry about your loss. He must have been an amazing person when he was alive and I hope every thing goes well for you guys.

My condolences. :(

I don't understand why bad things happen to such good people. I'm so sorry

I don't understand why bad things happen to such good people. I'm so sorry

I don't understand why bad things happen to such good people. I'm so sorry

I don't understand why bad things happen to such good people. I'm so sorry

I don't understand why bad things happen to such good people. I'm so sorry

I don't understand why bad things happen to such good people. I'm so sorry

I don't understand why bad things happen to such good people. I'm so sorry

sorry i didn't mean to post it that many times

Omg, I'm so sorry this had happen, words cannot describe the pains of a lost loved one. I wish both you and your sister the best and hope that this doesn't leave a terrible scar. When I first read this I didn't know how to reply or if I even should reply but I felt the need to reply. I really do hope for the best for you two; my prayers for you both.
R.I.P. Hari

I'm sorry to hear about your and your families loss, Beastcub. I hope the guy who caused all of this rots in jail.

So sorry for the loss. -hugs-

:( i knew harrison for a long time and now i can't believe this happen i lost a great friend/ex enemy i hope he will see all the great anime up there v.v

I am so sorry...and I am going to keep your family and his in my thoughts and prayers for a long time. Please take care of yourselves... take things one day at a time and just be there for each other. I agree he was a hero...and the guy who hit them is a cowardly murderer who deserves to be locked up indefinitely.

A VERY good heart has left this world. But it gives him a chance to watch over Gemily from the skies, and be her personal protector. Everything that happens, happens for a reason. I can only hope that your sister is able to lead a mostly normal life in spite of this.

And to the bastard who did this, I hope he hears these words (though I know he won't):

You killed four dogs. You murdered five people. Yes, dogs are people too. I hope you feel proud of yourself for what you have done. I hope you meet your end in jail. Nothing is suitable punishment for you. I hope you rot.
-Kami

This is just so sad. First the dogs and now Hari. I have been reading every journal and I am just so shocked and sad for you and his family. No one deserves to have that happen. I am so glad they caught him and will be making him serve time for being so stupid.

My condolences. He died a true hero.

ooh my god i'm sorry sorry to hear this D:

I'm really, really sorry to read this. I'd hoped it would turn out differently. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Im so sorry about what has happened, you and your sister are in my fiance and my prayers. He has died a hero, a hero to the end of your sister's days who will be watching over her from above and will keep her safe. A loss is always hard, but losing a loved one hurts the most. just please keep yourself and your sis from falling out of reality, I myself have had many occasions like this where I went into a deep depression and avoided people over the loss of a lot of close people to me

R.I.P Hari, your heroic actions will never be forgotten, a hero to the end.

thats afull :( i dont know you but this story made my heart break. that guy truly is a hero in every sense and idk if you believe in god or not but in my mind he has the highest honer in heaven and will always look after ur sister from where he sits.

Words cannot even begin to comfort or console you right now but I am here for you if you wanna talk. I can't imagine what you are all feeling I myself am in tears because of this and keep having nightmares of my own dog dieing in a simular manner and i am not even the one it happened to.....I am so so sorry for you guys May he forever live on the hero that he truly is in all of your hearts.

My deepest condolences to you and your family and I can only hope that he continues to watch over you all from a better place and the monster responsible never sees the outside of a prison again.

Well, if rumors are true, this is his third DUI misdemeanor, so he's getting 25 years.

Unfortunately, Cali prisons are beyond overcrowded. :(

OMG I'm so sorry hun. Please pass my condolences to your sister and his family.

I..I'm so sorry to hear this... I never knew him, but it sounds like he was an incredible person; a true hero indeed. I am so sorry for your family and his; I offer you all my deepest condolences and I hope you can all pull through this difficult time...

I'm absolutely speechless... I'm so sorry. :(

omg.. beast.. I'm extremely sorry for yours and your sisters loss.. he did die as a hero.. I just hope that sick fucker that caused all this mess fucking dies a horrible, painful, death.. As horrible as that sound, but honestly.. he's a heartless monster..

*hugs tightly*

I'm just glad nothing horrible happened to gem.. may her heart be full of strength..

Oh fuck I'm so sorry to hear that! My condolences to you and... please if you feel it's appropriate, send my condolences.

omg i am so sorry to hear that. thats very sad. . im crying now. *hugs* give your sis a hug for me.

Right now, He is in a place where there is no illness, no pain. He is receiving love beyond our comprehension. I can assure you though - he would want you guys to move on to the best of your abilities. He certainly does love you guys! All the relatives he has lost - all the pets he has lost - are all with him now.

I am so incredibly sorry to hear this. I know the pain and sting of losing someone so very special. *hugs* If you need anything, anything at all, note me. Same goes to Wolfgem.

I extend my condolences for your loss... my heart is breaking just hearing about it... I'm so so sorry.

Awwwww...

Why is it good people always get screwed, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I hope that scum bag gets life in prison.

My best wishes to you and your family in this time. In the end, remember he did die a hero, and died so that your sister could live on, and be happy. May his last wish and his last act bring better times to both of you. The community stands with you, your country stands with you, and in the end the legal system will stand and make sure the piece of crap responsible never gets his freedom. Blessings to both of you, and I hope time brings healing.

I just saw this on DA, thats so sad but amazing, its one of those things I hope i would be brave enough to do the same, sorry so much happened.

may we never forget Hari

R.I.P he will be missed greatly even tho I've never known him

i never knew him. but i still went cold reading the title. this must be crushing for everyone, especially your sister.

Like so many people posting here, I don't know anyone involved. However, what Hari did touched me greatly and I hope there is a special place for a hero like him after this life.

I honestly don't know what to say. I'm just shocked. With moments like this it's impossible to describe your emotions.

I...I wish I knew what to say....

I'm so sorry. So very sorry for you, Wolfgem and all that has happened....

Both  musclewolf and myself are very saddened at the news. May you all find some solace at this time and my justice prevail.

may justice...

=( I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry. :(

That's so sad, I'm so sorry for you and your sister.

Dear Beastcub,

I heard about what happened. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you & your family. I know somewhat of how you feel. Recently I recently lost my grandma to a brain annurism. It does truly feel awful when a friend or family is gone. I hope the authorities catch the jerk who did that & make him pay for what he's done.

Key thing to remember, though: Family, friends & even adored pets are truly not gone while we still remember them. The bonds of family & friendship remain intact & unbroken past death. Those bonds keep the memories alive.

If there's anything I can do, let me know. Us fellow furs have to stick together.

Be strong,
The Incredible G - Geoff B.

I'm So So sorry my condolences to you and your family

This is such a sad story. Sorry for your loss, and may you all find the strength to get through this.

Having just lost my mother, I can only fathom what you and your familiy are going through right now. When I read the news on Palomino's journal, I wanted to help. I made this for Hari and to hopefully help the rest of you in some small way. You have my deepest sympathies, neigh.

Thank you for making this. It is absolutely, irrefutably beautiful. <3

Thank you for listening to it; I hope it helped you some.

It really did; it's both melancholy and soothing at the same time. :)

I'm listening to it while reading the comments here... Dammit, screen's going blurry...

Beautiful tribute.

Thank you for taking the time to listen; I hope it helps you.

I'm not the one who needs the help, but thank you so much for writing such a beautiful, uplifting piece. *hugs*

I just came back to receive the news about this from my sister, and I was hoping this was wrong.
Hari, may you rest in peace and you will be remembered as the hero you are and were.
This guy was a saint in disguise, and I hope that if anything he didn't suffer and just passed in his sleep. -doesn't mean this in a bad way-

I.....he is just a very wonderful guy and that alone just made me honor his memory all he more.
My prayers and wishes are with you guys, both the West family and Hari's family.

Oh my gosh... I'm so sorry it came to that... All I can do is give my prays to his family and to your sis. Like you said.. Least he left as a hero.

I don't know you, or Hari, or anyone really, but I am extremely sorry for your family's loss.... May this truly heroic being rest in peace. If only we could rid the streets of careless drivers and restore/spare those lives that were lost.
Take care xx

My thoughts with the your sister, you and all the family of the fallen, I know its something that is said but tomorrow nor the next min is promised to any of us. Life is like that to many and hearing about it with-in the community is close to home. I lost a sister to a drunk driver, it was not a hit and run thing though the guy got arrested at the seen. I truly hope the guy they have is the right one and gets a small cell to think things over for many years to come. I do regret that the law was saying he will only get charged with cruelty to animals... those laws need to be changed to murder as well... if it was my world... it will not bring the loved ones back, nor will it be something one gets over in time, time does heal all wounds... but it does leave big scars... its a event that will be with you for ever more... the task is learning to cope and go day by day... moving on in this life... I know it seems petty but get a good lawyer and go after the mans entire family, where he bought his drinks, anyone associated with the "bleep"... then open up a scholarship in your loved ones name, or donate any funds from it to charity... I was very young when the event happened to my sister... she was just a teenager on a mini bike... car hit her and sent her thru the windshield and died at the seen... my memories were of seeing her in that position... all I can offer is a shoulder to cry on, a ear to hear, and advice and experience, as one gets older more and more events happen. My wife was passed in 2008, and it tore me to pieces... was not good for anything for a year and thought about checking out... and a friend sent me a video about the fandom... and it brought a little light and joy in my life at the time I needed it the most... I know it does not seem like it at the moment and if you are reading this... in time you will heal some and be there in times someone will need you... and there will be moments of happiness again... you will never get over it, it will be there in your heart and mind forever... but i am not someone setting on a keyboard that is just saying things... Big hugs and truly the best of all in getting thru this point in your life... it is the most painful, soul wrenching thing that can happen to your sister... and unless someone has not personally lost a mate can truly never relate... its not like losing a family member... though thats bad enough... you wake up and that soul is not next to you, I am tearing up and will stop... sorry like I said it will be with you... I just ask you to hang in there... if you ever want to talk pm me.

Wrabbit...

i truely truely couldn't agree with anyone more than you at this very moment. I lost my dad back in 2009 at the age of 14 due to unknown causes (family won't tell me exactly) ive learned to deal with it and move on but there isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of him. Same with my sister who passed at birth. I never exactly knew her i guess but i felt i did. i know they are in that one special place where they are happy and watching over me and this thought helps me go day by day.

I am sorry to hear he died, just now 4am here in uk, feeling sick with a cold and cough in the middle of scotiacon. I am lost but he is still a hero reguardless. I will let others knows.

I am so sorry to hear this, my deepest condolences.

the guy that caused all of this... really needs to die a long and painful fucking death.

Also... anyone else got the urge to know exactly why Hari passed? Normally I don't ask but for someone that was reportedly doing good... comes rather odd.

he had a lot of internal damage... I am sure the news will eventually share what happened, I am respecting the family's wishes and not giving out any info the news has not...

My guess is blood clot.

IIRC, If he wasn't out of ICU yet, there are dozens of reasons things might have swiftly turned south while he was recovering. Blood clots, internal bleeding, stroke, seizure, his body simply draining too much of it's own resources.... there's so many different ways things can take a turn for the worse when recovering from massive bodily trauma.

in this case, as I recently learned, it was "complications of blunt force trauma" which from my understanding fatal complications from blunt force trauma happens suddenly and usually weeks after the incident (and sometimes even months or years later)

My heart goes out to you and your family.

I'm in tears right now, I wish I could do something to ease the pain of you and your family, but all I can do as one person, like everyone else here, is to be with you in spirit, and send as much love as I can <3

Things will get better. It seems very dark right now, but, in time, the memory of Hari will make you smile, and think of all the good times. He will always be with you and your family. <3

Oh... dear.. ._. This came as quite a shock to me and I wasn't familiar with anyone involved... My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and Hari's family...

I'm sure he will be missed greatly...

When I saw the title of this journal, my heart sank. I had hoped that he would get better. I'm so sorry for all the things that driver has taken from you and your family. I hope your sister and both your families make it through all this ok. :c

My deepest condolences to all of you. It's a shock to hear this especially since he was doing so well. Hari is truly a hero and he will always be remembered a hero. *hugs*

We are here for you and your family. I hope that filth rots in jail.

i hope that guy meets with an unfortunate painful end in prison

i thought he was going to make it through this.... im sorry for the loss :C drew this for your sister http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8528403/

Please accept my condolences, this is horrible news...I wish the best for you and your family.

Im sooo sorry for yours and your sisters loss. He did die a hero and he will be remembered as one. I will keep you, your sister and his family in my thoughts and prayers. *hugs*

I'm so sorry for your losses D= -hugs you and your sister tight- i wish i could say something, anything more comforting... im sorry..

My condolences to your sister and Hari's family for Hari's death. Sigh. I did not expect this to take such a grave turn after Hari was hospitalized and seem to be recovering. :(

I hoped that he would get better.

I am so sorry.

I'm a a loss for words.
I'm sooo sorry for your sisters loss.

Oh my god, Beastcub ... I'm in utter shock. I was so sure that he was going to make it ... As shocking and as saddening as it is for me, a mere bystander that never got to personally know any of your amazing people (much less the brave young man who gave his all to protect the one he loved), I can't even -begin- to imagine how horribly this has blindsided those, like you and gemily and Hari's family, who are so VERY personally affected by this loss. This ... this -truly- isn't fair. So many wonderful lives have been taken and altered by this monster's actions ... it's HORRIBLY unfair...

Despite how shocked, hurt, and angry this leaves me, I derive one SOLE comfort from it ... it's the final nail in this bastard's coffin. I'm starting to hope he gets the needle. Too much innocent blood has been shed now because of him. Gemily has now lost all her children AND her mate because of this ... creature. He deserves to be made an example out of. To teach his kind the meaning of fear, and the high price of justice.

In my most HONEST opinion, every moment he's still breathing is an insult to those who no longer -can- draw breath because of him. His continued existence only serves to mock his victims. Both living -and- dead. He hasn't paid a high enough price yet.

Im so sorry...we were all pulling for him. He is a hero though RIP Hari.

I am so, so sorry. I've been silently following this story and I simply feel terrible for your sister and yourself.
Hari will always be remembered as a hero.
Please give your sister my condolences.

Nobody can say "all men are the same". Hari gave up his life to protect what was most important to him. He died a hero and will be remembered as one. This world could use more people like him. My prayers go out to you, Gemily, Hari, and your families.

Oh god....

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I don't do the prayer thing, but your sister and your family are in my thoughts.

-Badger-

As soon as I saw the journal title in my inbox, my heart sunk.. I didn't even get through the first line before I started breaking down crying.. Harrison will be remembered so greatly by so many people. I send my heart and prayers out to Gemily. She has lost so much so quickly.. Justice shall be served.

I am so sorry to hear this!! D: It's so sad!!

I have no words to say that havent already been said by others, nor anything that can help. All you need to know is everyone loves you, yours sister and Hari. and he is a hero, and always will be. I am so sorry for the loss!

I am so sorry for your loss. He will be remembered as a hero, and my heart goes out to both your family and his, and especially to Gemily.

My deepest grievances to your loss. :( Prayers of love and comfort being sent. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for you and your sisters loss. I was really hoping he would be able to pull through. *hugs* I am glad that at least your sister is alright and you guys are in my prayers.

wow. I am saddened to hear this.

I was pleased to hear that he was doing better,this is just such a horrible twist.

My heart, hopes and love go to you, Gem and Hari's family.

My husband and I are incredibly saddened to hear this. There are no words. :\

My deepest condolences, this is a truly tragic turn of events. My thoughts go out to you, Gemily and your family.

i am so terribly sorry to hear this :c

My heart goes out to you and your family, as well as Hari's family. I'm so sorry for all of your losses, you and Gem both. I pray for peace for both of your families.

*hugs* My heart goes out to you all so very much.

My condolences go out to your family as well as that of the victim's. *hugs* Be strong for your sister. Your sister's boyfriend did die a hero.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He definitely did die a hero. He is love by his friends and family, keep his memory in your hearts forever. *hugs tightly* Stay strong in this difficult time.

Is there any kind of donation fund to deal with uncured fees set up yet?

Prayers and thoughts are being sent to your family *hugs*

My condolences. His passing is tragic, but his action is an example for all of us.

I simply.... ust don't know.... It wasn't long ago I was thinking of adding to the floods of get well soons to his page when he got out... An now.... That's just not fair, he was already going to look at a prosthetic and know he was a hero... I really have no words... This hurts me and I didn't even know him... To those who were close to them... I'm just so very sorry...

What a terrible result, I had so much hope for him to keep getting better. He is a great man for what he did. I may have never met or interacted with him but just from his actions displayed in this incident everyone can know he was a loving person in every way.

I'm not even sure what to say...I'm so sorry... (I'm a sympathetic cryer)
He is with Canis now...may he rest in peace...

I have no words.....This is all so tragic.

Is anyone setting up a memorial site for him?

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012.....en-nominations

....wish the deadline wasn't April 24th,

I think Hari should be nominated for one of these next year, or something similar....

Hope you and your sister start getting some better news soon, and I hope her leg heals well

We should try for 2013. :)

I second this notion. I wonder how many write-ins they'll allow before they give in and honour him? Definitely try for 2013.

I offer my condolences for what has happened, he is a hero. I'm really sorry you are all going through this, if there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to ask, everyone is here to support you. *hugs*

Read it about it yesterday and I just hped it was a lie (;y;)
It's hard to imagine what Gem feeling right now.
You have my deepest condolences.
But I'm also quite sure that he will watch over Gem wherever she goes.

Sorry to hear this

That is completely devastating, I am so sorry to hear this I find it hard to find the words.

I will keep you all in my thoughts stil and pray you can find a way through this.

Death always happens so suddenly and can be most unexpected. Thats how my mother passed on, during a routine surgery. I am sorry for your loss.

Oh, no!
To me, he did not die in vain- he shows the definition of heroism, and that hit-&-run driver will be in a LOT more trouble now.
I do hope that you get fair justice and I am sorry for his passage-he did not deserve to to die this young, but he has showed us that you are never too young to be heroic.

I couldnt help but cry reading this. I am so sorry for your loss. It was bad losing your pets but I had thought 'at least those two survived'. Its heartbreaking to hear that this monster has stolen yet another person from your lives.

I'm so sorry for your loss :(

I must tell you that I'm praying for you and your family. I know what it is like having someone so young taken from you, and it hurts. More than anyone could ever imagine. My mother passed away when she was 36, and I was 9. Please, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here.

Goodbye to a good and brave man. R.I.P.

I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss... My deepest condolences..

I am so sorry to hear that Hari has passed. My heart goes out to Gemily, yourself and Hari's family. Hari is a Hero and he did so much good in the face of danger. RIP Hari
