I did'nt know Jimming and i dont know his family but my thoughts are with you all.
I think the boys that done this to jimmy are the most evilest people on this planet. All because Jimmy was the bigger person and stepped away from a fight. Jimmy had his whole life ahead of him so many things to do and achive. See the people that go around killing others obviously have no future.
My thoughts are with Jimmys family
RIP JIMM

I didn't know Jimmy either but am so touched by the bravery of his mother and family. Darling boy he never realised that he had won the lottery already to have been surrounded by such love. May he rest in peace in a better place and may his murderer give themselves up to the police to save his family further heartache.

Osem, Orpington says...

Sincere condolences to the poor family of this lad. You've shown yourselves to be truly courageous, thoroughly decent people and you didn't deserve this awful tragedy.

It'd be nice to think that poor Jimmy's death (like all the others before him) would force the Government and other authorities to act decisively but Gordon Brown and his ilk are too busy looking after themselves to care about the lives of our young people.

As for the parents of the all the young thugs involved in this sort of thing, when are they going to accept their share of the responsibility for the actions of their offspring?

Keith, Bromley says...

This is so tragic. I have left home this morning feeling empty and thinking of how on earth people can do this.
I hope sincerely that justice will be done for Jimmy and all other kids that have lost their life too soon due to all this useless violence.
I do wish his family my deepest sympathy.

To Jimmy's family

My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers. I pray that Jesus the prince of peace will comfort you the way that only He can as this tragic theft of life is almost unimaginable and must be so painful for you. I used to work at St Thomas More RC school a year ago however I'm not sure if I met Jimmy but his face does seem familiar to me. It breaks my heart that such wickedness and evil exists amongst people in this world. Again I pray that God's peace be with you.

To the Mizen family. I'm heartbroken for you all. Jimmy's life, though cut so short, was a beautiful, precious gift and you have so many wonderful memories of your time together. Your words and actions have been an inspiration - what a wonderful example you are to others. I can say little that can make a difference to your loss, but you have deeply affected me and so many others.
Rest in eternal peace Jimmy and may God's peace be with you all.

I hope his killer is caught and punished just like Jimmy was. He is a hero and you should be proud.

Jimmy:

Hope you rest in peace up there. Your the brightest star in that sky and your family know that your watching them

All my love

My heartfelt condolences go out to his mum dad and siblings. You have shown such courage in the way you are dealing with this horrific situation.

Something needs to be done with broken Britain before another mother, father, brother or sister loses someone in their family.

Three killings in London this week its disgraceful. Our government should be ashamed.

Jimmy's passing has affected so many people who didn't know him. The sheer horror of Saturdays events has spurred people to reach out to Jimmy's family and friends. Love and prayers are sent and offered. I am touched, like others, by the grace and courage of all The Mizen's. Danny Mizen speaking on radio 2 yesterday, invited people to mass on Saturday at the family church, even if you don't know the family. It would be nice to think that the power of collective prayer could make a difference to the family and the world, even strength in numbers of people showing up at church would not only let The Mizen family know they are not alone, we are with them, But, also send a peaceful message that we have had enough of the murders on our streets. Our Love and Prayers are with you and your family Jimmy.xxxxxxxxxxx
