Jared beers has never been known to hurt anyone I watched him grow up I used to change his diapers he has never been known as a violent person he might look that way but I have never known him as a violent person I never seen anything like that from him. He has always taken up for me and my family! Hopefully the good hes done n his life out weighs the bad n he gets some kind of miracle. May God be with his family! I dont know what he did or anything About it and dont wanna know just want to say that i am sure he was not happy like the comments said! Who would be. I was only saying he wasnt all a bad person!
