As easy as these records are to find, I have to wonder why other media entities didn't publish these relevant facts? The woman who reportedly stabbed Hughes, who is not named in either of the two articles on the incident, will surely be making a claim of self-defense. The fact Hughes was such a no-account helps to make self-defense seem likely.

Hmmmmm.... imagine that!!! SHOCKER !! Another piece of scum !!
So much to say... but can't.
-just a cop
Just a cop - I'm sure there's SOMETHING you can say...???
well I knew them both growing up and didn't even know they was a couple! but anyways she has a record also! a very violent temper with a bunch of baby daddies 8 I believe she parties 2 much and drink plus last I heard she snorted powder. so fingers can point in a two-way position. but she got off no charges I wasn't there don't know what happened so hey the law say it's justified!
This article is a prime example of why you are not a responsible writer (I wouldn’t consider calling you a journalist) and open yourself up to the possibility of another suit from the family.
First, at this point you know absolutely nothing more about the case other than what has been written by the major media. You wonder why the major media didn’t consider his criminal history relevant. Hughes’ criminal history consists of numerous traffic violations (mostly alcohol related), a few minor drug incidents, and a disorderly conduct; nothing more serious than a gross misdemeanor.
There is absolutely no correlation between his homicide and any of his previous charges. Further, the most recent charge was back in 2003 which were 8 years ago. Since you like to speculate, maybe he found Jesus and has been a model citizen these past eight years. Maybe he struck a deal and has been a police informant these past eight years. Maybe he just woke up from a coma. The point is you are making a total assumption that his death has something to do with his past charges. Since there has been nothing to connect his past behavior with his death, they are irrelevant at this point.
Secondly, you have made a totally irresponsible statement that he was killed in self-defense, “…will surely be making a claim of self-defense.” How can you possibly have any basis of fact to make such a statement? While it appears to be a domestic situation, you have no idea what the facts of the case are.
The gal who stabbed him was arrested for homicide. Maybe she pulled a knife on him, and he was acting in self-defense? Maybe she has a worse and more recent criminal history than Hughes does?
Maybe she runs a crack house and she was trying to rob him in a drug deal gone bad (imagine that in NoMi). Or, maybe he decided to break up with her and she got pissed off (Gee imagine some douchebag dumping his galpal). One fact from the case is that police found Hughes bleeding from the back. I’d sure like to know how that happened.
A responsible writer would gather the facts before making statements. You just pull story ideas out of your ass in a hope to bring readers to your blog. But you don’t care because as you once wrote, consider the source – it’s a blog.
I never said there was a connection or correlation between his previous charges and his death, unless by "correlation" you mean "the people who die in violent incidents in North Minneapolis are mostly no accounts with criminal records, not the decent people turning the neighborhood around."
In which case, we would be in complete agreement.
And to celebrate our complete agreement, in a few moments I'm going to write a shockingly similar blog post about yet ANOTHER dead guy killed in yet ANOTHER violent crime who had (oh my word!) a criminal record.
As for my speculation that a claim of self-defense will be made, OK, let's have a little wager right here, shall we?
If the person who stabbed him DOES NOT claim self defense, I will publish a photo of myself wearing a Mickey Mouse hat.
Oh, wait. I was going to publish that photo anyway, ha ha.
Seriously, what would you like to wager, anonymous commenter? That the woman claims self-defense? Hell, I bet the claim has already been made and we just need to catch wind of it. Like, honestly, how many people who fight with somebody else and kill that person DO NOT claim self-defense?
Also, let me add...
Somebody, give me a name. Give me the name of the other party.
Anon 12:34-
Maybes are like assholes. We all have them, but if they get used too much you don't pass the smell test!
Oh, I'd like to go after Anymous 12:34 myself a little bit...
How exactly am I supposed to get details about the fight when nobody--including other media at this point--even have the woman's NAME?
I have the criminal record. It's a highly relevant piece of info. I'm certainly not going to sit upon it, I'm going to publish it.
Well, ace reporter, I have her name. Since you are so big on the Hennepin County jail roster, why don't you go to the date of the offense, and look for a gal that was arrested that lives in the 2200 block of Girard N and charged with homicide. How fricken hard is that to do you douchebag. And other media outlets have her name, they just don't publish it until she is charged. (Hint, her initials are MW.).But that won't stop you because you have no journalistic ethics and are only concerned about how many hits your blog gets.
BTW, where are you getting all this time to blog? Aren't you supposed to be in active duty status? Guess you're not that important.
Actually, if you will examine my blogging pattern, you will see that when I am deployed or in training status, the number of blog posts I manage to put up goes waaaaay down.
There is a noticable difference in what I publish, too. I am not in North Minneapolis taking pictures myself--have to use pictures from other folks--I am not asking questions in person, or driving around seeing things (leaking water on 26th Ave. N., good example) or participating in community meetings where valuable info can be had, and published before anybody else, like low-hanging fruit.
Having said that, I dare say I'm still a more prolific blogger while living in a mud and straw fortress and getting iffy internet access than, I dare say, any other North Minneapolis blogger. Folks like Hawthorne Hawkman need to step it up to blog as fast and as well as I do with one hand tied behind my back.
Also, in regard to the issue at hand, the individual in question may very well use that address in question as her permanent address, then again, she might not.
Frankly, scouring the entire jail roster takes time and I am rather, er, preoccupied. Might have to go out on a convoy here, soon, to another FOB. Got to pack my accessories, like extra mags.
So I had rather hoped somebody might just cough up the name if I asked.
But, hey, I will take the little nugget you contemptuously dropped and see if somebody with the initials "MW" has been arrested, charged with murder, lives at that address...
Too the anonymous commenter at 5:38 PM.
Eight baby daddies? Snorts coke in (terribly expensive) POWDER form?
I doubt what you say is true but if you care to prove that, go right ahead.
OK, I looked over the entire "W" section of the roster on the "received by" portion. There is nobody who lives on the 2200 block of Girard Ave. N. on the "W" part of the roster.
There is nobody arrested for murder with the initials "MW."
Names, however, do drop from the roster.
So, can I buy a vowel or something? Anybody got the name?
I think I'd rather make you do the work. It only took me a minute. I searched by date. You don't have to scour the entire jail roster.
If I can find it, so can you. If you have time to blog about Kahn, you have the time to look it up yourself. You obviously are not that preoccupied with important military stuff.
No, I think I'd rather save my valuable time, since your other clue about the initials "MW" was a dead end, so your "search by date" advice will only waste my time. If you want to say "I told you so" and wave the name around, be my freaking guest.
if you wanna pay for that info be my guest! but anyways the intials MW is correct as they get and self-defense doesn't need to be proved for she is not in jail and it says no charge eight baby daddies and narcotics I don't need to prove that to nobody for my own reason for I know both parties! R.I.P Devric Hughes and still praying for MW cause I know she didn't mean to kill him
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office declined Monday to charge a 32-year-old woman in the fatal stabbing of Devric Hughes over the weekend outside a home in North Minneapolis.
After reviewing all of the evidence, prosecutors determined that criminal charges were not warranted as the woman acted in self-defense during the incident.
Minneapolis police investigators learned that the woman had been arguing with her boyfriend outside a home in the 2200 block of Girard Avenue N. about 2:40 a.m. Sunday. Hughes, 36, who was related to the boyfriend, began fighting with the woman and at one point produced a knife and cut her hand.
Hughes and the woman continued fighting and Hughes ended up on top of her and began to strangle the woman. She reached for the knife, which Hughes had dropped, and stabbed him. Hughes got off of her and she ran to a neighbor’s house for help. Hughes chased her and beat her several more times with a large stick before he backed away and collapsed.
Hughes and the woman were taken to North Memorial Medical Center. He died later in the day and she was treated for substantial injuries.
Oh, you're praying for her and Devric and at the same time you're offering to sell me her name? Aren't you a desperate little street character piece of work!
Fine.
How much do you want for the name? We can do this over the internet. I can mail you a money order from Afghanistan. Just don't be imagining that the info is worth very much or that I have very much, but I'm sure I could kick you enough to buy a couple of 40s.
Let's do some business, shall we?
While the dropping of the charges sounds justified, I'd be quite interested to know her record, and to do that I need her name. It's just not turning up on the jail roster for me.
Somebody, prove I'm not as adept with the jail roster as I think I am, and print that portion of with her name...
first of all I don't drink so no thank you on your offer of brew!I am no street character I'm a hard working individual who doesn't have time for that life style I live in the upscale portion of Edina so keep your check and go buy some facts jack!
Oh, in the UPSCALE part of Edina?
The anonymous troll asserts unprovable facts. Why don't you tell us you live ON THE MOON? It would mean just as much to the credibility of what you are saying.
Besides, I thought people in the "upscale part of Edina" could afford capital letters and punctuation.
John Hoff isn't allowed in the upscale part of Edina. Hell, 911 would be called if he even went south of Lake Street.
Boy Please! How you like them Apples? Jerk! bet you still don't know her name!
What an amusing and whimsical imaginary world you live in, troll.
My interest in her name is fleeting, at best. There are other stories to pursue.
“I’m not sure what your goal is regarding this blog but to me it seems like it’s basically to gossip. You’re writing this story based off of the media stories which were all incorrect. I get that those are your sources and you’re copying/pasting stories and public records. Word of advice… Keep it to that without the negative comments about the victim, whom you do not know personally. Aside from your insensitivity to post this on the day of his funeral, you fail to realize that these hurtful and incorrect stories and comments on the internet are what his children find when they google their dad’s name.
I’m not going to get in to bashing you or engage in arguing w/you about how many issues I have with this story in particular. My reason for posting is definitely NOT to boost how many hits or posts you get on this thing.
I just want it known that regardless of what happened that night between Devric and Michelle Kim Wallace, the result is that a man lost his life, children lost their father, a mother lost her son, siblings lost their brother, and many-many loved ones lost someone special. You post his criminal record like it has some sort of relevance in why he was MURDERED. If you read what you copied/pasted from pa.courts.state.mn.us website (like it takes a f*cking genius to do that) you would see that none of his criminal activity involved violence. Actually, she is the one w/the most recent criminal charges (one of which being 5th degree assault).
In fact, anyone who knew Devric personally would be able to tell you that he was the calmest and most laid back person you could know. He was caring, loving and just a joy to be around. He had a big heart and was a protector of those he loved and cared about. He took no joy in others misery. He was loved. He was special and he will be missed very much.”
Yes, thugs do give great store to being "laid back," don't they?
(With my mind on my money, and my money on my mind)
His criminal record tells decent people all they need to know about the man.
But thanks for the name. I will run it when I get around to running it.
That name you gave me? Michelle Kim Wallace?
I looked. Turned up no criminal record whatsoever.
It may be the Minnesota courts website is being glitchy (it will do that sometimes when I try to use it all the way from Afghanistan) but I don't think so. I think she's clean and you are full of it.
Post the info if you can prove different. You're just as capable of using that website as I am, possibly MORE capable given where you are located.
That's my fucking family and to put his business on blast like that bogus all those charges don't mean shit cause he didn't commit murder he was murder prosecution should be on the her not him fuck boy
No, actually, he wasn't murdered. He was killed in self-defense. Which makes HIM the bad guy and all his other bad guy stuff--the charges--are highly relevant.
It would be easier to understand what you're saying if you would write more clearly. Thanks.

It sounds as though if there is any tragedy, besides the taking of a life,it is that the man had a drinking problem and liked to do his drinking downtown. I don't think his first charge,or any charge that you posted, renders him to be a no-account,as you like to call him. Muffler too loud? Getting busted numerous times with the charge relating to alcohol? Man, sounds to me as if the guy HAD a drinking problem and liked to do his drinking downtown...oh, i said that already. Whether he was intoxicated when his life was taken, his "fault" or not, he liked to drink and was more than likely an alcoholic. Selling pot,or intending to, is something that anyone qualifies for who has ever sold a joint in the past and makes them a no account too. I'm fucking guilty, and he who is without sin should be the first to get stoned,or something like that. What do i know? I know alcohol ruins every fucking thing, destroys lives, and leaves nobody in its' wake praising its' glory. Good Day.
WOWWWW MOST OF EVERYTHING WAS IN 1998 THE LAST CONVICTION WAS IN 2003 LOL I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SOME RESENT THINGS I CANT BELIEVE ITS 2011 NOWWW WOWWWWWWWWW CLEAR EYES... THERE WERE DRINKIN CONVICTIONS. DRIVING I THINK I READ 1 0R 2 MARIJUANNA SELLS BUT NO DOMESTICS. ATTEMTED MURDER. OR ASSUALT. AND DID I MENTION THE LAST CONVICTION WAS IN 2003 AND ITS 2011 NOW. OH YEA THE GIRLS NAME WAS MICHELLE WALLACE. BIRTHDAY OCTOBER 15TH 1978 AND SHE ONLY BEEN IN MINNESOTA FOR ABOUT 2-3 YEARS. SHE HAS 7 KIDS. AND HER AND DEVRIC WAS NEVER TOGETHER. IT WAS DEVRICS FRIENDS GIRLFRIEND. DID I MENTION HE WAS STABBED IN THE BACK. HOW IS IT SELF DEFENSE WHEN U ARE STABBED IN THE BACK. AND HE DIDNT HAVE A KNIFE.

It seems that Johnny Northside needs to more research before he talks of something he does not know of. AND WHO IS HE? NOT GOD SO WHY JUDGE AND TALK OF SOMEONE HE DOES NOT KNOW A VERY BAD JOURNALIST . ALL THE STEREOTYPE B.S HE HAS SAID MAKES HIS CHARACTER BAD. THAT MAN HE TALKS ABOUT WAS VERY DEAR TO ME. TO MAKE JOKES AND SARCASTIC COMMENTS ABOUT DER'VIC IS NOT OKAY. SEEMS LIKE YOUR FEEDING OFF HIS DEATH TO MAKE U POPULAR I THINK THAT YOUR SICK.
ANONYMOUS SAYS:
IGNORANCE IS BLISS,ERGO I KNOW JOHNNY IF BLISSFULLY PROUD. I HOPE YOU AND YOUR 14 YEAR OLD SON MEET THE SAME FATE; AT THAT POINT WE KNOW THE SCUM OF THE EARTH AND HIS DESCENDANT IS WHERE THEY BELONG. ANYONE WHO JUSTIFIES TAKING A LIFE DESERVES DEATH THEMSELVES.I AM NOT GOING TO PERPETUATE IGNORANCE BY GIVING YOU THE SATISFACTION. I SERVED IN THE MILITARY TOO AND FOR ONE TO PRAISE THE DEATH OF A U.S. BORN CITIZEN IS INEFFABLE, NEVERTHLESS IT IS A TESTIMONY TO YOUR CHARACTER. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE ABOVE COMMENT, NEEDLESS TO SAY; FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION. A MAN WAS MURDERED AND STABBED MORE THAN THREE TIMES IN THE BACK WITH TWO FELONS AT THE SCENE, ONE WITH A ELECTRONIC LEG BRACE AND THE OTHER MALE WHO HAS BEEN IN PRISON FOR NUMEROUS REASONS INCLUDING WHITE SLAVERY. STOP EXTRAPOLATING AND GATHER FACTS, MURDER IS MURDER. THE STATE OF MINNESOTA JUST GAVE MICHELLE WALLACE A PASS TO KILL AGAIN. SHE IS KNOWN FOR BRANDISHING WEAPONS, SHE PULLED A KNIFE ON A PREGNANT WOMAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO MURDERING SOMEONE. THERE ARE TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS; IN MY OPININION IT WAS A RUSH TO JUDGEMENT ON A CASE THAT WAS CLOSED WITHIN 36 HOURS OF INVESTIGATING. WHY DID SHE FLEE SO ABRUPTLY FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNI? WHY WASN'T THE VICTIMS FINGERPRINTS NOT FOUND ON THE KNIFE? IF THE DILEMMA WAS REVERSED AND MICHELLE WALLACE MET HER DEMISE WITH AT LEAST 8 STAB WOUNDS, WOULD THE MALE ATTACKER BE FREED WITHIN 36 HOURS OF INVESTIGATING WITH A PLEA OF SELF-DEFENSE. I THINK NOT! UPON SPEAKING WITH THE PERSONEL ON DUTY AT THE HOSPITAL AFTER THE INCIDENT, MICHELLE WALLACE OBTAINED NO STAB WOUNDS, SHE HAD SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES ON HER HAND AND ONE SCRATCH ON HER NECK. LOOK FOR THIS WOMAN TO KILL AGAIN! DEVRIC HAD OVER 300 PEOPLE PAYING THEIR RESPECT, THAT ALONE TELLS YOU HOW MUCH HE WAS LOVED. LET HE WITHOUT FLAWS CAST THE FIRST STONE. IN MY MIND HE WILL ALWAYS BE A PROTECTOR AND A LEGEND. I WONDER IF YOUR DEATH WILL SOLICIT AN OUTPOUR OF LOVE AND RESPECT OR WILL YOU DIE LIKE YOU LIVE, LONELY AND DESOLATE.
Oh, cripes!!! with the capital letters and lack of paragraphs, it's enough to drive me to use multiple exclamation points!!!
First, just because Devric was stabbed in the back doesn't make it ipso facto NOT self-defense. While you rush out to look up the meaning of the Latin legal phrase "ipso facto," let me say this:
If he was on top of her, and they were ROLLING AROUND ON THE GROUND, and she got control of a knife and plunged it into his back...
Self-defense.
As for your other questions about Michelle Wallace, feel free to use this blog comment to speculate, answer your own questions aloud, whatever.
But as far as I can see, it was a case of criminal no account versus criminal no account.
Three hundred people paying respects, huh?
There must have been a free lunch in the church basement.
HOW DOES HIS CRIMINAL RECORD OF DRINKING AND SMOKING MARIJUANA JUSTIFY HIS MURDER? ARE YOU SAYING THAT EVERYONE WHO DRINKS, (WHICH IS LEGAL IN AMERICA) AND SMOKES MARIJUANA, (WHICH IS LEGAL IN SOME STATES IN THE GOOD OLD UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) DESERVE TO DIE OR HAVE THEIR LIVES TAKEN AWAY IN SUCH A GRUESOME FASHION. I BEG TO DIFFER! STOP PUTTING YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH; OR IS IT THAT YOU DON'T MIND BEING INDIFFERENT AND INCORRIGIBLE. YOU ARE DESTINED TO BURN IN HELL. YOU ARE A X FOR A REASON. I WOULD COMMEND THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD TO KEEP YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGY AWAY FROM HER SON. YOU ARE NOT A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL YOU ARE THE PARADIGM OF EVIL. THERE WILL BE NO MERCY ON YOUR SOUL BECAUSE YOU ARE LACKING A FOUNDATION.
ONCE AGAIN INGNORANCE IS BLISS, YOU HAVE NOTHING IMPORTANT TO SAY. I USE CAPITAL LETTERS FOR THE BLIND, BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME WITH SEEING THE LIGHT. I'M NOT HERE TO ELUCIDATE THE MENTALLY DEAD. YOU ARE A WASTE OF MATTER AND YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ARE IRRELEVANT. GET A LIFE AND A JOB, THOSE GESTURES MAY GIVE MEANING TO YOUR BEING. ALSO, SAY NO TO DRUGS BECAUSE YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY SMOKING SOMETHING. THAT CHURCH COMMENT JUST VERIFIES YOUR IGNORANCE AS A BONAFIDE GENTILE.
You are now conversing with the 17yo son of Devric Hughes. I am repectfully, requesting that u avoid making disparaging remarks about my father. My family has endured enough pain, allow us to grieve his untimely death in seclusion, without negative comments from those who are determined to smear his name. Leave my father alone and focus on the person that created a person of ur caliber.
Hmmmmmmm....imagine that!!! You the scum of the earth, dies as a result of a number of stab wounds to the back!! Jubilation in the air! Let's take a poll.
I don't see any comments about Michelle Wallace's record, Mr. Remiss. Initially, you were praising her act of violence and her clean record. Now what! Come out come out whatever you are! You inept fool! Your neuroticism is blatantly clear, you are a non-mothereffen factor. Prick!
Why are you not posting my comments Mr. Remiss. I choose not to use paragraphs when corresponding with a fool. Moreover, an educated individual could decipher the missive without paragraphs. Your comments are gratuitous and without merit. Allow me to take over this site, I guarantee a moral following without bias comments, but your main objective isn't to fight for justice, it is to degrade the memory of the dead and justify murder. Expound that self defense theory to the family members of the next family that Michelle Wallace destroys. After all, you are justifying her right to murder. You babbling idiot!
Why are you living in one area of Minnesota and commenting about what happens in another area of Minnesota. What are you doing to diffuse the activity that occurs on the Northside? Where is the money that you have invested in the neighborhood? When you're family experiences something as horrendous as a homicide I will smile about it in lieu of your pain. Does that make me indifferent, empathetic, or sympathetic. You fiend!
Why don't you devulge your house of evil, we would love to know where evil resides. You mentioned before that you do not reside on the north side of town, Mr. Remiss.
Johnny I must say that you are a f****** idiot and you lack intelligence. Please do not comment on things that you don't know about!!! You need to tend to the needs of your child and hope that he doesn't end up on drugs on the NORTHSIDE OF MINNEAPOLIS dead somewhere. You seem to believe that people have to prove things to your dim-witted ass do the research and you will have the facts that you need. I'm really tired of brainless individuals thinking that they know what is going on in the world based on information they picked up from unreliable resources. PLEASE GET A CLUE FOOL!
Oh, boy, looks like a whole lot of fact correction is in order.
First,
I never "praised" a clean record for Michelle Wallace. I merely said that, initially, I was unable to turn up any record and I even pointed out that sometimes it's difficult, all the way from Afghanistan, to get on the courts website with the information.
Second,
Mr. Hughes criminal record included more than drinking and smoking marijuana. Don't try to shade the facts that are already in front of all of us.
Third,
The claim by an anonymous commenter to have served in the military can be verified as well as a claim to be writing from the moon. When anonymous commenters make unverifiable claims to attempt to back up their rhetorical assertions, I will call them out on that.
Fourth,
I am still waiting for evidence that Kim Wallace has, as a commenter claimed, "8 baby daddies." That is bullshit.
Name the children.
Name the daddies.
Don't come here and make bullshit claims and not expect them to be called out as bullshit.
Fifth,
I live in North Minneapolis. I intend to reside there the rest of my life and be a pillar of the community in everything from picking up litter to serving on boards to whatever. The fact I currently serve in the army in Afghanistan does not change the fact I am a resident of North Minneapolis.
Sixth,
The authorities do not appear concerned about Kim Wallace killing again. I do not think there was a "rush to judgment."
All the same, any documentation I can get on this killing (autopsy reports, police reports, photos, whatever) will be published in due course. Those who wish to have a respectful debate about whether there was a "rush to judgment" are free to have that debate, within limits.
LAST--
If there was a delay in comments getting published, it was due to dramatic internet issues in Afghanistan.
Yes, there may be somebody else capable of approving comments, but if you're going to be an asshole, he or she will probably NOT approve those comments but will leave the final decision to me, thus delaying the publishing of potty mouthed comments.
Post Script To Last: Somebody claimed to be the 17 year old son of Mr. Hughes? Commenting here?
And I'm the Shah of Iran.
PROVE WHAT YOU SAY.
There should have been a possessive apostrophe in one of the sentences above, thus:
"Mr. Hughes' criminal record..."
Apologies.
I just wanted to say that you’re an asshole for making such hurtful comments about someone’s death. Whatever you believe regarding his guilt or innocence, you were not there and you do not know either party. So you should keep your thoughts and comments regarding the situation to yourself and focus your BS blog on the incorrect media stories that you rely on.
For One Johnny I understand I am late to the subject however my fathr passed three days before Deveric and as a good and close friend of the deceased and the family the way you paint this picture is totally wrong. I have known deveric since 1998 when i moved back to minnesota and i was 19 iam now 33 he has always been a stand up guy so what about his recordd! AND? Are you posting yours? I know you arent squeaky clean or maybe you might be because of expungements. Hmmm... one would wonder! You should really cancel this blog because you are slandering the common man not these celebrities out here I couls see this...But to come off AS IF you know my Good Good friend and defame his character is excuse me...BOGUS AS HELL! I dont see how you can sleep at night. What do you get off on slandering the black men of NoMi...little do you know he repped south side to so if you're going to be a hater Do it to the fullest! Unless you knew him you would say whatever but Dev never wanted to hurt anybody. Stood up for his family friends and even me. Was willing to help with my son when my son's ather abandoned ship. dev has his own kids but he darn sure let me know he was there. e was always there for his mom and I cant see how you can sit your POMPASS ass up her and talk all this bull about smeone you read a story about and ran his record. From my standpoint she should be in Jail and I WILL be there for Mrs. Hughes and the rest of the family in support of er being in jail since you seem to believe that murder is ok!!! Mrs. Hughs im so sorry for going off but the more i type the more i get angry...Im pretty sure you made some enemies off this one...
Yes, I read a story about him and I ran his record.
And then I gave you a forum to say what you wanted to say, badly spelled and lacking any paragraph breaks though it may be.
Hey John, it's Dazzle. Didn't plan on checking your blog again but I got bored, couldn't help myself and noticed that you didn't post my comment. I figured you wouldn't. But I gave you my email adress so we could discuss this...No response. you prooved to me exactly what I thought about you. Keep commenting about grammer and typos of those that are just so pissed off and hurt by your comments will forget about the fact that to type in the little comment box provided is not going to come across like a business letter. I understand that it's easier to be critical than it is to admit that you"re a fake. You have my email...Hit me back. Still waiting.
this is the brother of michelle wallace and the cousin of devrick hughes. there is alot being said and alot of miss info if u would like to know facts just ask, but every thing being said is very disapointing at such a time of grieving. i can be reached at foseasons4@yahoo.com
If you have pertinent facts you wish to air, go ahead and air them here in the comments.
Forget background, drugs, and alcohol. Since when can u say u stabbed someone in self defens when u stabbed them numerous times. Especially when the police report says she stabbed him while he was chocking her then she ran out. She must of stabbed him alot on her way out the door. Also if he really did everything she said, how could he possibly get stabbed in the back if he was really attacking her. If your going after someone u your not going to get stabbed in you back. last time I checked you can't shoot someone in the back and claim self defense, but now u can stab them in the back. If this was a dispute between 2 males, this would of at least been manslaughter. This country needs to stop all these sexist beliefs. Women want all the same rights as men but most of the time their prosecuted like children. If that woman died Devric would not get off with self defense, especially if he stabbed her in the back. This country needs to start prosecuting women the same way they do men. RIP Dev. We will always miss u.
It's so great to see somebody on my blog playing the gender card instead of the race card.
In regard to Hughes being stabbed "numerous times," where are you getting that info? How many times do you say he was stabbed and what was your source.
During my first tour of duty at an army hospital, I helped treat a guy who had about 21 stab wounds in his back. However, none of them were deep. All were through a thick leather coat.
It's not the number of the stab wounds, it's the deepness and location, isn't it? If he was choking her out and she stabbed him repeatedly in the back, it's still self defense. And gender is not an issue in that case.
And your example of "shooting someone in the back" has no relevance.
The authorities said self-defense. I am satisfied with their determination.
As far as the situation being reversed, Devric stabbing her while she choked him out...one must also consider weight and body strength. The two parties to this struggle were certainly not equal in that regard.
First of all i cant see how nobody is saying what happened when none of you where present when actions took place and i feel that people should mind there own damn business if there not the ones investigating the case. And i am a family member of both and i feel that its wrong for you all to just assume some shit thats way far fetched and don't have anything to do with any of you.
This is a blog. This is what we do.
We are, in a sense, the ones investigating the case.
I can see that writing things may not be of great interest to you, since you don't even know very simple grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.
But this is what we do.
And nothing is being "assumed," here, except an assumption the police did fine with their investigation. It's not exactly far fetched to trust the police but, then again, you may live in some kind of thug world where you don't think that way. I strongly suspect you do.
I will point out that you are having your say here, too. I don't agree with you, but you have a place to have your say.
Ignorance is bliss, so you must be full of it! You are pointing out and show casing the punctuational errors as well as grammarical errors, but yet you seem to posess so many unfortunate qualities, I would rather have to work on punctuation rather than my soul, unfortunately, the others commenting on this are recieving corrections on their written skills form you rather then sympathy from losing a best friend, father, partner, son etc I am unsure of how you sleep at night, and I know you will comment back on this with more harsh and irrational things but it will not affect me, I will pray for your forgiveness from the lord. Devric was a GREAt man, he may have stumbled along the way but he took and embraced factors form those situations that helped him to become the man he was at the time of his passing! You never met him so you cannot judge him, I seen above that his son asked you to not state negative or derogatory things about his father but you continued to do just that. I pray that your son will not have to deal with ignorance such as yours when you expire. Condolences to the family and loved ones of the decedent, oh, and by the way, I was at the funeral and there were over 300 grieving members that took apart of that ceremony, and there was NOT a free breakfast, nor lunch, nor dinner. You are a pathetic excuse of a man, neighbor or even member of society. Your poor family, your poor son.
Having not met him, I will make a judgment of him all I like from...
1.) His extensive criminal record.
2.) The circumstances of his death and the result of the police investigation who called it a case of self-defense.
3.) The comments made on this blog by those who align themselves with him; people whose writing skills are below high school level and whose main defense of Hughes seem to be something along the lines of, "Well, I sure liked him and you shouldn't criticize."
A weak defense, without evidence, and based on circular logic: I say he was good, therefore he was good.
However, I say he was bad, so he was bad. On what do I base that, besides my say so?
See points 1-3.
As for what my son will have to deal with when I die: if I die tomorrow, there will be a flag on my coffin, a gun salute from soldiers in uniform, and not just three hundred but about ONE THOUSAND soldiers at a memorial service, and that would just be the service in AFGHANISTAN, not the one in Minneapolis.
There would be a half a million dollar insurance payment to my son, and his college education would be taken care of by a grateful government. My name would eventually be carved on a granite wall with the names of other deceased soldiers.
How do I sleep at night? Very well, thank you. I am a productive member of society, in wartime service to my country.
Hughes, in contrast, was a troubled soul and an unproductive member of society, who died that way. Having died in such a public manner, and his death having been the subject of an investigation, it should be expected that his death would be the subject of interest and commentary by those in the neighborhood.
But I have moved on. You are the one keeping this discussion alive.
It's my blog. Do you honestly think you're going to come here, wipe your mouth all over it, and get the last word?
Logic!
You say you serve? but do you really? easy to say isn't it!
No proof to back that up, isn't that what you keep insisting from everyone is proof, well, where is yours???
Your right I did keep the conversation going, and I will continue to do so!
Amazing how your writing became impeccable, when commenting on my verbage was not an option, although I did mis spell from!!
Au revoir
Nomi (no meaning)
RE: Hughes, in contrast, was a troubled soul and an unproductive member of society, who died that way.
>>>These are the sort of comments that cause so much feed back on your blog. Perhaps that's what you're going for but in the name of a life lost? How human are you?
What I don't understand is the fact that even if you're trying to be controversial, I get it. But when you justify the loss of another human being by reciting their non-violent criminal record and see a problem with that, it really makes people question your humanity.
When you say "unproductive member of society" do know if Mr. Hughes ever volunteered his services to feed the homeless or help as needed in various churches regularly, or just talk to youth about his experience as being a young black male raised in the inner cities with the intentions of providing them with incite on some of the good or bad decisions that he made (before you insinuate, it was not court ordered community service)?...I do! Does his volunteering mean that he's a saint? No; no more than his non-violent criminal charges and/or convictions justify his death without penalty.
You, Mr. Johnny "so called" Nothside, are way too quick to judge. What is the purpose of your blog? Are you trying to inform the community that you would like to claim? Or, is your purpose to hurt the family and loved ones of those who have lost someone by criticizing a life that you clearly do not understand? I have yet to see a post on your blog from anyone whe obviously knew or knew of Devric state that he never made mistakes or bad decisions. What I do see over and over again is exactly what I know of him and that is that he was caring, loving, enjoyed a good party and spending time with those he cared about.
RE: The authorities said self-defense. I am satisfied with their determination.
>>>That's only because Devric was not a family or friend of yours.
Based on your assessment, in your opinion OJ must have been innocent???
The only reason people continue to post on your blog regarding this story is to defend the memory of Mr. Huges against your comments.
To prove to your readers that you are human and in the interest/respect of his family, please close this blog to further posts and I ask you to please discontinue to post negative comments regarding Mr. Hughes.
RIP Dev.
HEY... anonameass 11:52, fuck you and the camel who left you in the desert baking like a fossilized feces pie. It amazes me that anonameasses have the nerve to keep calling John on proof that he is in the military. Can i get corny and suggest all of you fake posting pukes cannot see one goddamn tree in the forest because the other ones are in the way...or something? One-Adam fucking 12, see the shameless idiots blather like they really give a fuck.
Here is a big shoutout to all of you who like to debase veterans who put it all on the line to protect your smelly, rank asses FUCK YOU AND BURN IN YOUR RESPECTIVE HELL. Good Day. P.S. Thank you again, John, and i wish all the ladies were pies on the shelf and i was the baker, i'd eat 'em all myself. Stay safe.
Moving on. Nothing to see here, folks.
Oh, in regard to OJ.
Your "OJ analogy" is fatally flawed because OJ was found responsible in a *civil* suit for the death of his ex-wife.
lolololololol!!! Another "veteran" came forward! Taa-daa! It's magic
