    I met him and I don't want to kick a man when he's down, but he seemed very arrogant to me. I didn't like him. It was easy to see in his eyes and mannerisms that he was a guy who was wild and was not going to change his ways.

    I wasn't really surprised when I heard he got shot because I figured he was still up to his usual wild party ways and infamous mischeviousness and that it would only be a matter of time before someone who had nothing to lose got pissed at him and shot or stabbed him. Although, to be honest, I most figured he'd end his days in jail, not in a sudden shooting.

    It seems like they're hoping for what isn't there....they're not doing Hector or themselves any favors or good by leaving him on the machine.

    But to be fair it is a very tough decision. I am not religious and like you can see from a distance, there is going to be no 'miracle'. But if it was someone in my family, I would have that emotional attachment to deal with that might 'cloud' my judgement.

    I hope it is just a matter of the family being given time to 'rationalize' the decision, rather than something more fanciful or indeed sinister.

    It's so hard for the grieving family to give up someone like Hector.

    True, but now's not the time to get into stuff like that.

    The fam is having a hard time letting go. I think if we were in their place we would also have a hard time dealing with it.

    Sadly, it's over.

    Because the heart had stopped beating, Hector "Macho" Camacho was taken off life support today at 1:40 a.m. local time, according to Michelle Estrada.

    Rest in peace.

    RIP Hector Macho Camacho
    Much respect to this man. Still the fastest pair of hands and feet I've seen.

    I loved him because I first love the boxer over the fighter, I loved him because he was excellent, I loved him because he proved it time & time again, and his only real serious defeats were against TOP Class stronger men, and there is absolutely NO SHAME in that, especially when you've got a whole history of meeting them!

    God Bless you & forgive you Hector, thank you and we'll see you in the Courts of the KING!
