Colon Brothers were living in New York when Anthony's Brother got shot. Before the incident his brother always stood up for him because he saw the good in him. Because the killer did this Anthony then had hated everyone. He and his brother were close. After the killer served 20 years in jail, Anthony got the chance to meet with his killer. Michael, the killer, thought that it would be a big fight between him and Anthony. The two of them actually became friends in the end.
I think this is an amazing story. Too bad someone had to get killed for the two of them to realize that they both have amazing potential in life. At least it all works out in the end. RIP to Anthony’s brother. He will always be remembered in Michael and Anthony’s mind.

Good for him for forgiving I guess. If I ever met the killer of a friend or family member I would not talk or become friends with them. Everyone has the right to forgive and forget so it's not impossible for this type of thing to happen. I guess it makes sense if the person has changed over time.
i didnt think that he would forgive him you cant hate someone if they are going to ask you for forgiveness or try to change there life I am glad they are working together so that other people have to go through similar things they went through
I think this is interesting, personally as someone who has a sister I would not want to be friends with the killer even if they are trying their best to be better. I dont think i would be happy seeing the face of my sibling's killer, somewhat sweet ending tho.
wow. this story is so amazing. I cant believe Anthony forgave him. I guess that you cant hate someone if they ask for forgiveness and try to change their life and do something positive with it. I am glad that they are working together so that other young people have to go through the same things they went through.
I don't really see them becoming friends. but I think it's cool that he forgave him.
That is really really strange. They became friends? If it were me I would want to rip the guy's head off.
I'm glad they were able to get along and become friends. Everybody needs a friend in life but I could never be friends with anyone that killed my brother.
I would not become friends with the killer..
I really don't know how anyone could become friends with their siblings killer! I know I couldn't do it and this really isn't the best way to honor your brother.
Thats a weird way to become friends. I feel sorry that the brother got shot but as for a new friend glad it shows how far and much forgiveness can do.
