Vigil To Be Held for Aryel Amin

Former Dublin High School student will be remembered Tuesday evening at a candlelight vigil

A candlelight vigil will be held Tuesday night at 6 p.m. at Emerald Glen Park in Dublin to remember the life of Aryel Amin.

Jasmine Davidson, a Dublin High School graduate, says the vigil is being coordinated by former Dublin High School students and friends of Amin.

Davidson recommends bringing your own candles to the vigil and pictures of Amin.

She says the group will be accepting donations and allowing people to order t-shirts for $20 during the event.

All of the proceeds and donations will go the Amin’s father, brother and sister, according to Davidson.

Davidson says she was best friends with Amin.

“[I was] very shocked. She was one of my best friends,” said Davidson. “It is still hard to swallow.”

Amin, 19, was a 2011 graduate of Dublin High School. She was in a on Interstate 580 on Friday afternoon.

Amin was the editor of the school yearbook and was on the girls’ volleyball team.

A Facebook page has been established in memory of Amin. A YouTube video in her memory has also been posted.

You cannot compare the behavior of a wild animal versus a domesticated animal.

No offense, but keep drinking the kool-aid. I don't think all pit bulls are dangerous anymore thanRead More I think great white sharks will get every surfer, but God knows when they bite the person being bitten is in grave trouble!

Actually, Pit Bulls are one of the most well-behaved, well-trained dogs out there, to both theirRead More owners and their familes, if they are trained to be that way. Only drawback to Pits, though, is that they drool a lot, just like any other hunting dog out there. Back in 2009, there was a story in Berkeley about how a Pit Bull saved her owner's life in a house fire, and all anybody could see was that it was a Pit Bull and nothing more. If you train a dog to have a nice and sweet disposition, guess what, the dog will have a nice and sweet disposition. And if you train a dog to fight, maim and kill, guess what it's gonna do? Doesn't matter the breed. I've known Dachshunds who were mean and resorted to biting in an instant as I have known Pit Bulls who were nice--but slobbered a lot. And about the only reason that Pits have the reputation that they do out there is more to do with the viewpoint of the person who believes that all Pits are dangerous to begin with and that perhaps one of their other biases may be a work here, like they hate people whom they believe to be "trash" or "thugs" perhaps, but that's more an indication of their prejudice than their experience with these dogs or any other breed out there. I've known Springer Spaniels out there that started out as sweet dogs with nice dispositions, but as they aged and their brians atrophied into cancer, they turned into vicious dogs and had to be put down. Like people, dogs are individuals, too.
