"He was a beautiful person," says friend of man killed by SWAT
"The Palin that I know is a man who loves his children," said Mariah Martir, who cannot understand why he walked out of his home with a gun after a hostage standoff, only to be killed by a sharpshooter.
"He was strong in his faith, he loved his family and he loved his wife," she said, while acknowledging that Perez Jackson was in a troubled relationship.
"He loved children, he loved being a father, he took care of his responsibilities," she added.
Born in Cleveland and raised in Brooklyn, he was an artist who moved to Orlando and Martir said he's left behind a lot of friends.
"People are really hurting right now, that were close to him, now that he's gone."
His last writings on Facebook
Palin's facebook postings started at about noon Wednesday. At first he seemed rather calm, saying bluntly, "Hey, I'm in a hostage standoff."
Shortly after that he alerts his online friends that the SWAT team has arrived at his house and says they "won't let me talk to my family."
Worried, friends post comments on his page telling him "there has to be another way." They plead with him to speak with police negotiators.
"Think, think, think... you too smart and talented," says another friend.
But Palin becomes more agitated saying, "I just want to talk to my family is all. I'm not a threat. I'm not suicidal. Everyone know it when they kill me."
Finally, two hours after his first post, Palin ends with, "I did my best."
The artist
On skinnybuddha.com, Perez Jackson was quoted as saying about his work, "I want to be remembered as a painter, not a Latino painter, nor a Brooklyn or Cleveland painter, just a great painter. My art is angry, sexy and funky; it's like a punch in the face. I try to fuse hate, love, religion and politics with a little bit of poetry and hope. In the end, it just looks cool. Peace."
What others are saying
- PrimaWow LOL your funny. I'm glad you came out the closet. Finally a word from the suicidal!! Whatch out don't cut your veins on this on. Well maybe yeah cut them because you don't deserve to be around them kids anyways. next time if your gonna try and kill yourself do it the right way you LOSER. You couldn't even do that right. Your a waste of life. For Real! Well to inform you, unlike you, I can support myself and my kids. I do have a job a good one at the and I don't need no man to do it. At least I am not in a homeless shelter. Do you even know how to read? Who wrote all that stuff for you girl. You need to start informing the men that you were sleeping around with that you have AIDS you know you can go to jail for that too. So not only did you kill my cousin but you are killing other people with your lies and deceit. And don't ever claim my cousin as your husband. You were NEVER privileged to have the PEREZ name. Get it right. He cared not only for the 2 kids he had with you but the 2 kids you had with the two other pimps you had in your life. He loved them kids, matter fact all his kids deeply. And I know that for a fact. We didn't have to talk to each other everyday to know what was going on. Everyone told us how lovey, dovey you guys were the weekend before he got shot. How they took you guys shopping for the kids clothes how you guys were kissing and hugging all over each other. And we were also told how you were outside screaming at the top of your lungs for no reason and Jun was looking at you like you were crazy. Oh believe you must be crazy for pulling that stunt you did. But at the end of the day, Jun is in a better place. He doesn't have the devil sleeping in his bed everyday. For the rest of your pathetic life you will suffer in one way or another. In life and after you will suffer for all the EVIL that you have inside and that you have caused to my family and the kids. Jun was and is loved by many people... Maybe you couldn't handle that,and that's why you had him killed. Many of his poems said how you wanted him dead and that will be used in court. Have a nice life, the little that's left of it, you scum bucket prostitute. LOL give the kids a kiss from their tit's and tell them that we will always love them and one day they will be back with their true family. Perez blood runs thick and strong baby you can't ever change that. PEACE!
- primaYour an idiot you were never in my husbands life and never ever knew anything because you chose to act like you didnt know what was going on not just i nour relationship but also his and mireyas you can say whatever you like but you werent there and i refuse to let you treat me like a killer you dont know what he was thinking and of course you never knew the truth about anything because your too stupid to figure out anyhting logically go ahead and be on brown and jollys side your in the bucket of idiots earthsurpers and bottom feeders good luck with your life and that loser your with for real hope he supports you well while hes in and out of prison hahahahaha.....keep on bein a bird you wlefare mother
- JunNow she left the house calling the police saying that he was threatening her and the children. If that was true, how did she get out the house..Why would she leave her children in the house with a man that was supposedly keeping keeping them hostage..Im sorry but if I was really in a situation like this I will tell you that I am going to stay by my kids til the death!!! Now all the facts are there..If she is lonely and she doesn't have friends or family..she should have thought about that before calling the police to make up lies so that they could kill HIM..The police might have shot him but she is the one that killed him..Physically, mentally and spiritually..And I don{t care what anyone says I know what the truth is and I know that GOD is on our side and justice will get served and everyone responsible for the pain that all 8 children are suffering thru and my family.Maybe next time she tries to commit suicide she makes sure that she does it the right way....And hopefully she doesn't do it in front of those kids AGAIN.God will take care of her..maybe not today or tomorrow but she will live the rest of her life in hell for what SHE has caused.
- JunI would just like to shut everyone's mouth real quick.My cousin, Palin, was a big brother to me. I have been around him since a baby. I have been around him with his ex wife and other 4 kids..And never once did I ever see Jun put his hands on that woman..He struggled of course but we all do. We grew up in the gutter together..were the only people we could depend on was our family, each other. I know how much he loved his kids. He loved his kids more then anything and would go thru hell for his kids. Because that's the kind of family we are. Now I only met his girlfriend(I will never give her the privilege of calling that thing his wife)once and she was ok but he did let me know everything that she did. Now you want to get technical with it..I can get technical with it..This girl, left my cousin with all 4 kids, not just the 2 that they had together but all 4 and disappeared leaving him to raise them by herself..I'm pretty sure she didn't want her other two kids but since they were not his blood children they gave the kids back to her.But he loved those children as his own.Now you explain this to me..How does a girl that was gone for almost 3 months, coming to see her children each time with a different man in the car. Goin around the town living with different random men that were coming to the house threatening to kill him all the time in front of HIS kids.Now if he was really that bad to him then why did she want to come back. After all the things that she did to HIM..For his children he took her back.. The love for his children...
- you knew how hw was tooits funny how you can say to someone else that they didnt know the circustances but neither did you where were you and how long did you know he was an angry messed up person. how often did you try to help him or his family. You throw tons of fingers to the spouse and shake it all in her direction yet havent once shook it at your self for the selfish acts you bestowed upon them like the tax thing Yeah I know I knew both of the extremely well. Your lucky someone doesnt report you for doing that to them. You have just as much blame as everyone else if not more. You knew exactly how your brother was even before he got with that girl and you trying to ignore that and put all the blame towards her just shows your a coward and selfish. Why not help her out and what about the kids? She and the kids are completely alone know. They have no one out here to help them . She has to do everything by her self from scratch. No Family no friends no one on her side. SHe was the victim and you know that. Dont pretend you dont because it doesnt just go away. Grow up and be a woman
- palin perezjacksonto the idiot that commented on my brother's death. You didn't know the circumstances nor do you know him. He wasn't the man that they portray him to be. But of course the cynical world being what it is made this into something it's not karma is a B*** so watch what you do and say because life has a funny way of making you eat your words. prepare yourself judge ye lest ye be judged moron.
- Thank GOD Palin Perez Jackson is Gone he got what he deserved what happened .. He fought the law and the law won.
- great man, a great friend.Palin was a great friend to me at a time when i really needed one. i will never forget his amazing kindness and compassion. He was an amazing artist and person. I will miss him a lot.
