Company: Bedside Gun Rack Would Have Saved Hudson’s Family

Jennifer Hudson

Company: Bedside gun rack would have saved Hudson’s family.

A press release from a company with no ties to actress Jennifer Hudson has tied the actress’ recent family tragedy to shotgun racks. Home Back-Up Protection chose the peculiar, if not opportunist, news angle of Hudson’s three murdered relatives to ask: “Could a bedside shotgun rack have saved Jennifer Hudson’ family from tragic death?” Home Back-Up Protection’s release goes on to describe a $40 product that can be attached to a bed mattress, allowing sleeping homeowners to keep shotguns literally at their sides. “Whether it is someone known or a stranger entering the home, too many people from this country are paying with their lives during these home invasions,” reads the pitch. “The Hudson family is just one of far too many Americans gunned down in their own home.” No details released by police have indicated that Hudson’s mother, brother or nephew were murdered while sleeping or even after a home invasion. “I really feel sorry for these people,” says John Peters, Home Back-Up’s president. “I just don’t want this to happen to someone else.”

I think that this ..’ message”..should not have been given by this company at this time of sorrow for the hudson family. but I do believe in protecting your family form home invasion. I also think that if you become famous you should have a certain amount of protection provided for your family, you have to many nuts that want to hurt and take for no reason just look at the messages you see on this site from people that want to hurt other people and don’t even know them. I would keep some type of protection in my home because if someone ever comes in while you are home you will have a chance at living. ..”God” .forbid if someone comes in your home and you don’t have anything to protect your family and one your family member gets hurt and you had the chance to buy protection you will allways say why did not do this . I do believe that the best protection is ..”Prayer”. and a good hard fight if needed

carolyn said on October 30th, 2008

I think that it was in very poor taste to mention the Hudson tragedy in this ad. I feel it is morally wrong to attempt to capitalize off of a family’s sorrow. This advertisement should be removed, its the humane thing to do.

mari said on October 30th, 2008

It sounds like an advertisement for their new proudcut thats geting ready to hit the market to me.

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER MY CONDOLENCE TO JENNIFER HUDSON AND FAMILY. THEN I WOULD LIKE TO COMENT ON THE GUNRACK, NO IT WOULDN’T HAVE SAVED THERE LIVES. I DON’T BELEAVE JENNIFER’S MOTHER WOULD HAVE WANTED TO LIVE LIKE THAT, HAVING A GUN IN THE HOUSE.LIKE I READ ON BET.COM SHE WAS GOOD TO EVERYONE, SHE DIDN’T SEEM LIKE THE TYPE OF LADY THAT WOULD LIVE IN FEAR.JENNIFER ALWAYS KEEP GOD FIRST IN YOUR LIFE. AND FOCUS ON ALL THOSE WONDERFUL MEMEORIES YOU ALL SHARE, CAUSE THAT’S WHATS GOING TO GET YOU THREW THESE DIFICULT MOMENTS.THERE SPRITS LIVE ON. ITS LIKE YOU WERE DEALT AND BAD HAND OF CARDS, BUT KNOW THIS GOD WILL GET YOU THREW THIS. JENNIFER I LOVE YOUR CD,IT’S OFF THE HOOK. GOD BLESS YOU ALL, MY HEART IS AS HEAVY AS YOURS, CAUSE CAN’T NO ONE REPLACE MOMA,BROTHER OR NEPHEW. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL. YOU HAVE A LONG ROAD A HEAD BUT YOU CAN DO IT. LIKE MY MOM ONCE SAID GOD DON’T PUT NO MORE ON YOU THAN YOU CAN BARE. WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE THAT’S SO DEAR AND CLOSE TO YOU, HOW DO YOU GO ON.? WITH THE HELP OF GOD. I PRAY THAT YOU ALL GET CLOSEUR TO WHY DID THIS HAPPEN AND THE PERSON DID THIS PAY FOR THIS CRIME, EVEN THOW I KNOW IT WON’T BRING YOUR FAMILY BACK, BUT IT WILL BRING PEACE TO THE FAMILY.

that is so inconsiderate of Company, to use them as a propaganda….i fully agree with u Black Panther…….i feel that is really wrong and disgrace ful̷ 0;… ;.u can never solve violence with more violence.it wud never work….Company u really need to get a reality check honestly!

virginia said on October 30th, 2008

i think for using the hudson family to pitch this idea is wrong, but i get where they are coming from there is a lot of home invasions in the world today i find it terrible thart people these days are not safe in there own homes anymore, that’s just my opinion.

rose said on October 30th, 2008

u are so right..how can u solve violence with violence.. we all need to pray for the hudson family and continue to pray in jesus name.

neree said on October 30th, 2008

Why is this message advertised at this time.this family is suffering and this company is advertising violence with violence,what kind of mess is that.I thought we were suppose to stop stuff like this a long time ago. Don’t get me wrong i don’t have a problem with protecting your self but when god calls your name to leave this world your going to leave wether or not it is peacefully or tragicly. Now the only thing left to do for the family is to except it,it’s going to be hard and may take a while and seek after God like you haven’t seeked him before because times are getting evil and so r people.I’m praying for this family.

Candice said on October 30th, 2008

tacky!

seschris said on October 30th, 2008

This company is taking advantage of the Hudson tragedy to promote guns and to sell a product. The ad is in very poor taste. While I believe that the blood of Jesus protects my family I also believe in personal protection. Therefore, my hubby and I plan to shoot anybody that is in our house trying to hurt us our house.

QUEENOFUNIVERSE said on October 30th, 2008

THAT WAS NOT AN INVASION ON THEIR HOME. THEY LET THAT PERSON IN. IT WAS SOMEONE THEY KNEW AND TRUSTED…

NO GUN IS GOING TO SAVE YOU IF YOU ARE ATTACKED BLINDLY.
NO GUN IS GOING TO SAVE YOU IF ITS YOUR TIME TO DO.

MY HEART IS HEAVY EVERYTIME I THINK OF THIS HORRIFIC STORY.
I LOST MY ONLY SON TO THE SAME VIOLENCE, IT IS A PAIN THAT NEVER GOES AWAY. GOD BLESS JENNIFER AND HER FAMILY.
I PRAY HER CAREER IS NOT RUINED BY THIS….WILL SHE FIND THE STRENGTH TO GO ON. THANK GOD SHE HAS A MAN THAT LOVES HER, AN SHE DOES HAVE A SISTER.

DIONNE said on October 30th, 2008

ANYONE WHO SUPPORT THE ADVERTISEMENT AND SAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM NEED TO BE SHOT.

Fred said on October 30th, 2008

DIONNE,

VERY SMART ANSWER…YOU MOTHER MUST BE PROUD!

Y Lord said on October 30th, 2008

Black Panther, why did you choose that name and then suggest that no one use whatever means to protect themselves. Since when does a Black Panther say just lay down and die. They (Jennifer’s family) had to have known their assailan t(s)R 11;other wise I am sure they would have attempted to protect themselves. Self-preservation, do you know what that is Black Panther?

Lakiesha said on October 30th, 2008

I really don’t think a gun rack on the side of the bed is a very bright idea either. Come on think about the kidz. I really don’t know what this world is coming to. But us BLACK people need to wake up. OH!!! I know most of you just don’t have a heart.

Raine said on October 30th, 2008

Are you Fu@kin serious. No the damn gun rack wouldnt have saved them.guns dont kill people stupid motherf#$kers with guns kill people.
I cant believev this company is tryna advertise their sorry a$$ product at a time like this. This tragedy should not be used to gain consumers for this sorry a$$ company. “God dont like ugly” remember that.
to The Hudsons stay strong and put your faith in god thats the only way to make it through.
and to the retards talkin about that stupid dating site get a life and stop wasting blog space!

Mika said on October 30th, 2008

BULLCRAP! THIS WAS A STRAIGHT UP OPPORTUNITY TO ADVERTISE THEIR PRODUCTS!! Obviously these ignoramus’ do not have a small child in their home…????????? Furthermore, DUH, Jennifer’s nephew was only SEVEN YEARS OLD, DUH! Many of us PARENTS do not want a freakin’ gun all out in the open like that when we have children…curious and very impressionable children, that we already have to constantly monitor their viewing of violence that they see on television and in various media outlets! UGH! I mean really, do that many of us parents with small children have SUCKER written across our foreheads?!

Damn, just Damn!

Brian A. said on October 30th, 2008

That was lame….
It’s as if they were happy this incident happened because it provided “an opportunistic marketing scheme”. That company is ran by insensitive lowlifes.

D-Rizzo said on October 30th, 2008

bidness is bidness. I be cashin in on that if I could too. If she be using her fame to help find the nephew (and make everybody think she be the only one that needs help), anybody can do the same for theyselves and use the fames for advertisement. Hudson cant have it both ways. She be fat anyways and she aint big-boneted, and her mama had a big gap in her teeths. Im sorry for the nephew, but it be easy to make more little niglits in the future to replace him with all the baby dadys leaving they kids behind.

It is a shame that others use other peoples tragedy for personal gain. This is blantantly a sales pitch. How insensitive of this man. I pray on the motives of his heart. God Bless America!!!

nicee said on October 31st, 2008

WHAT A INSENSITIVE B**** THE NERVE OF THIS PERSON AT HER FAMILY’S TIME OF GRIEF AND SORROW!!

Shalonda said on October 31st, 2008

I do believe that is tacky…Guns should not be aloud in the home when there are children residing there, or any weapons for that matter. But I do believe in protecting your home. It is hard to understand and say “why me” from reading articles and such, Jennifer’s mom was a caring person and many loved her, but there were issue’s in the family that were not taken very seriously. To the Hudson Family “Stay Strong and deep in Prayer” God knows your pain, he wants to protect and help you get through this tragic loss. Let Him. God Bless and keep you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

TRU said on October 31st, 2008

i’m sorry to hear about what happen you are a very special person
and the Lord know this so my heart goes out to your family stay sweet and black stay you

jayla said on October 31st, 2008

I am ashamed of what you said, D-RIZZO. Obviously, you have not experienced any great pain in your life.

Natalie Jordan said on October 31st, 2008

Jennifer:

Please just know that the entire COGIC, INC. church family is holding you and yours up in Prayer, that GOD will sustain you in the days to come and that no matter how but you might feel, GOD IS ALWAYS THERE, HE IS ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE AND HE WILL ALWAYS LIFT YOU UP. YOUR MOM, BROTHER AND NEPHEW ARE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE, WHERE HURT, HARM AND DANGER WILL NEVER TOUCH THEM AGAIN. THEY ARE RESTING SAFE IN JESUS’S ARMS.
GOD BLESS YOU JENNIFER, HANG ON IN THERE, THE SCRIPTURE SAYS CAST ALL YOU CARES ON HIM FOR HE CARES FOR YOU. I KNOW GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.
