The students at Bradford University have come together to support the Snowden family. Many students were asked their thoughts on his death. These are some responses.

"Its absolutely horrific," said a BU student. "Egregious and sad that a beautiful soul, friend, and family member was killed."

"It crushes me so much that someone as kind as Roberto died in such a violent manner." said Victor Herrera a very close friend of Roberto. "He was such a light in this dark world."

"Staff and the school has mentioned his name, not once, but every time it is brought up they dismiss him like nothing." said angered students. "He deserves better than what the school is giving him and I pains me that this is how it is being handled. Its absolute shit. We are going to hold a vigil for Roberto."
