Note to parents: this can happen to you. Be more compassionate.
Who woulda thought not only ignorance would come out in comments, but the race card was a given! THAT'S WHY IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY! You're so ignorant, that YOU MADE it an issue, before it was even spoken of. Sounds like your parents failed you somewhere and you could be the next one to go "crazy". Obviously, you have your own set of "issues". LOW LIFES!
If only there was a special place for ALL of you! That way you can only blame yourselves for playing the "RACE CARD"! PATHETIC!
Yep, they "kills" their parents or grandparents.
The only factual thing you are "stating" is that you're pathetic. Race should have never even been brought up here. This is a story about a very troubled teen (obviously) and an innocent woman/grandmother. SO WHAT...who CARES WHAT COLOR THEY ARE! It's an unfortunate situation and THAT'S what the focus of this conversation should be about....PERIOD! NOT the size of his ears or his ethnic background etc. I guarantee you, the ones saying that garbage, are nothing to look at, as well. Probably hoodlum, no good "kids" themselves. Just a guess...
His photo IS up (I dunno WHAT you are looking at that you cannot see that) and will most likely REMAIN UP, for "days", as you stated!
Another stupid racist keeping "it" alive. Then it shall REMAIN ALIVE, but quit your bellyaching about it! You people are amazing!
Another sign of your ignorance. "Where does such ignorance come from!? Maybe from living in that there "Buggy Town". Quite comical-".
#1) Obviously, I don't speak like I have zero to little education and #2)as I stated, maybe the ignorance derives from that small town. So, that would have (or should have) eluded me to think that one does not live in that town, after making a statement like that. I can ASSURE you, I live nowhere near any of you. Because I'm not "stupid" as you described insinuated I might be. Maybe you should contact the paper and advise them you don't care for the way they run their business. Better yet, tell them you find that they like white people better. That'll surely show your level of intelligence. So old...find something new to complain about AMERICA! OR, you could always go back to "Africa".
Totally away from the subject at hand and something else you all might think about as you call this boy names...his family has to read this too. I think the grandmother has suffered enough and shouldn't have to read all of this garbage!
Not only do you display ignorance, but also NO CONSIDERATION!
Furthermore, "ain't" doesn't exactly place you in the category of being able to "speak well" either.
Buckhead is a long ways away from Barnesville....so technically, you aren't from "around there" yourself. And...since you have only ridden through there once...what interest do you have in their paper? Yet, you "qualify" to comment and I don't?
Well, "heck fire" (aka I'm a hick) the double standards keep coming...you are "assuming I am a "yankee". LOL!
That would be "minimal", not minimum...FYI
AND....yeah, I've heard of Buckhead. I worked there for years, thanks.
Kinda odd you throwing the race card out there, when you're white. Not really seen that one before. So, what else is one to do, other than assume? YOU "assumed" alot about me also....none of which are accurate.
You don't have the education of a scholar yourself. Obviously....
Done, obviously, you have nothing better to do, living in Buckhead and all.
Does every issue in this paper have to boil down to slandering one another. Come on people, GROW UP ALREADY!
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste".
The Gov. is doing their job very well, keeping us at each others throat.The politicians that keep the race issue alive are the ones making the money by us not paying attention what they do with their left hand while they shake our hands with their right.
WE THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SINK TOGEATHER,IF WE WANT TO OR NOT.
WE THE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN THIS. IF WE ARE GOING TO SURVIVE AS THE GREATEST NATION THAT HAS EVERYONE (some dying in the process) wanting to earn their piece of pie that is not offered anywhere, and we my fellow AMERICANS,are pissing it out the window. It truly is a shame. Parents will have to get more involved with hands on teaching their children more and not depend on gov. schools to do everything for them. It was never designed to be a teach-all. Just the three Rs
yall just commit with stupid racist comments call yall enjoy the anonymity. all races xreat crimes whether you're purple blue black white brown orange! accept it fools!!!!
Followup: He only received 5 years in prison and five years probation! Plus he gets the time he served(1.5years) taken off so he will only serve 2-3 years in prison for attempting to kill his grandmother.
smh.
