If you folks have children had better be careful what you say because if you have children you could face this same thing someday .Be kind or be left behind.

When anyone does wrong and it hits the papers
There will always be a court of public opinion.
Expect it!

These children foisted this on these parents. NOT US!

I have no sympathy for druggies with weapons!
Thats how little girls playing in the front yards of their homes that
have never done a thing to anyone end up dead and that yellow
line on the grass or street.

If I was their mother, I would go down and ask to see them
and yank them by their bloody ears and by the time I got
through with these hoodums of mine, there wouldn’t be
anything left to judge by anyone.

OK I’m done!

actually, i do have sympathy for the parents of these two young adults…often, no matter how properly parents can raise their children, they (grown kids) will still insist on learning things “the hard way” and making some very bad choices….and, im sure that it is painful for the parents/loved ones to read some of the comments posted here.

I cant believe how people are reacting about the situation… yes it happened but what you read is only half the situation… I dont think that we should be judging people on what you hear… do ur research Im a friend of the mother of these two guys and the klast thing these families need is for people with negative attitudes to be commenting like this about their children! I hope that everyone grow up!! Thanks for reading!!!

It is sad that this happened. Years ago my son had a friend that came to live with us and his Mom never worried about him she called me his other Mom. He is now married with a beautiful family and is in the service and calls us his spirtual Mom and Dad. He will tell you if he had not lived with us his body would have been outlined in yellow on the street or be in jail. He was the only one of the kids that didn’t get in trouble that he knew his age. We drove down one of those streets and a kid we knew his body was outlined on the street. The kids behind champion need help and for someone just to take time with them. We raised him and our son in church. We are blessed because neither one was ever arrested and never in any trouble. I feel sad for their Moms.

Not to beat a dead horse over the drug issue but…
A number of years ago I was driving the Church van through Cantonment when a car with a young couple turned down the street I was going to turn on. A youngster in the van said they were looking to buy crack. Of course my response was Oh come on we don’t know that.
He told me to go slow and watch, that they would pull up next to a Blue pickup in a parking lot. Sure enough they were pulled up alongside a Blue truck. This young man described how the deal was transacted right down to the hole in the floor to dispose of the evidence should ECSO come by. He said the lookouts wouldn’t let that happen.
What lookouts? Which direction are you going home, Right or Left? I’ll go Left. About 1mile down the road is a white house with blue shutters; on the side of the house will be a trash barrel with a fire in it, three men will be standing around it keeping watch. I turned left and about a mile down the road was a white house with blue shutters. Three men were standing around a trash can. It was a Sunday, we had been in Church 15 miles away for 3 hours. I never doubted that 13 year old young man again.

I can’t believe thats all the bail they gave them.
I would have set it at 1,000,000.00. After all their drug dealers and buyer.
Heaven only knows how much money they could come up with if necessary.
I would also get rid of the the three strikes rule.
If they screw up twice thats it, life with no possible.

Bill I love Arnolds idea, even if I do think he let everything go to pot on
HIS WATCH!

I wonder tho, if MEXICO WOULD TAKE I.O.U.’S

lol Snort Snort !

It’s a shame how crack is taking over Cantonment. Mr. Burr needs to take this as a great big wake up call and leave the stem alone.

What would extra deputies have done to prevent this? Burr got into bed with the devil(s) and almost paid with his life; if I read the article correctly.

Sadly, there are more criminals than police officers; at every level. The good guys can’t be everywhere. Their role, unfortunately sometimes, is to react; ‘mop up’ messes. One of the others roles law enforcement plays is that of deterrent. Police officers seldom get to be proactive.

This would probably have happened regardless. Sign of the times.
