May God Bless both families and our community of JAY. My heart cries for any mother in the loss of a child. We are a friendly, God fearing, hard working community, friends to all . We are not racist , I am so sorry that 2% of the people may be bias but 98% are not. I have lived here for 60 + years and I have never known of any racial problems. The stories of old are just that stories.
This should have never happened. We are all one blood and all Gods Children
he made us as we are. Never let one persons opinion make you mark a whole town. We are close Communities and need to respect and pray for each other.

I agree with the coaches of Jay High School’s softball team, they did they right thing by looking out for the children’s safety first. This isn’t a competition to see who wins anything right now; and really there should be no name calling such as (Thugs), this kind of stuff only esculates more problems, this is a safety issue that I feel was rightly done by Jay School Officials…. Be glad that these school officials do look out for the safety of your children, and not just push them into something that could result into a more serious situation; because of maybe one young man’s fault. Everyone needs to realize, that this tragic incident did not happen in Jay; it happened in Berrydale. Why should everyone in Jay have to suffer from one mans doings. Yes this was a tragic thing that has happened, and I do feel for both sides families… GREAT WORK JAY OFFICIALS, FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN…

I absoutely did mean illegal aliens NOT African Americans. My response was to the blog that suggested we bring Haitian refugees to Jay to prove we are not a racist community. Sorry if anyone misunderstood my wording!

It is my belief that these blogs should not be allowed to continue on this subject. We have too many biased opinions that just keep fueling a fire that should be extinguished. Let the facts come out on the court date. As for ‘aliens’
being referred to as black people- that is ignorant. I took the writer to mean illegal aliens- not any specific race. African Americans are welcome in Jay anytime they want to come- I see them in the grocery stores, the doctor’s offices, etc.. Don’t let one bad apple spoil them all.

to the jay resident on here what do you mean ALIENS, if you are such GOD FEARING why would you say such a thing. I will pray for you because if the god you serve allows you to call BLACK PEOPLE Aliens you you really need JESUS CHRIST to help you in your everyday walk with him.

to the softball mom x4 you should be ashamed also I do agree life goes on and PEOPLE get shot everyday and this kind of act happens but to call them THUGS come on person get real.

and to B It can’t get any worse than it already is , IT IS WHAT IT IS A VERY BIG MESS

I AGREE 1000% Escambia County Resident

As a mother I think this was the right decision. These girls should be protected and safe, and I feel like if they go to T.R. Miller they won’t be. There is too many emotions right now from the black community and it would be like throwing the Jay girls into a lions den! I feel bad for Jay’s softball team, they have worked hard and deserve to be in the tournament but I just honestly feel like it wouldn’t be safe.
