Comments on: Accused Ax Murderer: ‘Loved Every Swing’ http://www.northescambia.com/2010/05/accused-ax-murderer-loved-every-swing Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sat, 25 Apr 2026 14:41:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Friend Of Nate Smith http://www.northescambia.com/2010/05/accused-ax-murderer-loved-every-swing/comment-page-1#comment-43359 Friend Of Nate Smith Fri, 28 May 2010 17:26:07 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=17051#comment-43359 Terry' comment--- You talk about God and then you Cuss and say you would kill him all in the same sentence: That's GREAT!! God will have the final judgement and I am sure God is with all parties involved. Nathan is a GOOD person and he did make a bad choice. None of us know exactly what happened that night or in their life period. You may have known Brian, but, you say you havent seen him in forever. He was abusive and drunk all the time. I believe Nate Snapped when Brian was beating up on his mom again. None of it is right and we cant point our finger and blame one or the other. Alot of bad choices were made. We need to pray for all of them involved. I hope that Nathan does get some sort of self defense. Because neither of these guys deserved to lose their lives.

I knew him well...I know for a fact that he didn't deserve this...I've not seen him in years since I got married & moved. He was one of the greatest guys I ever knew. Plus to just be hearing about this event tonight just crushes me...I'm so broken up by this horrible tragic murder...I can't image how his family is holding up? I was good friends with his little sister also & hope she too can recover from this loss of hers. Kristina If you see this my heart is with you & I love you...your brother was good person. I wish we could have him back! He will be missed. I know your hurting & if I can ease your pain I would. But only time can after something this terrible. Please if you need anything. As for all those ignornant people involved in Brians death...I want you all to know that karma is a killer too & what comes around goes around each and everyone of you will pay for it whether you were there or simply have the knowledge of it. God will see to it in the end I gaurantee it. You see people have choices...& we as people live by our choices made everyday...now Nathan Smith you will pay for your choice with your life...somehow I don't believe your life is worth my friends...just so you know smart guy florida carrys the death penatly & myself I everybody I know will be praying for the verdict for ya...but rest assured ur end will be less painful then brians but on the otherside you will be paying a bigger price for your actions and everyone who knew about it...that's gods way. Nathan I wish that I wish there when you killed my buddy cuz the cops would have arrested me for killing your ass and Brian would still be alive. Me and Brian were good friends.

Nathan is my cousin, and we spent a few years growing up together as children. Though I haven't seen him for many years, now, I am shocked and upset by these events. He is a good kid that made a bad choice, and he will be held accountable for his actions both internally and legally. This is a burden that he will bear for the rest of his life. While no one (at this point) knows exactly the circumstances behind this death and the events leading up to it, I understand that many of us are quick to make accusations of character. While everyone is entitled to an opinion, I would encourage people to consider there comments before posting. There are enough people feeling the weight of this tragedy, and to heap insults or comments only adds gasoline to an already raging fire. While I would never condone such a horrendeous act as to take the life of another, it is irresponsible to assume that only a crazy person or a "looney" could have done this, and it immediately presumes a self-righteous attitude. As we make these claims, ignorant of the totality of facts, we fail to acknowledge the possibility that one day our cousin/our son/our daughter could be involved in the court of public opinion with a thousand judges ready to read their verdicts. My prayers go out to the victim's family and to Nathan and my aunt Connie. Many lives have been forever changed by this tragic incident, and emotions tend to run high in those who hear this story.

He served our country and protected those who could not protect them selves. He tried to protect his mother and she obvioulsy refused the help. If some guy treated my mother this way. there would HELL to pay for him...God pray for Nate's future and for the concsience of his mother. This is a textbook case of maternal self defense. And I hope Nate walks away from this with the FEAR and SAFETY of hs own life and his mothers intact. For those out there in similar situations i can only hope and pray that you get help before it comes to this... JUDGE NOT TILL YOU CONSIDER NATES LIFELONG SITUATION...

We have known Nate forever. He served in the military with us. He is a happy go lucky guy and a great guy to be around. Stop pointing your finger and wishing death upon him or his mother. Yes, what he did was wrong. Granted he took the law in his own hands and it was a very bad choice. We all know that!!! None of you all know what happened that night or in their lives period. Let God be the judge on that. None of us know what they lived through or what this guy has done to Nate in the past either. Why dont you pray for all of them instead throwing out your hurtful and mean words. Help make it a better world.... I have never seen so many people say so many mean things and say what is wrong with the world today? HELLO.... PRAY FOR THEM DONT THROW OUT YOUR MEAN COMMENTS!! Nate is not a Looney as most of you all say. Pray for all people involved for god to touch them and there families. Dont wish harm upon somebody that you have no idea what happened to lead up to this. I do believe he was wrong and didnt need to choose this route. I do wish Nate the best of luck and hope that he finds god and understands what he did was wrong. So Sad!! We have known Nate forever. He served in the military with us.

I also know that his mom and her issues with her boyfriend were on his mind a lot. it seems to me he was just pushed too far in this case. how many times can you watch a loved one get beat up on until you have to do somthing about it. Im not saying he was right in what he did but good people can be pushed too far. Good luck nate. I know nate and this does not seem like somthing he would do.
