He is an amazing person and friend! I miss Alex so much. He cared for everyone so passionately. He had a heart of gold. If this was your friend, brother, son…whatever, you would want him with his family! Even his family has accepted him with open arms. We shouldn’t judge people for what we read online or see on tv. He is a human being NOT a monster. Neither is Derek, he too is very kind and has a good head on his shoulders. I love these guys very much, as if they were my own brothers. Living with Alex was wonderful! He kept everyone in check. What would you do in an abusive situation? Maybe not kill the abuser, but you would certainly stick up for yourself.

Hey Justsmart, YES, I would be quite happy for him to come and live with my family. He’s still a kid at 21 (22?). How many rational decisions were you making at that age, and (presumably) not gone through what he has – I know that I wasn’t, and I won’t say how many years ago that was. He’s stuffed up with a traffic offence for God’s sake, the way you are going on, you would think that he has joined the Taliban! Give him a break. Alex, as I have said in other posts, there are a lot of us down here in Ozzieland who are all for you. Make the most of it and keep your chin up. Cheers. £ance.

he is a kid and he and an accident!

had he really been bad, something much worse than a minor incident with a car would have taken place. the fact that he ran off afterwards seems more to highlight his previous encounters with the law.

this does not mean that he is bad, or that he will turn out bad! all it means that he had an accident, and got really scared! and for that he should not be punished!

as someone who lived in s. florida during the whole king trial,i never even heard of alex until last summer.while working the oil spill i met an incredibly polite,respectful,hard working young man who i came to find out had a very checkered past——alex king.after spending quite a bit of time with alex,and understanding the full magnitude of his crimes,i started looking up the facts on the web.i can’t CONDONE killing his father,but i don’t blame him either.being that young and experiencing the kind of treatment both king brothers experienced,i don’t think anyone can pass judgement.as far as the latest charges,yes, alex should be walking a pretty straight line right now,being on probation and all,but people make mistakes.i do know alot of people both young and old (espescially here in escambia county)who’s goal is to live off of the taxpayers as quickly and for as long as possible.not alex,it would be easy for him to become a useless POS,blame it all on his past,and be a burden to society.alex is actually trying to make something of his life.he even tried to join the military,i think his charges messed that up,but he is doing more than alot of other people.leave the kid alone, let him answer for his last mistake,and let him become something in life.

To all you bleeding heart liberals, PLEASE get him out and let him live in your home with your family. Bet you wouldn’t want him around you.

Is leaving the scene of an accident a misdemaenor? Whatever. Even if his dad was a not a good person, can you justify killing him? It seems that some of you are confused as to who is the victrim. Give this boys father a second chance. He is the one who was beatin to death. Alex had his second chance. If he would have made the best of it, we would not be talking about him now.

REGARDING:
“From everything I read their father was a “no gooder” and never attempted to rear them. they lived in fear of him and probably chose to kill him before he killed them. Please society–this young man has paid his price and should not be thrown in jail for a misdemeanor or being scared he would be thrown in jail from a traffic accident where no one was seriously hurt.”

You could be wrong, their father may not’ve been a terrible man. He isn’t alive to defend himself, so we don’t know.

You say he’s paid his price. Actually, it can never be paid because you can’t set a price on human life. He’s served his sentence for that crime but was still on probation for another crime he committed while in prison.

Surely probation exists for a reason. The main thought behind it is, “You get freedom despite your latest crime if you comply with certain simple rules. You give up your freedom if you violate your probation.”

If one of those rules was to not be out driving at that time of night, the fact that he broke that one doesn’t tell us it was the only one he broke, just that it was the one we discovered. (Do you really think it was his first and only violation? What’re the odds?)

The fact that nobody died THIS time doesn’t make it okay. The same violation easily COULD have resulted in multiple deaths. Should we let him try again until he succeeds in killing more?

Maybe we should, but we should think about it a while first, don’t you think?

David for not killing others just
to avoid being hard on probationer

Some of you may not have followed these two young kids trial. From everything I read their father was a “no gooder” and never attempted to rear them. they lived in fear of him and probably chose to kill him before he killed them. Please society–this young man has paid his price and should not be thrown in jail for a misdemeanor or being scared he would be thrown in jail from a traffic accident where no one was seriously hurt. I’m sure he knew law enforcement would be after him as they did and all he could think of was prison again. Let’s give him a chance. There are mean parents as well as those who hurt them. I’m not advocating murdering them because that is so wrong to take the life of ANYONE. Let’s just pray for him and hope he makes his life better for his mistakes. Where is the mother of these young men? Lady

Robert this is for you the difference is: Some of us make it a mission to try and do the right thing where others make it their mission by choice as well to do the wrong thing. Then there are others who just follow and get into trouble. Remember the old saying “Lead follow or get out of the way” It’s a good thing we have some people in life who are postive trying to lead their lives in a manner where they know right from wrong. Our society is in enough trouble from those who don’t try and think their is always an excuse or should be forgiven or should get something for nothing. Just saying.

@ ROBERT
speak for yourself.
I don’t know where some of you got the idea that EVERYONE
makes “mistakes” as you ALL seem to like to call them of this
magnitude.

I guess some of you are REAAALLLY jaded.

I don’t have accidents and run from them
I don’t kill my parents.
I don’t rob or lute anyone.
And the list goes on and on.

I’m betting there are way more ppl out there just like me, then there are
people who call having no rules in their lives “mistakes”.

You all hate it when someone says something about these thugs
because your one of them. That makes YOU a thug.
SO you just start trying to say WE are ALL THUGS and just
haven’t been caught yet.
Thats where your wrong. I’m betting JIM W is another just like me,
there were mistakes, but not the illegal things like murders, rapes, robberies,
and again the list goes on and on.

SOME US HAVE TO SET THE STANDARD OF GOOD BEHAVIOR AND
BE ROLL MODELS BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE NOW DAYS
WOULD LET THEM DO ANYTHING, AGAIN, AGAIN, AND AGAIN
AND THINK THEIR ALL JUST “MISTAKES”.

Personally I don’t want all these murders and robbers, rapists, and
thugs running the streets, and I ” knows one when I sees one”, as the
saying goes. The good kids in school AND around town need to have
a chance and not be influenced by these kinds of kids.
