This is the first time, i read about the incident and of all the comments posted as well, i have read every "single" one of them. I have no doubt bro Tony is a good man and so is his family and would probably give the shirt off of his back, again of that i have no doubt. I wanted to comment something regarding my mother and not of the incident that happened back in October. As most of my friends and family know i am not and was not a well known person to speak of, because of all the mishaps that have befallen me, but i read and read all these posts and think of Mom alot and notice that out of just one or two, where exactly does mothers name appear of all her life she was a loving and caring person as well and the most giving person you would ever come to know, no matter who you were, even knowing the devil as well as the good lord above she would've invited you in under her wing no matter what! There are somethings in this world that i do not understand and yes i ask for the divine lord to help me understand, people there are two sides to every story and a cause and an effect for everything, if it's in God's hands or not, that is not for none of us to say in my opinion. I do remember alot of verses from the good book. But not one word do i remember where it says you should judge and be judged for all of your wrong doings or mishaps, transgressions etc... whatever you wanna call it folks. My mom was a very beloved woman of all the wonderful things she done for us and mostly for others as well, sometimes we are all careless of the things we do and maybe it is for most to say that god has the wheel "not you", so when he calls on you to appear before him; guess what will happen? you answer your own questions and voice your own opinions about who did what to who but in the end and forever more god knows what's in your heart and what ain't! So worrying and deciding the fate of another is not for none of us to decide but the law states different, but i know one that still stands "obey the laws of the land". Exactly how many does that? Romans 3:10 - you all know what that verse reads and we'll leave it at that.....Momma i love and miss you with all my heart and am waiting to see you again!

This is why the FHP has changed the designation from "motor vehicle accident" to "motor vehicle collision." The collision occurred through the negligence of one or both drivers. Divine providence had no hand in this collision. It was not an accident it was a collision.

I sympathize with the family and the loss of a person I'm certain played a major role in the lives of many. However, the man did not go out with the intention of taking someone's life. His being charged with the crime is not some great justice being served that deserves to be seen by all. Why is this story even here?

If you don't know the whole story then keep your nose out of this! Brother Tony is a great man and I understand this doesn't exempt him from the law but still. It was very clearly unintentional! The news doesn't tell you everything that happened! People shouldn't be so harsh. If this happened to you am people were saying bad things about you like this imagine how you would fill! Not good!! God will be the final judge. Not anyone on this earth! Stay strong Richburg and Daw family! People need to grow up. If you don’t know the whole story then keep your nose out of this!

Neither you or I plan to go out and rear end someone; neither you or I want to think this could be our last few hours on earth, but they could be. It is easy to judge another person. It is easy to throw unkind and thoughtless comments out, but please understand it most likely will not be long before the tables turn and the comments will be used to destroy the life of those who throw words around so freely! Judge not.....so that you will not be judged. We all find ourselves in the wrong from time to time! Let our words be words that heal. Let our prayers be to God for peace and mercy. Let us be a people who are compassionate and kind. Dear friends,

Are we so perfect, so "talented" that an accident couldn't possibly stain our lives? I for one won't say that-- Karma has a way of showing just how powerless we are-- as the old saying goes, "What goes around, comes around." If you can't forgive a tragic ACCIDENT such as I see this one (no drugs, no speeding, no alcohol stated in story) then when your accident in life happens, no matter what's involved, don't be the one to whine, cry and expect others to forgive you your trespasses. There is such a thing as compassion, although its dying very rapidly in our society... We should start exercise it for our own personal good. As I say that, my heart breaks for everyone, each family for such a tragic loss.
