The innocent only need justice.
The guilty need mercy

Mr Kroll is gone and no amount of blood will bring him back.

I am relieved for the families of McGhee and Lambet that they will not face the death penalty, hopefully Orso’s family will be spared. I must admit though had Mr Kroll been my father or loved one, my perspective and opinion would probably be much different.

Mercy is for the benefit of the innocent and in this case it is the families of the guilty.

I pray that Mr Kroll’s family can find peace and closure as difficult as it surely must be.

A person can spend 18 years grooming a child to be a good person but at some point they become their own person. And if they make a bad decision should you stop loving them and does it mean they were raised wrong. Everyone is always so quick to blame a parent or how a child was raised as to why they done something wrong. Thats is not the case. You should never say ‘not my child’ because you dont know what your child will do or how you would react to it unless you have been in the situation. There is nothing good about this situation. My deepest sympathy goes out to the kroll family. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but please think before you attack the parents of these young men. How they raised there children has nothing to do with the descision that the young men made. They simply have an unconditional love for their child like a parent should.

This post is for Tonya and Ashley please tell the community what relationship you are to these killers. It appears that you two women have some type of attachment to them. At one time they may have been good individuals but when they went in that store that ended. They have no one but themselves to blame.

Wondering,
Since you asked, successful parenting is whatever produces decent humans.
In contrast, unsuccessful parenting is whatever fails to produce decent humans. Methods vary.
Results are uncertain.
Success is subjective.
Failure usually makes the news and people suffer.
Excuses don’t change facts.

David for honesty and happiness

@ God will– as to killing someone who killed another—would an eye for an eye fit. I don’t recall God saying that some times death is not the right penalty in the Bible. The good part of the electric chair was the testing caused the lights to dim in the prison and the next on the list could reflect on what was coming. The use of an injection lets the person stop breathing and die. The families will have a hard time, but this was caused by their own family member, not those of us who work and save. It is only upon the killers head that he spend life in prison and cause his kids and the rest of his family hard ships.

No Tonya you missed something. McGhee was judged by a jury of his peers, found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The only person who is to blame is himself.

Let me just start off by saying that this is an extremely sad situation for all parties involved and their families. I have heard several times that Mr Kroll should not have been selling Spice, and that he is just as guilty for selling this drug. He has been labeled a “drug dealer” and had he not been selling the Spice he would still be here. That is just plain immaturity. At the time the Spice was being sold it was 100% legal!! Mr Kroll was an older gentleman so he may not have even known what the spice was being used for. OR, if he did know it was used for smoking, he may have thought that since it was allowed for sale in stores that it was comparable to tobacco and maybe it was safer than smoking marijuana which is illegal. To say this is his fault because he sold the Spice is immature and just sad. If someone walks into a gas station with the intent to rob it of money and alcohol, and in the process kills the store owner, is it the store owners fault because they sold alcohol at their store? NO! The only person responsible is the one who decided to rob the store. I personally knew TJ and before I knew he had a drug problem I thought he was a respectful young man. I understand when someone has a drug problem it turns them into someone unlike their normal self. But that also isn’t an excuse for committing a crime. It was TJ’s decision to live the life of drugs. And now he has to pay the consequences of his actions. I do still think he is a respectful person who just got caught up with drugs and made a very careless and reckless decision on that day. I believe with my whole heart that his own life was spared that day by the Grace of God. I don’t think it was a coincidence that the bullet that was fired at TJ was caught by a cross hanging on his chest. I believe God has a plan for his life, and maybe this whole thing had to happen to infact save him and save his soul. Their is purpose in everyone’s life and TJ was given a second chance at life. I believe he has an incredible story to one day tell, and what happened in his situation can be used to save the lives of people caught up in drugs. Especially the younger ones who are being influenced by the culture of The world today. I will continue to pray for TJ, and for all the families and friends involved. I ask that you all do the same.

And God says do not JUDGE for thou be JUDGED so just remember all of us will be judged one day and I hope none of you have done no wrong because remember who hung on the Cross next to Jesus… prayers to the families and our father above will Judge us and him only no matter what people say about you or your family
