What that killer did was wrong, it was a horrible way to die. But God will deal with him.

My brother was in the same situation, a raccoon came at him and bite him when he tried to kick it away, he jumped on top of his car and luckily someone driving by saw what was happening and came and ran over the raccoon, which messed his body up making it hard to test it for rabies, he had to get a series of shots just to make sure he didn’t get rabies, they told him he was better off getting then second guessing, if it had been a rattle snake everybody would say he was a hero.

“This is not newsworthy! ”

I call bull. When the mayor uses city resources to have the town attorney write a multi-page statement on something that he was involved in on a personal level, it’s newsworthy.

It’s made national news on Tv, radio, newspapers and others. Even a few international news sites.

Yawn…you must be an atmore local used to things being swept under the rug.

I am really surprised that William posted this to his website. This is not newsworthy! Our society has sunk to remarkably low levels if we become more upset at the killing of a raccoon than the killing of innocent unborn babies. In fact, not only do people NOT get upset at the killing of unborn babies, they get upset that people don’t have the “right” to kill unborn babies.

The Mayor of Atmore (a really good man) killed a raccoon to protect himself and himself and his wife. Meanwhile, people want to kill unborn babies because they are an “inconvenience”.

May God have mercy on our soul and may God have mercy on our country.

fine it isn’t illegal to kill a raccoon there. he should still step down or at least go contribute and help promote to a wildlife refugee site if he truly feels sorry for what’s happened…

I wasn’t there so I don”t know the full story, however there is a trash can nearby, the raccoon could have been looking for some food, if the animal didn’t approach him or his wife then I have a issue with him killing it. Some women and some men are scared of such as raccoons, possums ect. maybe his wife was hollering or something. Lol. Just because it is there does not mean its going to get after you.
