Three Shot, Injured in Robbery of Convenience Store
For the ones that have a lot to say, the comments you make are funny. You are so clueless of what is really going on and to narrow minded to care. Like they say, "you cannot teach an old dog a new trick." I do not care what any one think that is still talking down on someone else. Until any of the people on this site if force to experience just one week in the Black nieghborhoods, there should not be any comments made to put down ones parenting or economic status. The negative comments that are being made needs to stop and i will continue to respond. Justice is for all not just us like many of you feel. I am a God fearing person so I will keep everone in my prayers. Lord have mercy in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

All the racist was already here before. Wish it was a buckshot. To the mom ofthree, this issue do not give anyone permission to commit any types of crimes. All i was really trying to say is that instead of always saying bad parenting, single parent home, welfare, and ect is the blame because it not. Some of this people come from good christian homes, yet they chose to make the wrong descision. Look at it this way the boys was in the wrong, but to wish death is harsh. I hate the fact that the Kelly's was put in this situation. I hate that these boys acted out in an inappriate manner. They should be punished for their actions, but to wish death is cruel. AND IF YOU ARE TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THE ISSUE OF BLACK AND ANY OTHER RACE OF DISCRIMINATING FACTORS look in side yourself and see how you act towards another race. I have friends of all ethnicities. The bottom line is right is right and wrong is wrong no matter what color or where you came from. This boys are wrong but the people making all these negative comments are no better.

My heart goes out to all the victims of this tragic accident. To the Kelly's I pray for your good health and speedy recovery. To Williams and your family I hope you will recover as well and I hold you and your family in my prayers as well. Everyone is always qick to point a finger, but at the same no one is ready to try to find a solution for the problem. African American was brought to this country and was force to do others dirty work. When they wanted better they where killed just from trying to make it to a better life. Then everyone was suppose to be treated equal, yet today's society make it hard for many African American to finish school. Growing up in Southern Pines I was a straight A student. Teachers in high school was so cruel, rude, and selfish I drop out. Even though i drop out of high school I continued with my education. I'm currently working on my masters degree. I also forgot to mention I grew up in a single parent home, but I did not give up. No matter how much many of the negative commentors try to put African Americans down there are many of us that strive for excellence. We are force to grow up in a society that is constantly putting us down, yet the problem starts at home. Sorry to inform, but the problems do not start in our homes. It starts when we are force to live with people that frown upon us when we walk down the street, it starts when they pass us in the parking lots they began to clinch their purses or hit the lock button on their cars a couple more times to make sure their cars are secure. Many African Americans can still hold their heads up high, but to some this is an insult. SO WHY SHOULD THEY BE FORCE TO RESPECT THOSE THAT DO NOT RESPECT THEM?
