This was definitely a personal attack on 26 year old Gary L. Robbins. I hope it was a random act of violence.

Still, another senseless killing in the streets of America.

i agree, Rocky Mount "The City on the Rise". Finding babies in dumpsters and reports of murder all the time, what in the world is going on?

Rocky Mount, a town I've grown up in, is becoming the next crack capitol of NC. What a shame to have a group of city officals who take more interest in a statue than in the real problems of our city. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!
