Here we go again with these kids wanting to be men. All this does it get them a free ride to prison for a very long time. I pray for the child that was shot and his family. I could not imagine what the trigger man family is going through also. It all makes no sense at all.

I am all for UNC taking over all of that area for new growth. Sad to see today's youth resort to guns. Whatever happened to a good old fist fight. Guess the 80's are over.
