spineless cowards without the courage of their convictions. piene2

=========================================

You would know about that if anyone would. Your opinion is similar to the National Debt, always changing and getting worst by the minute. Nobody even knows what you believe in, cause it constantly changes. It's amusing actually. The epitome of failure in this country. Have a great evening!

Anyone that will kill someone in cold blood deserves no pity from me or anyone else.

Terrane seems to be the shooter and as far as I am concerned its too late to cry on your mother's shoulder, you should have thought of the consequences before you pulled the trigger.

Which brings me to my last question. Why does WRAL call this 18 year old a teen, I was 18 and carried an M1 rifle in Korea and I knew that I was a man.

"What a coward this guy must be. How could you kill anyone, let alone an older Vietnam Veteran. Brandex"

I will issue a directive to all prospective murderers that before doing the murder they obtain complete biographical data on their victim to determine if they are too good to murder or not. piene2

======================================

Ahhhh, key word above was ANYONE!! Helloooooo.

"He's been crying ever since. He was, like, 'Mom, it wasn't me,'"

"I know my son would not hurt him because we used to talk about him feeding the cats and how sweet it was."

=============================================

Boy turned tough guy doesn't sound so tough anymore and Mom has blinders on. He is however due his process in court.

"What a coward this guy must be. How could you kill anyone, let alone an older Vietnam Veteran. Brandex"

I will issue a directive to all prospective murderers that before doing the murder they obtain complete biographical data on their victim to determine if they are too good to murder or not.

If this suspect would've been white and he shot and killed a black vietnam vet, you can bet Jesse, Al, and that other so called Reverend of the NAACP would be holding rallies on Fayetteville Street demanding justice or threatening to burn the city like Los Angeles. Any white person claiming this was a hate crime will be labeled as a racist by the black community so be careful what you say on here.

So...either Mommy knows who really did the crime, and she should immediately give that person up to the police. Or, it's just another stereotype that I see too much of here in Fayetteville, after sweet precious little junior murders someone innocent, Mommy (or Grandma) is on TV or talking to the paper crying about how her sweet precious good little boy could never have done such an awful thing. Maybe if these mothers would parent their kids better, they wouldn't find themselves in the position of defending them after the fact.

"Maybe he didn't act alone"

They never do. Always in packs.

I am wondering where the NAACP is for this "man"....and how does his mother know it was an older guy that killed him? Why was her son with this older man? Was robbery the motive? Did your little angel of a son tell you WHY they were harassing this white man who served his country which is something this coward wouldn't have the guts to do? I believe this was a racist crime...where is the group wanting justice(besides family of course) for this "man"? Funny how Rev. whats his face only stands up for one race...isn't that racist in it of it self? Just sayin...

"Dukes' mother, Daisy Davis, said an older man killed Joppich."

Then I"m sure she's given the police this person's name and directions to his house.
