Elliott - so kind of you to mention my code name in your post.

Are you one of the me me me me me mes?

No need to go spastic on the religious bit, adding MY name to your list.

AS so many times when people take so
much for granted, friend, you are wrong.

First about me and religion. You don't want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, then don't. Thats called freedom.

GGAMD! me thinks thou doth protest too much.

Why isn't it possible for you to state an opinion w/out drawing particular names into the fray.

I am only defending my position, since you chose to draw me out.

I assume you think this country is in 'wonderful shape'. But then THAT would be an assumption on my part, I wouldn't do that. lololololo

lighten up - lifes too short.

THATS IT!... Legalize pot!.. Are you crazy? The only people who are gonna benefit from that is the potheads.. The heroin, crack,meth heads are still going to continue to do the heroin,crack and meth...That makes no sense, people are talking of their butts today!.. SHEESH!

Please, enough of the pity party and how this poor fellow didn't make it in life due to the lack of an imaginary friend, or because he didn't pray in school every day. He himself got up that day and make the decision he was going to commit a serious crime. I find it extraordinary that few posts even mention the victim. If it was your daughter, mother, sister starring down the barrel of his gun I imagine you'd think different..

These posts get so far off of the subject and article. It should be very easy to find out the time and date of any board meeting. Anyway, congratulations to Central and their staff for keeping this district at an overall higher standard than any other school district around. It is performance like this, that prompts the community to get out and overwhelmingly vote for items such as the last bond issue. Thanks and keep up the good work.

mobigdog,

There doesn't have to have been anyone else involved. If he watched when the store closed for a few days, he would know their routine. I used to work at one of the big retail stores and they always callled the police for an escort. If on those nights when they weren't available to come, they would wait until all the other employees were ready to leave and everyone would walk out together and then follow the person to the bank and stay until the deposit was made.

As the article says they need to start getting a police escort and also changing how they carry out the deposits, such as put them in differnt bags inside of a bag, go out different doors, etc.

For those of us who do know Kory and have watched him grow up with our kids, he is still a kid. I don't care if he is 50...to me he will still be the same little Kory. My heart is with his parents in this time of need. God Bless you Katrina & Sonny....Lisa Lawson

to mobigdog--I believe most businesses make a night deposit upon closing; he did not need help to observe maybe previous to the escapde to see what happened. Sounds as if he needs help.
Pray for him and his family.

Hate to say, but this just does not add up that he worked this alone. How did he just happen to be in that parking lot, armed and ready to rob that young lady? Did he know they did a bank drop at night and if so, who told him? Not to take sides, but there surely has to be someone else in on this!!!

A wise person once told me, "Karma may be slow in coming, but it always catches up..." Tis true.

Posted in response to Police identify man suspected of robbing store

I doubt legalizing one drug to keep people away from the "hard" drugs is gonna do much good. Sounds like a pot head wants an easier way to get their fix, lol.

Posted in response to Charges filed in heroin overdose deaths

Lets not turn this into a blame game. One person is responsible for the actions taken that night, the perp. His parents can instill the values, it is up to Kory to follow them. He failed.

I keep reading these blogs...and everyone says he is a good kid...sorry...but he is not a kid...he is an adult....I have a 19 year old...he is an adult...he has a job...his own place...his own car...goes to college full time....has never been in trouble....never been arrested...never did an armed robbery...never pretended to be abducted...maybe my son stays to busy being an adult and not being a kid any longer....I feel sorry for the KIDS that work at Country Mart that will not forget this happening to them....if it was my son or daughter I would be outraged at Kory...maybe if he would have gotten in trouble for the previous incident he would not be doing this now....just my opinion.

He just needs to find Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior; God Almighty to help in this tragic time of need. He needs to let Jesus lead him to a path of good instead of bad. If he had found Jesus we wouldn't hear such things of him. If Jesus was on his shoulder Jesus would have told him, "no no Kory, that's bad"; Jesus would have taken care of him. Lord Almighty!

Oh, and he should have read the Pledge of Allegiance at breakfast that morning too; all would be well had he just done that!

Am I correct Ribeye?

He could go to Confession and BAM, he will be forgiven. That's always an option.

Posted in response to Country Mart robbery suspect identified

I know that what he did was wrong! I just have never seen so many poeple that are so hurtful! What if this was your child? Can't poeple ever do anything eles but make poeple feel bad? That is so sad!!!!Need to watch what you are saying it might come back to bite you!

innocent bystander - it is also a straw-man argument to ask if I would give up those items that were obtained by unions in the past. This line of argument would presume that those items would not have came about by some other method. There are any number of these types of situational arguments.

For the athiest - 'would you give up the benefits that we have enjoyed over the mellenia due to the 10 Commandments because you don't believe in God?'

For the Democrat -'would you like to do away with the iseas of Abraham Lincoln because he was a Republican?'

For the Union Memeber - ' are you willing to pay the Union Hall for the right to work and are you willing to give up some basic freedoms and vote for whom the Union Hall tells you to vote for? As a condition of employment? (remember, we got that 40 hour workweek for your great grandpa...)

Lets just do that.. Let him set in jail for a day or two, otherwise give him a smack on the hand for robbing a place with a gun!... What the heck is wrong with you people..
Anf if the answer is god, why did got not tell him to do it in the first place? Why did god NOT tell him to fake and abduction? The answer is not god.. The answer is prison!...

This poor family and the shame they must feel. My heart goes out to the parents of this young man. Lets not forget the 15 yr old who murdered her neighbor " to see what it felt like". This young man needs help before someone really does get hurt!

Posted in response to Country Mart robbery suspect identified

I agree with Theprofessor.

Posted in response to Country Mart robbery suspect identified

innocent bystander - you are correct in only one thing you posted, I am employed by a Merit Shop Contractor in a management position. I have also worked for a union contractor in a management position. One of the biggest in the country.

You are wrong about those that get 'papered' by the unions to work on PLA projects. Unless that person has worked and paid dues to the union for some minimum amount of hours per year for usually 5 years (to become vested), they recieve none of the benefits.

Our Merit Shop Craft spend just as much time in training, both skills-wise and safety-wise, as any union. Our productivity is considerably higher and on Prevailing Wage jobs, our craftsmen bring home more in pay than the union craft. Our regular wage is comparable to that of the unions.

I have personally seen a 'union' employee who 48 hours before, worked at a supermarket. That same person was seriously injured because he was not trained and was only a 'body' to fill a crew and collect the dues.

I stand by my words...unions are corrupt. No jealousy here...

professor - you have got to be kidding. What message would it send to any criminal if they knew that a bleeding heart society would just let them out after a couple days in jail when they commit and armed robbery. Heck, they'd be lined up at every bank and liquor store in the country! What we need to do is stop making prison a vacation camp and give these jerks some incentive NOT to go to jail! "Give him a fighting chance to do good in life"? What has the last 19 years of his life been? How many more chances does he get before you say "o.k. I guess he's going to have to stay in jail this time"? Maybe you would feel different if his gun was in your face next time. We should release everyone in jail and prison today and give them all a fighting chance to do good in life. Yeah, that'll fix it.

Obviously the Big Foot scandal was a forgery, so maybe, just maybe, this wasn't actually him. It was a fake!

Hey Pro- I agree the kid will be lost in the realm of 'pen population'.

But enough of the legalize stuff for Gods Sake:) get a grip.

How easy do you want to make it for ignorant underage kids that know no better.

I know they are getting it now..but why hand it to them on a silver platter?

I don't get that.....
