    Let me start off by approachinng the ones that are running Kenny in the ground. 1.This clearly states to BE NICE.
    2.Who are you to judge him and YOUR NOWHERE NEAR PERFECT!
    3.Whenever you have to run people in the ground it really makes you look low class and immature.
    Also I’m going to say this if you really know Kenny you know the type of good hearted individual he is. Others that are running their mouths you’ve obviously never had the privlege to know hiim and if you ever do your lucky! You also know he would’nt ever come on here and run his mouth whatever others do he lets their families deal with it and never says anything rude about anyone he keeps to himself. Kenny has made mistakes and he’s paying for them. As for the tax dollars news flash over half of Century is on Welfare!

    It’s amazing to me how easily people point their fingers. I have known Kenny and his family for many years. They are awesome people. Kenny is a good guy with a great heart. As far attacking his upbringing, Kenny was raised in a Christian home with loving parents and we can only hope that we never walk in his parent’s shoes. And, GUESS WHAT? If we do, we will love and do everything we can to help our children. Because that is what we should be doing; loving on people like Kenny, showing him and his family that we all are behind him. It’s certainly not beneficial for him or his family for anyone to put them down for not being perfect. We should let them know that we are here if we are needed.

    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    Romans 3:23

    You know it’s a shame how people can get on here and run someone down when they don’t even know him and if they look at their own life it’s not so perfect. Yeah he has a problem but we’re hoping that by the grace of God he turns his life around. And for harry you should think before you post something because if it was your child or family member you wouldn’t be saying just let the fool kill himself, you would be wanting he or she to get help. And we ain’t just paying out tax money for drugers, we pay it for all the people on welfare who don’t have a job and just sit at home all day. Kenny is a great person he just got side track, but he’ll be back on track one day.

    I am not saying that it’s ok to hurt himself or his family. That’s the people that you should be most concerned about not hurting. What I am saying is I do not think that any one should say that he should kill himself!

    Sorry,but his actions in the past have hurt a lot of people.No man is an island.So it is okay if he only hurts himself or his family? come on….the ripple effect reaches out a lot farther than family.It is a proven fact that children raised to be held accountable for their desicions as children, grow up to be better able to make wise desicions.David Green is also correct….children from good families can end up on drugs and in crime and children from bad families can end up model citizens.It is called free will to an extent,but I think free will and its consequences taught to a child would more times than nought produce a better person.

    It is really sad to me that people get on here and talk about others, their families read this. I believe that it says you can make comments as long as you are nice and slandering another. Kenny used to be a really good kid and just got mixed up with the wrong crowd and lost his way. Maybe instead of talking about him and saying let him kill his self we should try to help. He comes from a good family and just because people lose sight of what is right does not make them a bad person. He has not hurt any one but himself and his family so we should stay out of it.

    which assumes he wasn’t held responsible

    David thinking sometimes people with perfect parents are imperfect
    and people with sorry parents sometimes turn out okay
    something called Free Will

    if children grow up not been held responsible for their actions,they can end up like this young man.It is called tough love,but I dont know who it is tougher on…the kids receiving tough love or the parents having to dish it out.

    I personally know Kenny or should I say I use to know him. We grew up together, went to the same school since kindergarden and graduated together. He was a good kid with good parents. I hate that he got caught up in all this. I truly hope he gets the help he needs.

  11. harry on March 13th, 2010 8:38 pm

    all this manpower and taxpayer money because he wants to put a politically incorrect substance in his body….let the fool kill himself……..stop taxing the crap out of me so that the drug warriors have jobs!

    All these punks, America is done went to Hell. This is our future, garbage like this. Some people are alive only because it is against the law to get rid of them.

    Just like the rest of them tell make the bond low so the state and county can make some money then he will be out on probation cause the prisons are overpopulated.

    I feel for the family he has two wonderful parents. So sad and I know it tears their hearts. I hope and pray he can turn his life around.
