I thank GOD that ronald has survive. He is a wonderfull father and a wonderfull husband. GOD will handle joe jones on his own way.
RR,
That’s the same one I’m talking about.
Nope can’t say that I have.
At least not a decision to take a shot gun out to an argument.
Speak for yourself there buddy.
Sorry but in my book that doesn’t make him a decent guy.
Joe Jones has made several bad decisions…not just one
Joe Jones is a decent guy that made a bad decision. Haven’t we all made bad decisions before?
Here we go again! Atmore is getting as bad as Pensacola or Mobile. All you ever hear in Atmore anymore is something bad. People robbing, stealing, dealing drugs, shooting people, running from the law, and it’s not getting any better. You would think that after being a convicted felon, he would know better. I must say I have to agree with JimD. It’s really getting old, having to support these kind of people.
Joe used to do concrete work. I thought he was a decent guy, oh well.
Thanks DC. The Joey Jones I’m talking about was white and tall. Would have graduated around 81-82 I think.
What a way to celebrate MLKs birthday…he would be proud of these guys huh
Wonder whose fault this is ??
I went to school with this guy. I don’t remember him getting in trouble. There was another guy named Joey Jones but he was white and tall.
Yes just another two legged animal who doesn’t know how to be in society.
Now the felon has probably kllled someone, but I hope not. I hope the victim
recovers but a shot gun will sure make a mess of you.
“Jones was charged with assault first degree and for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm”, this says it all…why waste any more time on this individual…save the state money and strap him to the table or flip the switch.
Is this the same person that used to go by Joey Jones when he was in school?
Is the man who shot from Atmore?
