    My heart does go out to the victims of this crime but I must also say my heart goes out to the family of this young man because he has a lot of other brothers and sisters that are the sweetest young adults and honest and hard working and trustworthy folks as are his parents, his parents are 2 of the most honest and loving people and christians I have ever met and very good people, this man does need a LOT of praying so he can be brought out of this hole is going into, I know he broke the law and there is not excuse for anyone especially a man this age that was brought up in a good home with good people but sometimes it just takes God getting a hold of you to straighten you out and you have to be willing to let God do that, I have faith that this young man will straighten up after he is punished and I believe God will touch his heart and he prob will apologize to the owners one day, He obvisoulsy has a problem and needs help as well as the victims need justice to be served and it will so YES i will cont to pray for all involved I just want the public to know this man comes from a home of wonderfull honest, christian, hard working parents and siblings so please pray for them as well as the victims because this is really sad.

    Typical Atmore these days…if we don’t get new leadership in city hall that will make fighting crime a priority we are going to see more and more of this.

    David Huie Green, normally you tend to get on my nerves, however, I am loving your comments on this story. I often think about individual prayer when I hear of phone trees. I agree, the individual, heartfelt prayer is much more genuine than a bunch of aimless praying by people who really don’t care. And trust me on this one, they really don’t care.

    REGARDING:
    “- – - ,try praying for that person. Prayer does work”

    No problem with that but just wondering why the prayers of particular people other than yourself are needed? Do you think the Lord only listens if enough people pray?

    It’s unsafe to keep a machete in your pants, you might….wait, never mind, go right ahead.

    a small business, robbed, again……I HOPE AND PRAY they find this idiot and not only return the goods (if they have them), but also make him go to the owner and apologize to his face. Things like this are some of the reasons small businesses close. There you are trying to make a living and some dingbat comes along needeing money and robs you…they won’t go get a job or do yardwork to make the money, they feel like it is owed to them so they go take it. Atmore and surrounding areas, be on your toes and turn him (or her) in if you know anything. i promise you, this person will eventually tell on themselves.
