Yeah its easy to blame how we turn out based on how we were raised. It’s always someones elses fault. No personal accountability for one’s action. It’s the government or societies fault. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah.
He’s had one than one chance to straighten up. Just failed to utilize his oppurtunities.
None of us are perfect or angels as put in the posts here. We used better judgement though. We didn’t also do what first came to mind when angered. Not this guy obviously.
It is completely ridiculous to get on here and defend someones actions by saying they have had a bad family life. I was abused from a very early age until I was 8 years old. I was a ward of the state until I was 11 and adopted by a family who mentally and emotionally abused me. I’ve buried 2 husbands and 3 children in my young 40 years. That is a family life from hell but I chose to rise above those tragedies and not let them define who I am. I am a productive part of society and have a job helping people not abusing them .It would’ve been easy for me to give up and get into a life of drugs and crime. Before you say it, no I am not perfect and don’t profess to be. I did get in a little trouble when I was younger but again I chose to better my life and not let the tragedy win. It’s time this young man grew up and took responsibility for his own actions and true friend’s don’t make excuses for friends that are wasting their lives and potential but instead would push them to realize that their family life or lack of doesn’t have to define who they are
@ okay – noticed that you didn’t use your name either. what’s up with that?
if slamming these peoples GOOD name makes them feel bad then good.at least they have feelings for something even if it is just for them-selves. this is not the first time that most of the people on here have been in trouble.you would think that they would learn something after the first time. but no, they just go out and comment more crimes.
Im not saying what Robby did was right at all. I went high school with him. He was always cracking jokes. Hes not a bad guy. Yeah, he has been trouble for many years. Instead of judging him though how many of yall have tried to help him? He didnt have that great of a home life. No, that doesnt give him an excuse. But because he got into trouble doesnt mean you have to slam his name. YOU “northescambia judges” are ridiculous . You read these articles and immediately now everyones whole life story and everything wrong with them. Yes, a lot of people who make northescambia do crimes, or are in the wrong. So be it. I think its funny that we have SOOOOOOO many perfect people in our area? I mean heck so many of you have never be involved in ANY TROUBLE. Im not perfect I do realize this I know majority of you out there who comment and guess what NOE Im serious NONE of you are even close to ANGELS! SO stop pulling everyones records or blaming or judging. If your supposedly so brave and know all this information, I would love for you to start putting your name on here, that way all of us can know the perfect people in the community, then we will know exactly who has all the answers and who this community should look up to! Until then ya’ll are getting kinda ridiculous . Bashing people secretly isnt gonna help anyone who is on the streets or in trouble who needs help.

Correct me if I’m wrong but a blow to the head with a bat shouls be an attempted murder charge. That’s pretty strong intent when using a bat.
check out his record on clerk of court. this makes his fifth felony
Can you say trouble?
Apparently the “released on bond” from the first felony was not in the computer yet and the judge don’t read NorthEscambia.com to know what happened. So he thought it was this jerks first felony.. – me being sarcastic.
SMH. Charged earlier this week, then again a few days later, they shouldnt of let him bond out, 2nd felony in a week,
I swear cantonment gets worse and worse every week.
Wow, to be arrested for two separate felonies so close together that William could use the same picture as current was very thoughtful,,, thats what i call ,,,” Going Green” !
So this is his second felony and he’s still able to walk free? How many felonies does it take to stay in jail?
1. I think he has anger issues to workout. They should have left him in jail so he could reflect on his anger management issue. Beat someone over the head with a baseball bat and get released on bond hours later. No wonder we have some much crime in this country. I bet he uses the brewski defense. “but your honor, the beer made me do it.”
A baseball bat? I’m glad the deputies took all those stolen guns away from him last week. It could have been even worse.
To bad the victim was unarmed. Just another reason to get a CWP.
I remember my first beer
This guy needs to be locked up and the key thrown away.
Another great candidate for anger management! This guy obviously is a danger to society. Lock him up and throw away the key..gosh.
He needs to see a grief counselor- seems his uncle’s sudden death has completely unhinged him.
At least he’s out on bail so we can see if he’s learned his lesson this time.
This joker is dangerous and needs to be locked up!
