Thank you Cantonment Neighbor. You made a good point.
Where in the world did you all leap from murder victim to not an American. I am so tired of folks posting replies or comments on news stories on this new site with information that is not in the article. You all take liberty to read information into it articles and put it out there.
This is a story of a hard working, small business man who was robbed and murdered by a mother and son, who have now been indicted by our grand jury. Period.
A mother and son?WHAT.It is sad enough but a mother and son.Perdido fisherman is right.Even if not American.He is a human who is working and wants to live.My heart goes out to his loved ones.RIP
Good riddance, we don’t need folks who want to steal from or harm our hard working people. The man who owned and ran this store is just as much an American as you or me. Where’s the outrage?
