    REGARDING
    “A cop shoots a suspect who’s resisting and non-compliant and the media loses its mind.”

    We SHOULD expect better out of those we empower to enforce the laws. We have lower expectations of outlaws.

    Our standard should be “What is right?” rather than “What do those we punish favor?” If it’s wrong for them, it’s wrong for us.

    David for treating others as you would like to be treated

    Problem starts at home. If no parenting is going on then the streets end up teaching the kids. Notice on Sundays how many kids you see running and playing in the streets and NOT in CHURCH. Back in my day you seen PARENTS taking their children to CHURCH and disciplining without fear from law. We kids fought and rolled in the dirt and made friends pretty much after the fact BUT never ever did the thought enter our minds to kill someone. We were brought up the correct way and need to go back to those days. Never will happen, BIBLE teaches it only going to get worse. I trust and believe that is the case going on now

    While these individuals are innocent until proven guilty, it should be known that Knight, involved in this homicide, is the younger brother of Timothy Knight who was arrested for the homicide of Ladarius Clardy.

    This Knight kid and Timothy Knight (brothers) are both in jail. Timothy was involved with the killing of Ladarius Clardy. Parents??? Probably hasn’t seen a parent in years. As my Dad would say “give birth, snatch them up by the hair of the hair, and then turned loose”. A bunch of sorry no-goods are then living on the streets.

    I asked a friend before he died, he has a Grandson in prison for murder. What is it about killing someone that these kids have no regard for life? He said his Grandson stated jealousy, hatred, angry or bored. And sometimes, there is no reason. They just kill because they can.

    Don’t place all the blame on parents. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. Kids hook up with the wrong people and then led down the wrong route. Kids will lie to their parents all the while they are committing crimes.

    Life in prison for these two brothers. Two less to worry about to commit more crimes.

    It’s a sad story, poverty, neglect and off to prison.

    There are a lot of murders and violence with firearms among teenagers. I think the parents are responsible for the action’s of children. Parents should be held responsible and pay the price with a conviction the same as the teenagers. Something needs to be done to stop this! Where are all of the community leaders, they just seem to talk with no action. Too many young lives are being lost, God help us!!

    Why is it when teens kill some one they should lock up or blame parents do you even have kids? If you do you know kids don’t always do as you say kids try and impress all the wrong people some times even if taught right. I’ve know many parents who should have an award for being so good but their kids are still idiots and do dumb stuff. Bet you where perfect angels for your parents never did anything wrong people are responsible for their own actions. Society as whole is an issue sure maybe they don’t have good parents all I’m saying is until you know don’t blame the parents cause they could have done all they could for these delinquents. Jailing someone else for another’s crime just cause they share blood is stupid.

    The parents of this trash don’t parent, never did, they breed and deliver and then your on your own. No father in the picture just baby daddy to 3 or 4. Pathetic animals. Statistics are plain and easily understood. Put these low life animals in jail forever or they will continue this way of life. Pretty easy to see.

    WHAT is UP with these people Murdering each other like this??
    Would like to see the True Numbers (No Mojo manipulation) of the killings in our area, state, US wide of this sort of thing and what groups are killing who.
    A cop shoots a suspect who’s resisting and non-complliant and the media loses its mind.
    Kids kill each other and the story (NorthEscambia excepted) may make a passing mention and move on to other things like a cat in a tree in Oregon.
    Just CRAZY these murders….kids or not when an act like this is done — if found Guilty — they should go to prison for life (on us Taxpayers but off the streets) or have the death penalty imposed.
    Truly, the Devil himself is in the hearts and minds of these young killers.

    Is there some silent award for murdering someone among our kids here today? Are those parents not paying attention to what their kids are saying, doing, acting…? WTH??? Hey parents, wake up!!!

    The parent(s) of the 16 year-old should be held accountable and jailed until this young animal has been captured. Start holding parents responsible for this type of crap and see if it slows down. Then again, the parents are probably not any better.
