The smartest in the bunch, will be the first to cut a deal?
That neddle ain’ no joke; neither is life without parole.
So is the Atmore police chief going to have the guts to arrest the people responsible?Doubtful.
This reminds me years ago when an elderly man lost control of his car and drove into a ballpark full of kids, none were hurt thank God but people there pulled him out of his car claiming he was drunk and beat him to death, the autopsy showed he had lapsed into unconsciousness when his sugar level dropped due to Diabetes.
Don’t take the law into your own hands..
Taking justice in their own hands. Has killed him. Why?
Now Kenneth needs justice.
Cowards don’t hide now show your faces.
Sad situation.
two wrongs don’t make it right.
Culture of violence.
Odds anything comes of this?
Simple SOLUTION
close the bar till murderers are broughtbto justice.
SIMPLE!!!!
There should be justice for this man he didn’t run he done what was right and still had to pay with his life this was so wrong in so many ways I will be watching the news report on this I want to see the ones that played any part in this pay for what they did to this poor man and his family
Paul,
What does his past have to do with this accident?
Did they know who he was? No
The ones that did this to him, they will now have a past too, just like he did.
It was a terrible accident!
I hope they all get life in prison
The family of both victims in the tragedy need to know all the facts to this case in order to find some kind of closure to it all. Point of fact the whole community needs to know the facts. It was mentioned in a prior comment that if it takes outside investigators to come in to get the facts, then so be it. Justice must be served for all involved, and there is no room for the “mob mentality” that brought about the death of the driver of the vehicle.
To Paul. He did time for manslaughter and he pleaded guilty. And he served his time. Do you know the story behind this? The sentence passed by the judge couldn’t have been too long if he was out this early. Manslaughter doesn’t mean the same thing as murder.
I hope the people that beat this man gets convicted of murder. Vigilante justice can not be tolerated. I’m sorry this girl got hit and killed but the beating of this man was uncalled for.
he did time for murder not too long ago.
Every single person who laid their hands on this man that night deserves to rot in prison for years to get it through their heads that they are not the ones who are supposed to dish out punishment. Besides possibly restraining the man depending on the circumstances, nobody had any right to touch him.
I have no faith that law enforcement will be able to find justice in this case. This pack of animals Will run free.
and all this right there in front of his wife…..unreal!
So sorry for the two families who are suffer loss. The lady getting ran over was an accident. The beating however was not. He didn’t run, he stayed to see what he did. It’s a bad area at night. The “mob” well people know who they were. However it does need to be handled by outside law enforcement. Just saying. Too many “friends” of the cops involved I am sure. May both of these two souls rest in peace and May God bless their family and friends.
He did the right thing, He stopped. Look what happened to him, while his wife had to watch all of this from the car. It was a terrible accident, they didn’t know the man, it was a reaction from one and more followed, that alcohol made them all act crazy. And don’t try to say alcohol wasn’t a factor, they were at a bar. Now another death and should be arrests made. This could deter others from stopping at similar situations!
Most likely we will never find out all the facts unless outside investigators are brought in. When Drivers leave accident scenes they are punished severely – seems it’s a two sided sword! Do the same with mobs – drunk or not – any mob !!
This was such a tragic accident of this young and very beautiful young lady. My prayers are with her family, family of friends and the entire Creek Nation. What happened to this fella afterwards is just plain cold and senseless. I too do not know all of the specifics of this accident but what this mob did wasn’t going to bring this young lady back. I hope, through a thorough investigation, that the ones responsible for this death are arrested, tried and convicted. Better yet, I pray their conscience will have them turn themselves in. I can understand the feeling that they must have had after this accident happened but to assault a person to this point of him losing his life is just wrong. Prayers for his family as well as they try and make sense of this horrific tragedy that should of never happened.
This is so wrong. I don’t know the full story of what happened, but what they did to this man was totally uncalled for. I am so sorry the lady was hit and killed and may she rest in peace, and praying for her family and friends, but to do this beating makes me sick. Praying for the man and his family. May he rest in peace as well.
