murder

Jonathan Williams of Middleburg was arrested and charged with fatally shooting his neighbor, shooting the victim's 14-year-old daughter in the leg and then threatening to shoot family members who tried to provide aid to the victim.

According to a police report, Buddy Picket took his three children with him to Williams' nearby home to retrieve $35 he was owed. Williams had his children knock on the door and request the money. Williams became belligerent, grabbed a loaded shot gun and shot Williams twice in the torso. One bullet hit the daughter's leg.

It truly is a sad day in America; when cruelty to animals raise more cries for justice, than the murder of our children. When will the madness stop? When will the people rise up and demand action from society, not, from just law enforcement, but from society as a whole. Law enforcement can not solve this problem on there own. The parents and citizens must get involved. As a citizen you have an obligation to society to report what you know about a crime. I know people are afraid to get involved, but you must; if the madness is going to stop! Remember the next murder could be you, or worse your grandchild. That would be pretty hard to live with, if you knew you had a chance to change it.

Thankfully, this weekend an arrest was finally made in the Andrea Boyer case.  It is a blessing that the suspect has been picked up and off the street. My thanks go out to the CCSO. They did a marvelous job. The same can not be said of the parole board.

Someone needs to address the issue of sexual predators and do so effectively. The question arose about whether or not to let Jackson out early and based on the deeply thought out philosophy of "He was going to get out sooner or later" I have to say our parole officials really need to stop doing hallucinogens. I sincerely hope those twits become wracked with guilt for their actions and never know another moment's peace for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, I am sure they will make excuses they can live with. This is where being Amish could come in handy. When someone so screws up to annoy the community, the transgressor is subsequently shunned. No one makes any human contact with that person until finally, they just go away. I suggest we do this to whoever participated in this decision.
