mk4roch- I read that sickening article you mention. Its content is appalling and in itself should be treated as criminal. This website should be shut down by the host. Posting and condoning such violence is in no way excusable. Free Speech or not; sick.

Tony: Your Faith and Will to live will get you through this. May the good Lord's Heavenly Light shine down on you, heal you and grant you peace. It is not time for you to go home yet. God be with you and your family.

Its nice to hear about how everyone is pulling together during this time of sadness. But its also unfortunate that it has to come down to a life or death situation before most people will take the time of day to care about a stranger. My father and step father are retired police officers. I'm lucky to have them in once piece. To know there are people out there with the audacity to take an innocent persons life, its just incomprehensible. As for as that ba***rd who shot the poor police officer... I don't want my tax dollars going towards his room and board at a prison, just give him the death penalty.

This officer assisted my husband and I after a car accident, he was not only professional he was compasionate. He even recognized my husband while he was buying coffee at an establishment weeks later and asked him how we were. What happened to him is senseless. I pray that he recovers.

I hoep he is able to make a full recovery, i envy everything the cops do for the community, now on the other hand i did some searching on the internet and found this horrible website that condones the action of this 14 yr old boy... its disgusting. I grew up in the city my whole life and am only 20 yrs old. To think that someone only 6 yrs younger then me can do this is just unbelievable, all of my peers agree that this kind of action i not acceptable. here is the website...:http://underprivilegedjournalism.wordpress.com/
