Post #2)I am going to give this to yall and sit back and watch you and your county self destruct, personally I have better things to do than to continue to waste my time on illerate, ignorant, uneducated, whiners who want a handout, and who blame everyone but themselves for their problems. In the meantime though, I will remember the sheriff, his staff, this family and Echols county in my prayers. I do wish you all the best and hopefully this boy can be recycled and saved from himself before he does any more damage to himself or family. God bless you all.

#1 post) To Tax- you dont have to have money - try an attitude adjustment, those work miracles. Norman - the Lord I serve is interested in ALL aspects of my life and I am sure yours as well. to X - please tell us why the deputys are scared. You folks can waller in your self pity from now on if you choose, and I can guarantee you, your situation will never change. YOU HAVE TO BE THE CHANGE- dont wait on someone to hand you the glory road, find it yourself. I can see none of you want your situation to get any better, its a shame echols county is landlocked, otherwise it might as well fall off into the ocean and get you all out of your misery. STOP making excuses for criminals, the dope he had could have gone to one of your children, guess that would have been ok to, huh??? Not to mention (if there is a child in that household) that he/she could be in danger because of the dope head thugs that normally are associated with the dope coming around. I would rather have a roach in the room
