Acutally, I am quite offended when someone only gets 10 or 15 years for killing another human being, which is a common sentence for many drug-related shootings. All victims matter, and handing a small sentence because the victim was a dealer is like saying that the victim matters less.

All of the colorful language aside, I’m glad that the shooter won’t be out here anytime soon. I’ve lived on 24th for three years, and there is a dead kid on this street for every year I’ve been here.

edg – from the context, I’d guess “dnt”=”don’t”.
I vote leave them up also, not that John’s going to take them down anyway. It’s not just a site for the well-educated and/or white folk, after all. If you’ve never learned to express yourself without using potty words, you use potty words – but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a voice.
I like being able to see how people outside my social circle see the world, even if it takes some effort to translate.

I sort of agree with the person who said that these comments show another side of life up here on the Hill however, I think the profanity is over the top. I daresay if I posted something with all of that profanity, my post would probably be removed (as well it should). If friends of deceased victims want to post their remembrances, etc. I say great – this site should be used by everyone. but please John, can we have some rules?

I dunno about you guys, but I find the posts from the “other side of life” e.g. 31. and 32. to be vivid reminders of the fragile world we live in up on the Hill.

Yes, those posts are shocking. But they keep me aware of why we’re working so hard to make “greater Church Hill” a safer community for everyone.

Sometimes, when my block is quiet, the hookers & bums stoop yelling and the weeds/trash are under control, I relax and think “oh, what a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood”.

About then a couple violent news stories and a few vulgar postings shock me back into reality and put me back “on guard”. Which is probably a good thing, at least for now.

John,I continue to be concerned about the content, word usage (n-word, profanity, etc.)in some posts. I AM NO PURITAN, but ,at times, these entries make CHPN look like a graffiti covered wall. You have my email, and we have met and talked before. Please contact me so we can discuss it further. Thanks and (as ALWAYS) THANK YOU for an EXCELLENT forum and site !

Richmond man convicted of double murder to be sentenced

Shooter tells how 2 teens were killed; he's guilty of murder (RTD 5/30)

The two witnesses, Antoine Dabney and Codie Holcomb, testified that they saw Johnson shoot Harris and then Robinson without warning. Dabney and Holcomb said they, along with Robinson, Harris, Johnson and two or three others, had been joking around together on the corner moments before. Dabney said that after he offered to sell Johnson some marijuana, Johnson stepped into a nearby house for about 10 minutes before returning to the group and shooting the two teenagers. In his testimony, Johnson said he got a gun in the house, saying Holcomb had warned him that one of the teens "said he's going to do something to me. "All I remember is I closed my eyes and I blacked out."

A man who carries himself in the ways of the world shall surely die by the way’s of the world. When you become so wrapped up into the street life, I see there is only two way’s for you to go. Either you are hunted or you are the hunters kill. And as far as you stupid as motherfuckers who are still enslaving yourselves instead of helping pick eachother up and getting out of this hell, you LOVE to live in.And until, a nigga or bitch know the real story or was actually there to witness the situation first hand, who the fuck are you to say anyone is quilty. “My Big Brother” I will never see you as the monstrous person they try to make you out to be. My middle Finger is up to anyone who dont like what I have to say. ” And thats why I’m screaming Fuck Friends. I’d rather chill with my enemies. Because in the end thats all you turned out to be. ”

While these deaths are indeed a sad day for their families, if someone lives a certain lifestyle it will catch up with you. I don’t think the death is as sad as 2 lives that never had a chance because of factors out of their control. You say poor family, I say poor society for letting them down.
