This sad news is breaking in Chapel hill, NC.<BR/>"Chapel Hill police said Thursday a woman found shot to death on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the student body president."<BR/>Apparently she was the victim of a car jacking, she was 22 years old, a pre med student from Athens, GA. Her name was Eve Carson. <BR/>What a waste of a productive, promising life. I hope ya'll will keep Eve's family in your thoughts and prayers also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-57623061297953387072008-03-06T12:15:00.000-06:002008-03-06T12:15:00.000-06:00That should have read "infrequently".

In my entire five year residence in Helena, there has not been a single violent crime with the exception of a very few domestic violence incidents.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457956739752722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-55809139275381173622008-03-06T12:10:00.000-06:002008-03-06T12:10:00.000-06:00You got that right, Ken.

From my time in the Marines spend partially in armpits of the world, to my time in law enforcement where I have seen crime and poverty and everything else that is negative about the human condition, there is still the mental line of defense that tells us some places are immune. <BR/><BR/>Crime happens in my city, although frequently. Crime happens in Auburn, although it is a college town and things like this just don't happen here. It isn't logical, but now there is the thought in the back of my mind that Auburn is no longer pristine and safe.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention my oldest daughter is 17 and about to graduate high school. As I said, I know the statistics of crime and all of that, but the human part of me falls into that trap sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Another tragedy that I should have discussed is the murder of the 17 year old young man in California, who was a football genius and who was mere months from rising above the inner-city and going to a major university. All because he was not in a gang. <BR/><BR/>I can't help but have a lopsided smirk when I think that we get what we deserve.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457956739752722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-32567248935501186192008-03-06T10:12:00.000-06:002008-03-06T10:12:00.000-06:00Besides the tragedy which adds to the lunacy of al...Besides the tragedy which adds to the lunacy of all of the recent College murders, I know this one in particular breaks your heart as it happened at your pride and joy.The Liberal Lie The Conservative Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082308076603570611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-36075202545275609942008-03-06T00:13:00.000-06:002008-03-06T00:13:00.000-06:00How heartbreaking.

What if she'd been armed? Perhaps she'd still be dead, but perhaps not. I don't think 21 is a fair age to require a person to reach to purchase and possess a firearm. If one is an adult (18), living on their own, they ought to have every right of every other adult. Predators don't discriminate, why should the law?Wadicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759878578214086966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-82946182627698507362008-03-05T21:14:00.000-06:002008-03-05T21:14:00.000-06:00i will join my thoughts and prayers with yours, ro...i will join my thoughts and prayers with yours, robert. this is truly a tragedy and i wish i had an answer to your questions...heidianne jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783032991482798159noreply@blogger.com
