As the daughter of an addict and parent of an addict, you hit the nail on the head. It's a hell no one can imagine. Eventually, you have to realize that you can't fix them if they don't want to be fixed. That sounds incredibly cold, but sadly it's the harsh truth.

Yes there are true monsters living amongst us. The Veronica Butler case is another one that haunts me.

I read about this over the weekend and felt anger that he got off so "easy". But after a moment of clarity, it hit me that there will be nothing easy for him in the afterlife. I feel no remorse for him.......at all.

She shouldn't be allowed to have any visitation with the grandchildren. Any money she makes from interviews, painting, soothsaying," preaching", writing.......whatever she decides to do, should go to Jilian & Veronica's families. I am furious that she had the opportunity to CHOOSE what she...

Not at all. We do this to protect our congregation FROM the bad guys. Huge difference. In the time I've been a member, we've not had anyone with weapons, but we have had 2 separate protestors and one of those was trying to film our children.

My husband was born and raised in this area. When I told him what had happened, he was shocked. He's reaching out to people he grew up with just to make sure everyone is okay. I don't understand why people want to do things like this after such a horrible tragedy.

Unfortunately, our veterans do NOT receive the care they need when returning from war. I can speak to this as the sister of a soldier who served in Iraq for 4 years. He came back a different person and it took almost 5 years to get him treated properly. PTSD is real and the issues they face...

I'm on the security team for my church and we had LE come in and teach an Active Shooter training. We have "range days" at a local shooting rage about once every 3 months. We've also been taught in hand-to-hand combat. I miss the days of just going to church and relaxing, with no worries.

Correct......and no guessing as to whether a crime had occurred or not. I was agreeing with the original poster that this case reminded me of the OK case.

Yes, the Veronica Butler case. EBM

This is so shocking and heartbreaking. Prayers for him and his family. Thankful that the shooter was located.

BBM Can the Governor or State Reps be contacted to request this? I'm all for starting the process!

I don't know if what they are saying is true, and withhold my decision on that until I hear more information. With that being said, it seems there was a lot more going on in the jail and judges chambers than most people knew about. Do I think the judge should have been shot and killed? No Do...

Kaitlyn.....she was fired from the prison, correct? Was she not showing up for work because she was afraid of the VL gang members? Was she being harassed? Did she decide to stop providing contraband and left in an effort to save herself? There are so many questions where she is concerned...
