UPDATE: Victim identified in Little Rock homicide

ArkansasYankee and ITSJUTME: Again, you just told me what groups you belong to and for some reason felt the need to state that you prayed for some Black people. Seems to me you could be using your "retirement" for something better than commenting and making racially charged statements on news and newspaper sites. How about you go and volunteer in poor neighborhoods? How about you teach someone to read? How about you GET up and step away from the computer and actually get out and DO something verses typing and talking about what you stand for and who you "belong" to. You mean to tell me that Vets get the pass for such behavior because you simply are a vet? Hmmm. My Dad and many others who I know are Vietnam Vets. I know they don't share the same view. I ALSO clicked on your name and read your posted opinions. So, my questions were prompted by the synopsis of your opinions. It does not make anyone a coward because some of us did not choose to go to the military. LOL How dumb is that. As if being a member of the military is the only way to "fight" or contribute to this country. But, I was just a bit curious because you two are every where and you back up the individuals who post on these threads with racial slurs, etc. and etc. If you agree, doesn't that mean...I mean isn't that like...you're view as well? And let's just call all of these questions RHETORICAL.

itsjustme; I didn't mean to get you involved in my ongoing "friendship" with Dude. I was just bringing up the vets I know on here; men that I respect and admire for their service. I've read your posts, and as a result, know your military background. I trash the trash also; regardless of race; but it seems when it's a black person, I'm a "racist". Anyway, enjoyed your comments, and agree with them.

All of you ignorant mother truckers that want to talk shat about me can just suck it. Ghetto thug is no more a stereo type than meth head, so put THAT race card back into your pocket. I did serve over 30 yrs in the military and could have retired afterwards, but I chose to continue to work because I was mentally and physically able to. I've been to places and seen things that most of you coward asses never will because youre to much of a coward to fight for your country and freedom. I have every right to post what I want when I want, and if you simple minded fools dont like it, then kiss my ass. I hate thugs, meth heads, crack heads, thiefs and the majority of criminals, REGARDLESS of their race. Seems to me that some of yall need to lay the pipe down and pick up a dictionary and find the true meaning of a racist. Pieces of shat.

Dude; He asked me who I was; I gave him the short version. If you retain what you've read on here; you'd know Butch, itsjustme, Leatherneck, and others served in the armed forces. You'd know one was drafted, but stayed in 30 years. Like one said, someone on here is indeed pathetic. And as a couple of others have said, when it comes to serving in the armed forces, you don't have a clue.

I'd consider it an honor to serve under Gen. Powell should it be necessary. But I don't think I'd want Opio covering my flank! Or Dude either. Rather have Butch next to me, regardless of his disability! And I would gladly give my life for my country, right alongside him. But I like Patton's idea better; make the other sob die for his country!

LSMFT yes butch would fight to the death for his country. I've always said in the heat of battle the skin color next to you doesn't matter. Your just dam glad he is their. OH I have dropped the criminal activity. To old.

yank why are you answering for itsjustme? are you one of the same? two accounts yank? yank i don't believe he asked for your self-biography? he asked if you were getting paid to comment...i doubt it.... after digesting all that done forgot what the article was about....oh yea, one human killing another human...........

Oncebefore; I've already explained my work situation. Who am I? Born a Yankee. Lived my first 3 years in Great Britain. Educated in OK, AR, and IL the first 12 years. College before and after the Army in AZ. US Army veteran. College graduate, with Honors at PTC. Computer Information Systems with an Option in Network Admin. I ride a Harley. I belong to a Christian motorcycle ministry. I'm a Southern Baptist. I'm in the Patriot Guard Riders and ABATE of Arkansas. I'm a member of Harley Owners Group. I'll be 60 this weekend. I prayed for Akiya and her family; did you? I prayed for the black family that died in Jax from a fire in their apartment; did you? I've prayed for the young black men killed by thugs recently; did you? I've prayed for their families; did you? I am one of God's children, just as you are. My ancestry has been traced back to 18 families living in New England in the 1600's. Who am I? So much to tell you; but don't have the time or enough characters on here.

LSSSM: No they would not. Solution? Put them in front of those that are brave enough, and patriotic enough to defend our land. Let the enemy waste ammo cutting them down to give the rest of us a better chance!
