Hopefully someone will report that Jeep. I know many boys grow up with no strong male role model, but you can't say that these guys don't know what they did was wrong. I wish the amount of time served was more harsh in hopes that it would provide more of a deterant to crime

The Atlantic Street area use to be a very clean, neat and wholesome area. I remember the hard working people that use to live over there. They had the nicest yards and pretty clean front porches with beautiful plants and flowers. Everyone kept their little yards raked or sweep daily. It was such a cute little southern like street and no hung out over there. The people reared their children to work hard and to be somebody. This younger generation has a spirit of killing, stealing and destroying. May God heal their sick minds.

Why didn't they get charged with car-jacking??

Why is this guy (Clemmons) even OUT of jail? Obviously he has some issues, why not keept him IN jail until he learns his lesson. I am guessing that he didn't have a proper father figure around to steer him in the right direction.

I grew up in that neighborhood. I still frequent that area. By no means do they represent the other good people that stay there. I know times are hard, but this crap needs to stop! There's no excuse, and it's dispicable! The gangs, the drugs,the crime! Go away! Go to church and get saved! Rethink your lives and your mindsets. I came up in that neighborhood, and made it out. I have a blessed life. Those who think they can't, think again. Seek Christ and those around you who are willing to help. You can't change unless you're willing to be changed. Eastsiders, I challenge all of you to help restore that neighborhood, and show Wilson that it's just as deserving as any area of town. Take the neighborhood back!
