Subject: most of the “info”
To anyone concerned: I subscribed to this chatlist to gain information about activities and news from around the area. So far there has been a bit of local info on painters, roofers, lost animals, found animals, etc. But most of the “info” has contained angry bursts from uninformed people.
Each time I read something negative about the local law enforcement, I get angry,too. My father was murdered on the side of the road at 1 a.m. on the morning of Nov. 6, 1957 when he stopped a car for speedng. He was Trooper W. L. Reece of Rockingham, NC born in Guilford County, NC. Who shot him? A speeder who was trying to make a get-away from a crime he had already committed.
This 65 y.o. Trooper’s kid and NC Wildlife Law Enforcement Officer’s wife asks you to think about why these men put their lives on the line each day. …to protect everyone equally ….even those who think that the speed limit doesn’t apply to them because they live here.
