Man we got us some white folks in da news. It about time.

What and ignorant thing to say, its doest matter if your black or white. shows how smart you are. that sounds like a racist

#1.1.1 Anono on 01/23/10 at 02:30 PM

What's ignorant. Don't we still need public hangings. And where is A'Shirley and that other loud mouth. Where is that Dunn woman. I am glad these guys will be going to white heaven.

#1.1.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 01/24/10 at 06:26 PM

Just in case there is a slim chance that I am the "other loud mouth" woman that you refer to in your article, here I am.....how may I help? Do you need someone to argue with? First, I have never conversed with one of you named Anono. I used that verbage when my child was young and picked up things he should not touch, I would say, "That is a no no." Is that you? I am sure A'shirley and that Dunn woman will be right with you. You will recognize them by their name, Mr. or Mrs. A NoNo.

#1.1.1.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 01/25/10 at 09:22 AM

I went through school and graduated with Robert Chapman. He was one of my best friends. Always friendly and a gentleman. Don't blame the parents for the short comings of a child. There are so many different drugs and temptations out there now...it is sickening. Robert....I missed you at the Class Reunion but I heard you are seriously ill right now. I pray for you and your well-being. Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom, when there is nowhere else to go, they start moving up...in the right direction. I hope that for Kevin. I pray for you. And to all you IDIOTS out there who have all the answers to child rearing....save that advice....you will most likely be in this spot one day. When your heart gets ripped out because your child has done something that you hoped would never happen. I actually hope Kevin turns himself in rather than trying to outrun the long arm of the law. If someone is killed it will be too late. By the way, this Run, Kevin,Run...Idiot. You are only wishing more and more negative publicity on Kevin and more serious punishment when he is caught. Rest, Robert, Rest...as best you can and I pray for your health.

When kids drop out of high school and parents will not make them become self-supporting. Instead they allow them to sleep all day, not go out and get a job, and then the parents wonder how this could happen.

#3.1 Anono on 01/21/10 at 02:23 PM

Do you know these guys parents? Stop blaming other people for the way people act. They decided to do this themselves.

#3.1.1 Guest on 01/28/10 at 02:58 PM

I agree don't blame the parents they know the difference between right and wrong

#3.2 lynn on 01/21/10 at 07:03 PM

these are grown men!!!why blame the parents?some parents raise their children the right way,but the "children" choose to run with the wrong crowd,do drugs,and so forth!!!the key word was THEY (the "children") choose not the parents!!!!!

Does anyone get the meth vibe here?

#6 This is what you get on 01/21/10 at 02:59 PM

Yes, I know the parents and these losers, and K Powers right on target meth vibe all the way!!!!

#6.1 wsg on 01/21/10 at 03:53 PM

Don't you realize the parents, wive's and children read these comments. You really should be a little more senstivie to them. They are grown men and make their own decisions but the families are the ones who suffer!!!!!!!!!!!!

#6.1.1 Anonymous on 01/21/10 at 04:31 PM

I know Ray....none of the others...I also know one of the parents...one of the problems today is everyone blames the parents. Ray and all the others are grown...make their own decissions and mistakes sometimes unawares of what is really what is going on before it is to late. Careful when pointing fingers at others.

#6.1.2 rhoda dunn on 02/02/10 at 05:34 PM

i have known robert chapman for over 50 years and a finer man cannot be found. i agree with you totally, but we have to remember there are some folks without a heart and very cold until it happens to them and they sweep it under rug or tuck head between legs and find a rock to slide under.i pray for chapman family and feel for them everyday. robert we missed you at class reunion and wish best for you and j.j. love ya

Kevin just can't stay out of trouble.

#8 I'm a waggin if that's what you want to call it on 01/21/10 at 04:49 PM

Kevin has been in trouble and in jail 7 times already and has never gotten a sentence to fit the charge, always probation and a fine.

But he wasn't sent to jail when he carried a gun onto Pike County High School Property after he had gotten expelled, and Zebulon Police Officer Lisa didn't care enough to even charge him with that crime,( He was a good person and she knew him personally) instead she let him go with a slap on the hand, never cited for anything on that, so now six years later he's shooting guns at people and throwing the gun in his father's lake. He needs to be caught and pay the price if he's guilty of this crime before he gets seriously hurt or hurts someone else. It's time for him to grow up and be a GROWN MAN, since that's what you referred to him as!!!

#8.1 Anonymous on 01/21/10 at 09:03 PM

well maybe you dont know him to well he is a good person who has some problems just like every body else.unfortunately he got to far off and did somethin he'll regret for the rest of his life. and why dont you quit bringin up the past. i'm positive you've done stupid stuff in the past stop bringin up his and think about you. ignorant

#8.1.1 Anono on 01/22/10 at 05:20 AM

He brought up the past because it shows a pattern of bad behaviour. He never learned from his past mistakes. He keeps on repeating them and that is what makes him a criminal. Eventually, if he is not taking out of society, his pattern will esculate.

#8.2 wsg on 01/22/10 at 10:25 PM

It was a referral to age not maturity.

#9 Jail Bird on 01/22/10 at 06:29 AM

Kevin has nothing to worry about. He has a "get out of jail free card" with his uncles bonding company. I bet his cousin is sitting on standby to go get him as soon as he is booked, like always.

#9.1 The Cousin on 01/22/10 at 12:23 PM

You obviously don't know the bonding business, or the uncle for that fact, or you would know that there is no such thing as a "get out of jail FREE" card. I am on standby for anyone who has the money, meets the requirements, and needs to get out of jail - THAT'S MY JOB!! Don't knock it, you may need me one day too!!

Yes, Kevin has been down the wrong road several times. Instead of pointing the finger and blaming his family for HIS bad decisions, how about looking at the judge and others that have swept this under the rug over and over. Most people wouldn't have this many chances in life, but then MOST people wouldn't screw up this many times either.

Regardless, Kevin is responsible for his own actions. If he did the crime, he will have to do the time. His family doesn't have to approve of and support his choices in life, but we love him just the same.

#9.1.1 me too on 01/22/10 at 05:00 PM

you said it just right. We never know what our children,grandchildren,nieces or nephews will do,but I'll never stop loving them and neither will Jesus Christ.

#9.1.2 wsg on 01/22/10 at 10:19 PM

And you got the point across without being nasty. That's what I like. Good job The Cousin.

#9.1.3 Concord Resident on 01/31/10 at 10:14 AM

Well said.

#10 anonymous on 01/22/10 at 08:28 AM

In reply to Kevin Chapman he needs to do some time for his actions. He has slipped by way to long. He has had to many favors done for him and now its time to pay the price. He only gets worse and has proved he can't get it together. Maybe some time in a cell will help get it together. Its bad enough you want to mess up your on life now your endangering other, hello he needs to be off the streets. Quit slapping his hand and let him face the real punishment like an MAN. He has good parents but they need to let him face the system.

#10.1 Well said on 01/26/10 at 09:43 AM

and so on the point. And I didn't see you slinging any mud in this comment but you were correct in what you stated, stating a fact!!!

#11 Anonymous on 01/22/10 at 09:47 AM

you must fall on your face before you can learn how to do things the right way... as a teen a ran with the wrong crowd thinking it was cool and the thing to do i got arrested one time, did my time and that was all it took, it was not a walk in the park, it was the worst thing ever! i let go of those friends and that life... i graduated from college and have a great job and look back as to how stupid i was

#12 This is what you get on 01/22/10 at 10:44 AM

Kevin must fall on his face too just like #11 stated before he can learn a lesson. He has learned nothing from his previous bad behavior and yes he chose to hang out with these people or they chose to hang out with him, so when they're all together they are all part of a wrong crowd. Kevin's parents need to learn to say NO to Kevin and stop paying his way out of things for him, stop enabling him and make him able for himself. Kevin needs to answer for his choices and pay the price for his crime if he's guilty. That's where the blame for a parent is, they've let him have a walk in the park and not be accountable for what he's done in the past by putting others in danger as well as himself. Kevin is not a MAN if he won't fess up and turn himself in. He's no better than the other three that are now in jail for this crime. Just pray that he doesn't get so desperate that he breaks into your home to steal and rob to survive and/or hurts you or someone in your family while he's under the influence of his drugs. It's time for Kevin to face the music to the song he made. BE WISE KEVIN CHAPMAN AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT, GO TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200, GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL!!!!

#13 Brittany Collins on 01/22/10 at 02:23 PM

WOW! RAY IS MY COUSIN AND I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH KEVIN!!! THIS IS NOT A SHOCK TO ME ABOUT KEVIN! BUT RAY???/ YES!

#14 Zebulon Resident on 01/22/10 at 02:32 PM

THEY JUST CAUGHT KEVIN A FEW HOURS AGO!!! OMG!!!!

#15 Donna Reeves on 01/22/10 at 02:58 PM

Kevin is responsible for what Kevin has done.

His parents are good people. They didn't enable him in his endeavors. In fact his family did everything they could to straighten him out.

The family has been having hard times for a while and believe me Kevin didn't help matters.

Kevin was a sweet child at one time and when he is straight he still can be. His family tried everything to make him grow up.

Kevin choose his own path in life.

#16 And the beat goes on on 01/22/10 at 03:10 PM

Kevin, you're acting like a fool
caus you done gone crazy
all the beer and the drugs
done made your mind go awry
you a big boy now, so no need to cry
need to turn yourself in here
cause you momma aint near
to save yo a** this time
she done spent her very last dime,

looking like a fool .......

#17 Stacey on 01/22/10 at 04:11 PM

I think Eminem said it best.."They say music can alter moods and talk to you
Well can it load a gun up for you , and cock it too
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued."
And from the bible.."Ye without sin caste the first stone"
Stop blaming his parents!! And Kevin (even though I know he'll never read this) You've really done it this time haven't you!? Get some help man this isn't you! STOP TASTING BREAD!!

#18.1 JUNK B on 01/23/10 at 08:28 AM

You dont even know Kevin. Lisa knows he wasnt meaning any harm when he had the gun on school proerty. He was picking a buddy up to go hunting after school.Not saying it was the smartest move but still, And Lisa is a great cop and Person as is Kevin, he just happen to make the wrong choices. Yes, he is a grown man and he will have to pay for his mistakes but its not fair to blame the parents because his mother and father did not rise him to act like that. They are very good respectable people I know them both and they did all they could to set him straight but hes going to do want he wants. Hes a good person inside it was what he was into that made him act like he did. and the people that REALLY know him, know that! He has served time in jail for his past mistakes so people need to get there facts straight before the go running there mouths and things they THINK they know. I just hope he learns from this and changes for his father that loves him and is very hurt by what is going on and his children.

#18.1.1 You need to go back to school yourself on 01/23/10 at 09:55 AM

From all the spelling errors in your post seems like you need to go back to school yourself. How do you know that I don't know Kevin? You're talking Junk just like your name shows. You don't even have a clue as to who I am. But just to inform you I'm actually related to Kevin and we're looking hard and heavy trying to locate him so we can turn him in before he does something worse than what he's accused of right now. So as far as facts you don't have all your facts right at this time. I know how long Kevin has served in jail and exactly how many dollars he has paid in fines, probation, etc. So, you can keep your junk comments to yourself. As far as Lisa and being a good cop, everyone has their own opinion. At this time I'm not stating mine as to the episode that happened about the pistol on school grounds, and these three boys do not hunt with pistols, nor did they even have a hunting license at the time.

#18.1.1.1 Anonymous on 01/24/10 at 03:21 PM

yeah and trying to find your family and turn them in is a very crappy thing to do especially if he's facing the time he's facing if you where smart you would just talk to him because if you know him he is going to do ONLY what he wants to do and honestly i think your just a liar

#18.1.1.1.1 Crappy thing to do?? on 01/27/10 at 10:16 AM

Why do you say it's a crappy thing to do to try and turn him in? That is the only thing and the right thing to do no matter how much time he is facing, if he did these things then he should face the time.

#19 way2go on 01/22/10 at 07:24 PM

They all need to pay for what they did. It doesn't matter who you are or what your name is, wrong is wrong. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Good luck in jail fellas, you deserve everything you get. When you get out, if you do, how about getting a job or going back to school to take up some of that free time you obviously can't manage.

#20 Anonymous on 01/23/10 at 02:21 PM

you get what you give. franklin gladden has done alot of bad to alot of people.

#20.1 wsg on 01/26/10 at 03:00 PM

and alot of bad has been done to Franklin Gladden... that pendulum has swung both ways... we all know that our past affects our future and some make the best of it easily and others have a more difficult time...

#21 Anonymous on 01/23/10 at 04:18 PM

Well your right about my spelling, its not my best subject, and I dont know who you are, as well as you dont know me. Ive been trying to find him because I dont wont anything to happen to him either. But for your info. Ive know kevin and his family since I was 7 and I sent most my childhood with him and his family at his fathers house all the way up to a few years ago when he wouldnt listen when I told him he needed to calm down and straighten up. So I know how much his Mr. RObert and his family as had do and pay to keep him out of trouble, and I know how many times his been in trouble hes been in and the probation, so I HAVE MY FACTS STRAIGHT. I just talk to his father yesterday, and I can go over and talk to him whenever I want.So he may not be blood related to me, but hes my family, and what kind of relative dogs there family no matter what they do.Your supposed to be there no matter what theyve done and try to support him in learning from what he did wrong and how to make him better. Every one makes mistakes and no ones perfect. kevin will have to pay for his mistakes, but hope fully this will be and eye opener for him.So Im goin to be there for his father when ever he needs me.I just talkin to him last night to check on him. So dont act like I dont know Kevin and his past and family Because YOU DONT KNOW ME.So stop trying to argue ab stupid stuff like grammar, and try to do somthing to help the situation!

#22 new kid on the block on 01/24/10 at 12:45 PM

Having moved to Pike in the last year let me say stories like this and the responses to them have supplied me with never-ending entertainment. I appreciate it very much. Mayberry with the internet is fun!

#23 Anonymous on 01/24/10 at 01:25 PM

Amen! We need to pray for Kevin and his entire family. I know what it's like to have someone in your family REALLY in trouble with the law. It takes a toll on the entire family....and KEVIN has a family no matter what. He just got mixed up with the wrong crowd and the darkness that Satan likes to bring into our lives has taken him over.......for now......GOD is a good God and hopefully Kevin will turn himself in and his family can rest knowing that is not on the run and living on the streets....so until you have lived in shoes like that.....keep your negative comments to yourself about his family! Prayers not negative comments.

#24 dave on 01/24/10 at 02:14 PM

you pike county folks should have locked these thugs up for just crossing the county line my god just look at them ugly and just nasty....

#25 Anon on 01/24/10 at 03:55 PM

Some of you may not realize this but Kevin is actually a father. A father to a child that he has yet to attempt to support. To me that is criminal in itself. So while some may think that he is just harming himself he has a child that is one day going to want to know about this man. Boy will he have a story.

#25.1 Jack Rabbit on 01/24/10 at 05:59 PM

Which Mama are you!

Run! Kevin run!

#25.2 You Make Me Sick! on 01/24/10 at 08:31 PM

Anon,
I would really just like to know where you get your facts from....a child he don't support...WRONG!!! He pays child support monthly and spends time with his little girl often. And as a matter of fact he has been with her on every holiday, so unless you actually know Kevin and are involed in his life, shut your mouth. It's folks like you who think you know things, make accusations like you have your facts straight but really you know no more than what you have heard through the grapevine. You don't have to support Kevin, I am not asking you to, but leave his child out of it. It is absolutely none of your concern nor your place to talk about his relationship with his child.

#26 A'SHIRLEY on 01/24/10 at 06:59 PM

The Devil told him to do it.....

#27 zebulon resident on 01/24/10 at 10:19 PM

Yes he does have a child so does Ray! he has 2!!! i dont get it! jsut grow up already i mean seriously!!! its ridiculous! Kevin just turn yourself in and stop being so stupid!!

#27.1 another anon on 01/25/10 at 07:11 PM

I know where the 1st child is, who and where is the 2nd?

#27.2.1 A'SHIRLEY on 01/27/10 at 01:41 AM

Does not matter how many kids he has.......The point is.......Is he supporting the kid or are we the people supporting the kid??

#27.3 family on 01/28/10 at 12:27 PM

Here's alittle bit for all of you to swallow!!! Get a life!!! and stick your nose in your own buisness!! I find it absolutly rediculious that grown people have nothing better to do but pass judgement on people !! These men are grown they made the choices they made , and unfortunatly the only thing that we as their families friends wives and girlfriends can do is trust in the process!!! I'm the mother of RAYS CHILD!!!!! let me tell you something before you sit around and say anything about these men who the HELL are you!!!! Your not god or the judge!!!! Maybe you should think of his child THAT HAS LOST HIM BECAUSE OF HIS CHOPICES!!!! I think it's patetic that you people have nothing better to do with you time!! I dfon't know ray as what he has been accused of I know him for who he is! I know him as the man that loves his child and life and weather he's guilty or not is not up to the likes of you!!! so maybe you should spend your time looking at your own life!

#27.3.1 Anono on 01/28/10 at 05:20 PM

I will probably be on the jury so I will have to judge them.

#28 Enough Already on 01/25/10 at 11:21 AM

#23 says it all. This "Anon" person who keeps posting all of Kevin's faults and bad choices in life that have absolutely nothing to do with him being wanted for armed robbery, needs to give it a break! If you are "family" as you have stated back in these statements, then stop to think what your statements are doing to others in your family. You need to quit spewing at the mouth and pray for resolution. We all know Kevin has done wrong, but putting him down is not going to change anything. If I am correct on my guess of who this "family" is, I know for a fact your past isn't free of crime either. None of us are perfect, but give it a rest. You make the rest of us who actually care what happens to him, look bad. ENOUGH ALREADY!

#29 Rusty Gwyn on 01/25/10 at 11:50 AM

Hi,
My name is Rusty Gwyn. If you really want to blame someone about Kevins behaviour, you can blame me. Yes kevins parents probably made some mistakes, but if your a parent, youve made them to. I gave Kevin his first sip of alchol we he was 12 yrs old (got him drunk) not knowing what it would later lead to. Kevin had spent the week with me when I was in college. We thought drinking was cool and letting him have a drink or two would never hurt him. I was Kevin's hero, if i did it, Kevin wanted to do it. If I said it, Kevin wanted to say it. Kevin loved me and I loved him. Keving Chapman was one of the sweetest and most well behaved kids in the world. He hunted with me and my buddies all the time. Therefore he was exposed to adults doing STUPID things and therefore he thought it was ok. He listend to us talk about girls, saw us drink, saw us poach, and heard us cuss and thought it was the cool thing to do. He thought it was ok because his cousin did it. However, as Kevin became a teenager we drifted apart. I carried on with my life and lifestyle, and he carried on the lifestyle i had led him into thinking it was ok. I never knew he would come to this 10 years ago when he drank that liquor drink that night in Tifton Ga. I say all this to make one point. 2 1/2 years ago Jesus Christ saved my soul!!! In 1 more week i will have been alcohol free for 2 years, not one drop. We all make mistakes. I know everyone of you have made mistakes, it just hasnt made it to the front page of the paper yet. But one day, my bible says every knee shall bow and every tounge will confess. Your deepest darkest most horrific thought will be displayed for the world to see. So before you go slinging kevin or his family through the mud, you may want to go look at that sinner in the mirror. James 2:10 says if you have broken the law in one place, you have broken it completely. Kevin needs Jesus! Kevin needs prayer! Does Kevin need to pay for what he did? Of course he does!! But judging him is the Judges job. Why dont you get out from in front of your computer and go check on his dad. Pray with him. Go check on his mom, pray with her. Go check on his aunt with cancer, and pray with her. Then and only then, God can intervine and clean this mess up. And quit hiding behind your silly little screen names. If your a man, be one.

Have a good day!

#29.2 A'SHIRLEY on 01/25/10 at 05:29 PM

AMEN!! Maybe you need to become a speaker....Sounds like to me a few of these High Schools in and around Pike County could use a nice gentleman as yourself to speak on such a subject!!

#29.2.1 Anono on 01/25/10 at 07:07 PM

I smoked dope with my brothers at 10, had sex at 13 and did a lot of other things but I never robbed anyone. He is still responsible for his own actions. If they were Korean or any other minorities we would not be giving this person a break. See all the comments about the black Burden kid two months ago.

#29.2.1.1 Anonymous on 01/26/10 at 07:46 AM

And one day you will answer for your actions & I will too. But don't pride yourself on your actions or think you are a better person because you did not do the actions that these boys did. In God's eyes your actions are just as wrong.

#29.2.1.1.1 Anono on 01/26/10 at 05:15 PM

I will have to disagree, I am a better person because I did all this to myself and did not go out and involve other people. I can take the account for all I did. I am not hiding from the law and never have. This guy is hiding and everyone is coddleing him.

#29.2.1.2 Sheila Tolley on 01/26/10 at 10:56 AM

If he were a cold bloodied Korean murderer, you are right ...we would give him Hell. You have not read where I put down black people...they are Americans. Murdering and illegal immigrants is where the line is drawn with me.

My point is, he should do his time before he becomes a cold blooded American killer. He is well on his way. These guys do not need understanding they need jail just like the Burden kid.

#29.2.1.2.1.1 A'SHIRLEY on 01/27/10 at 01:37 AM

You can place them in jail......but what or who is to say when he gets out he want murder anyone?? I believe we just saw that on the last case of Kelly Hammond.....RIP!!

#29.3 Who on 01/26/10 at 08:55 PM

Rusty,
My heart is breaking...So I will keep praying to.

#29.4 Cindy Cato on 01/28/10 at 12:41 PM

AMEN RUSTY!!
Well said! There will only be one judge on judgement day.

#29.5 Big L on 01/29/10 at 07:08 AM

Rusty you are right on, Kevin has made some mistakes in his life as we all have and he will have to pay for them. The only difference between an honest man and a criminal is the criminal got caught. Please we all need to pray for kevin and all these men, there familys suffered enough

#30 Donna Jo on 01/25/10 at 04:30 PM

Rusty, I'm glad for you. No one knows till they open their eyes or walk in others shoes.
You know how ruff they have it. Kevin didn't help matters.

Bless you and yours,

#31 Pike on 01/25/10 at 08:17 PM

Does anyone know where this happened?

#32 Think about this on 01/25/10 at 09:44 PM

After reading all of these comments back and forth, I would ask you all to think of one thing, these four men have families. Families that love them despite their faults. Maybe they do deserve what they get, maybe they should rot in jail for the rest of their lives and never been offered forgiveness from society, I don't really know about that but I know that whether they deserve it or not, it hurts the family the same. You see, we know these men not as the ugly drug addict, theiving criminals that you see them as here but we know them as who they really are, without the influence of alcohol and drugs. And no matter what they do, that is the person we see in that prison. I do not know this Kevin everyone seems so interested in or his family but I do know a very similar story where the parents, the brothers, the sisters and more than anything the children of this man have been hurt beyond measure by his actions. They don't need your judgement on top of that. They go to bed every night wondering what more they could have done. TRUST ME!!!

#33 Lynn M is back! on 01/26/10 at 08:22 PM

wow...if i remember correctly a statement on Jeffrey T comments that it was the parents fault that he did what he did....hmmm wonder who made that statement......

I have lived in pike county all my life, i know just about everyone and just about everyone knows me because my grandmother owned the diner in town for 16 years. I went to school with Kevins sister and to church on occasion with them both, Kevin was a fun loving type of person. It is not his parents fault how he turned out, he has made his own decisions in life and has been doing so for a long time. He has made poor decisions and is at a dead end. I dont think he will be getting a slap on the hand this time, committing a crime and then running is not something to just get away with. To his family you are all in my thoughts and prayers and hopefully Kevin will become a better man to himself and his Children when all this ends. As for Ray. He is one of my husbands good friends, Me or my husband both are shocked at Rays actions in this. Its something that we would never imagine Ray doing. I am not making excuses for Ray but he is a good hearted man an would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. His mother an Daughter are in our thoughts. You pike county folks really have nothing better to do then come on this website an down grade the families and the criminals. I agree with one person...the families do suffer more than the person who committed the crime. I think the families of these men along with other families deserve the respect you would want if your loved one was to ever do something such as this. They will have their judgment day along with all of you. None of you have the right to place judgment.

It seems as though I run into you every where!! Great Post hun!!

#34 wsg on 01/27/10 at 10:11 PM

Kevin was arrested today. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

#35 Jack Rabbit on 01/27/10 at 11:00 PM

I heard our Jack Rabbit's run is over.

#36 Lynn m. on 01/28/10 at 08:28 AM

Lol i know right, an its sad because every time i come on this site to read things going on in pike all i see is the same ppl down grading families an how ppl were raised, then i read this an all of a sudden its never the parents fault how their child acts. ha its just amusing to me. as i have said an continue to stick with. Every one is responsible for their own actions. Parents are not responsible for their childr actions after they become old enough to no right from wrong.

#37 zebulon resident on 01/29/10 at 08:01 PM

You people are really really sick! All you do is sit on here and post NEGATIVE! crap! all day long!! DONT POST ANYTHING! if your gonna post this crap! Rusty said it right!PRAY FOR THEM!!! please! they need it! Pray for their families and their children!Ray and Kevin both have little girls that need their daddy's to be there for them.

#38 ggscocoa on 01/30/10 at 09:46 PM

I think people should read their comment and maybe use spell check before they hit the summit comment button.

#38.1 Concord Resident on 01/31/10 at 10:50 AM

gg, honey, you should have taken your own advice.

How much do you charge for your spell-check services? Do we get a discount for your typos?

#39 KarmaZ@Bitch on 02/01/10 at 04:31 AM

Who did they Rob? His name is Jamie Criswell from E.Griffin. Alias: C.C. U people want to do some research with all your spare time __Start with this Piece of S**t. He is in Henry County Jail as we speak for sales 2 an undercover agent...on his spare time he rides with agents 2 Rat on folks. When not in jail he is terrorizing folks & robbing them. HOW QUAINT! Why were these guys all 2gether? RELATED...FAMILY! Since when did the police get involved with family matters? the victims grandmother, whom has been a victim of her grandsons TERROR for years is probably wondering WHY Oh HOW did a Monster like her grandson become a victim. Mr. Criswell was just at the right place at the right time. That place Pike County. That time was when Ole Batchlor could use him 2 get what he really wanted...Kevin Chapman. WATCH OUT people....

#39.1 watching on 02/02/10 at 07:33 PM

Huh?

#40 zebulon resident on 02/01/10 at 03:57 PM

why are people so worried about spell check!~ get a life!!!

#41 Pfft on 02/01/10 at 04:14 PM

I grew up with Kevin and I don't even know this person I see here. I remember playing over at their house when I was really little. I also remember going to pond drainings and fishing. I remember how fun loving he was and I have no idea where the heck things went crooked. It's shocking to have memories like that and then to see what's going on now. Man, this stinks.

His family will be in my prayers.

#42 Anonymous on 02/07/10 at 06:55 AM

So Sorry Ray that somehow you got into this mess.....this is not you...I have watched you with your girl nothing but love....I have seen you work, hunt,live, love, cry and laugh. This mess is not you!! I am praying for you and know that God will be with you. But remember in all things trust in the lord and lean on those who love you the most (ex-specially) Mom. Shes your best help other than God in this time of need. Call if you like....I'll except.

#43 LBlakeney on 02/17/10 at 05:38 AM

I grew up with kevin and have known his family all my life! His family is the best you could ask for. I work in law enforcment now and see this kind of thing all the time its not because he didnt get the love or attention he needed... We as "Citizen's" see it all the time young people getting mixed up with the "WRONG PEOPLE" this could happen to anyone...

#44 wsg on 02/18/10 at 09:47 AM

Gladden was "supposedly" the first to get arrested so tell me in this justice system why has Haralson and Andrews already been to court and been set a bond? If he was the first to be arrested then he should have been the first to court. Now, Riddle me this. A murderer gets out on a $10,000 bond, but these two guys were given a $250,000 bond? So, in the court's eyes, is a person's life less valuable than what these guys have supposedly done? None of this is making any sense to me! Now let me make it clear that I am not excusing or saying they shoudln't be punished if this really occured, but atleast let the punishment fit the crime!

#45 worried on 03/15/10 at 07:04 PM

does anyone know when kevin is going to court?

#46 anna on 05/16/10 at 09:59 PM
