WOW! Very powerful quotations in this article and surely some things to think about. I won't interject my opinion really on this because I'm like a lot of people in that I really don't know what REALLY happened at the scene and noone seems to be trying to find out. I will say though that the continuous screams of racism is getting quite boring. I'm sick and tired of it and I'd love to see those who continue to spread that sort of hate and discontent to find something else to cry about because there surely is so much more out there.

So we could end up with a possible I-40 interstate through Jacksonville? Being from a bigger city where almost all travel was completed on interstate highways, making commuting much faster, and being one who gets stuck in this NC-24 traffic both to and from my job in the downtown area of Jacksonville, I'm all for this idea. The Hwy 17 bypass extension and new base entry are going to help alleviate some of the traffic but even if reducing and cutting back at the base reduces some of the population currently traveling NC-24, I still see the current path of travel being a problem. The number of people trying to get past the base from the Hubert/Swansboro/Cape Carteret/Morehead City areas are still probably pretty comparable to the number trying to get into the base gate. Having an actual interstate system, in my opinion, would prove to be successful in this area and might also benefit in the form of revenue for travelers that use the thouroughfare as they might be more willing to stop for a break here if it's easier to get to the businesses on NC-24. This idea can truly only be successful as long as the City and all others involved stay commited to keeping the businesses along the current NC-24 corridor IN business. So many businesses on the 24 stretch where the Hwy 17 bypass was constructed are now either out of business or struggling to keep afloat. I think supporting our local businesses should always be a top priority in these types of considerations as they are the ones who help sustain our economy in combination with Camp Lejeune residents.
What are your thoughts? For those who live in the area or whose daily travel/commutes include this stretch of road, are you excited or discouraged about the idea of another option for traveling?

I find it sad to see how little attention and comments the stories of the ones we lose every day seem to get compared to the ones of rape, murder, politics. These men and women deserve a lot more just just a spread in the newspaper. So in honor of all of those that have sacrificed the ultimate sacrifice, any time I see another one lost, I will post the article here for everyone to see. I offer my condolences to this soldiers family and friend and pray for them as they deal with their loss.
RIP Soldier and thank you for your service though those words will never be enough for what you gave to us all.

So these five thugs somehow got it in their heads that it was okay to go into someone's home with guns and beat up a 19 year old young man and his mother and scare the hell out of all of them?!?! I want to know what thugs like this are really thinking? At what point did they think, "hey, it would be fun to bust into someone's home while they sleep, beat the hell out of them and do it without getting caught"?!?! Sorry you losers, this is a very small community and you will NOT be able to run for long. We all see your pictures on JDNews & WITN so why in the world do you think hiding out is going to work? You already made the dumbest choice on the planet to break into this families home. I think it's time to step up to the plate like an adult and face whatever you have coming! I hope it's a verrrry long time in jail with maybe a few ass kickings from the other thugs who will hopefully become your roommates! How in the world would you have felt had this happened to you and your family?!
