Ok OSJ your still not getting the point we are all trying to make. You come on here blasting and name calling to other members on the forum and telling them they were out of hand for trying to find out if the information they had heard was correct or not. You are absolutely right this is a forum. Which means not only for opinions but for questions to others to to get to the real answers. If you want to exacts don't read a forum watch a newscast. And most were own here to speak there mind on the actual topic of the tragedy not to blast others for asking questions!! I think that is what upset most of us because you were taking shots at the people on here who whether from the community or not that was truly concerned with what was going on. And the senceless murder of one child much less two by a parent no less had many of us truly upset and just getting it off our chest and you had to make it about how wrong people trying to find out information.

I am greatful to know that you do actually care and didn't mean for it to come off that way. All I'm saying is for those of us who had any contact with the victims the name calling just sounded a little disrespectful.

All I am asking is please don't throw insults at people who are grieving as is so many in this particular situation.

The kids at school are having a really hard time with all of this and is the rest of the families so please keep them in your prayers.

Just for the record I did apologize to "jjulie". Thanks.
I don't necessarily agree with the presentation of OSJ's first post, but the content was perfectly valid. If people want to show compassion and respect for the family members, friends, and community, then they should start by having the common sense and decency to not repeat everything that their friend's cousin's neighbor's ex-sister-in-law's aunt said as though it's fact. Having the restraint to not do that is called personal responsibility. It's one thing to report what's heard on scanner channels or from someone clearly on the scene and informed. It's another to report that "they are saying" another body was found in Lexington and one on Locke Six Road as was done in this thread. Screaming "Fire!!!" in a movie theatre is against the law for a reason, you know. Personal responsibility is a big part of having common sense and being respectful of other people.
Back on topic, this is close to where my wife grew up, but we didn't know these people. We still feel for them. It's been a rough week since I had an older cousin die.

What we'd like to know and don't know who to ask is about the little boy's father. Is he alive? Did he live here or up north. I'd assume (and hope, if you understand) that he's upset over this and needs our help.

Anyone know?

This story has gotten way out of hand. There are so many different versions going around that the truth is only a small fraction of what's circulating. STOP the hear-say. Even the papers are screwing it up because everyone is trying to be the first to get the info out there. RETARDED!


Why are you here??? Roll Eyes


Why are any of us here, UNA LIONS FAN?


Hey OSJ- My question to you maybe should have been: "Why are you reading this thread that you think of as retarded?". That is one thing that I don't understand when it comes to forum readers. If you don't like a certain thread, go to another!

Yesterday's posts were written while the suspect was possibly still on the loose. Everyone on here was most likely scared, sad, and mad! So anyone with a tidbit of info was posting it to inform others. Like someone said, most of the info given here ended up being correct.

Now if people had started the "OH, I know her! She was my coworker's cousin's husband's sister-in-law", I would have gotten ticked, as well. Normally that's what happens when something tragic occurs. Some people want to 'prove' that they 'know' the victim. But, that was not going on yesterday. I think everyone on here had the same feelings and reasons for posting.

I pray for the families and friends involved and that our community does not have to go through something so horrific again.

The SI has an article on this. Very Sad.
yes, Kevin's parents live here and are on up in years and not in the best of help. We were told this morning that his mom was taken to the hospital yesterday -- I'm sure the stress of all of this is taking its toll. I'm not sure if they admitted her or just treated and released, but please keep both the Morgan and the Garner families in your prayers...

Outspoken Jerk -- please let it go...join us in supporting the community and the family and show us your heart and not your mouth in all of this...you were obviously misunderstood and I took up for you, but your last few posts continuing this unnecessary drama are just that ... unnecessary...I know you are a good person -- so show the rest of them that...
You must be devoid of even an ounce of empathy to look into the eyes of a child you helped create and bring into this world and take her out of it in an instant. I would step in front of a speeding train without thought to protect my child. And I know that for most of us parents the biggest fear that sets in after bringing that precious baby home from the hospital is of something bad happening to him or her. Truly the most selfish, cowardice and savage act a "parent" could carry out.

I will keep all in my prayers. I especially feel bad for Kevin Garner's parents. Not only did they lose two children, but two grandchildren as well. Pitiful.

If any of you hear of a memorial fund set up for the family, please post the info.
I had basically the same thoughts on this. How can anyone bring intentional harm to their own child? I can see( NOT understand) how a man can become so angered at his estranged wife he looses all control of rational decisions,but to murder ones own child is beyond anything I can even imagine.
The only thing he did right that day was to execute himself. I am sure there are many who want to believe he snapped or some long named mental illness. Considering all the events and how the day played out,it is appearing he planned his deeds down to the very last detail. Pure evil at work.
AND,if his own family was preparing to testify against him,then the evil was already growing in that mans heart.
