This young man needs help. An argument should not lead to arson.

Shame on you for posting those comments about the family. It is an act of cowardice to say inflammatory things and delete them afterwards. That shows a lot about your character. Looks like you are not perfect either. Set an example for your kids! How do you like being under public scrutiny? Gossip Monger!

What keeps happening to the comments???? Some pretty serious censorship going on here at the Patch! Guess they don't want people discussing things even though they put in a comments box.......
