  1. Lamore Thomas, hopefully you didn’t kill that driver for $14.23 and 2 medium pepperoni pizzas.

    I know you don’t care if you in jail, but that driver’s family does care that they have to have a funeral.

    • You got right! Both these boys was homeless & still so
      Young, but they don’t deserve to die in the streets homeless. And pizza don’t deliver that late. He was typing me hrs before it went down. Make and model of cars of witnessing stuff. It’s not cool at all, but this young man is going to prison for life now. Fly hi Tyler, you will be missed. ((Homeless camps behind Lowe’s in woods need help!)) I am sure Meth was involved again. They are not right in their minds either way! It never works out on it while they are using it either.

  2. He was homeless living in his cars that is parked behind Thomas job. Thomas was probably protecting his self he’s a friend of mine and nobody was willing to help him out of the situation. Again another young man the system has f***in failed. Don’t make jokes about Thomas that man has a piece of my heart. And I know sincerely it had to be defense. He’s too likable. He’s the type that’ll make ya smile on ya worst day. He’s a people person. Self defense and only he can tell me different

  3. Lord how murcy,wish i would have knew the young men’s.They both are so young.Praying for both families.Mrs,Pitts from Fouroaks.
