Who says the city officials are corrupt? I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Can you imagine the outrage if the little thug had pulled the weapon and took two in the chest?
I would have had beat his black ass white. He'd have a GED from CPCC and I'd see that he was dropped off at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island ASAP! No Excuses Best of Luck!
Another racist post from Cedar Mouth. The young man made a mistake are you so freaking perfect. Crawl back into your KKK hole.
Well dad actually helped the guys make the case on this one. Hmmm. Reformed?
Sounds like he was cut some serious slack. No bail, No jail time, No cell, No orange jump suit. Didn't impound his car, the list could go on and on.
Dad wanted to let the kid hold them straps since he ain't got no right to do so his own self! He was all like, "Whew that was a close one, glad junior took it for me. I better call my pal Spence and get all this shit taken care of." I'm surprised McFadden hasn't gotten him back in front of the judge to get all of his rights restored. And laugh all you want at 'ol Patrick Cannon. Before you know it he's going to be back on city council or county commission and then probably the mayor again someday.
Poor kid, had a horrible example to look up to. Why is this suburban AK kid doing over in West Charlotte trying to be all bad ass? Marines may be the only place to snap his head back into place and save his life.
Orange ain't my color. lolololol
He is on a fast track to a toe tag. $10 says he doesn't see 21.
You may have noticed the local media has given this the complete down low treatment. This POS deserves nothing short of an active sentence to be served in Raleigh. Expulsion from CMS and removal from society. Ardery Kell has had enough heart break with the murder of Jenna Hewitt why risk having a violent offender in attendance? CMS needs to expel Patrick Cannon now.
What a great story. Way to represent AK via “westside” with dreads and sht tips. Can’t make this stuff up. Let’s see what happens to his case.
"Where did we fail this young man?"
