Prayers for the family and friends of Ms. Myrick. I hope OCSO can catch whoever did this and bring them to justice.

More cameras needed to find the getaway vehicle...

@Zeb: Party pooper!

Beers!!!!

Aww, poor employee. Perhaps it's time to move jobs... As for the robbery, could it be a wayfaring outlaw on his way through town? How many black Impalas are in town???

Service guarantees citizenship. Would you like to know more? Seriously though, citizens take priority.

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe that people commute *ALL THE WAY* from Oconee county!!!!

Are you sure the suspect wasn't "tall, dark, and handsome"? Ha-ha.

Hey, don't bash the Alps Kroger. The new product lineup in the upgraded wing is great, and I plan on shopping there often. Shoplifters aren't going to ruin my enjoyment of the frou-frou cheese and wine selections. So there!!

Prayers for Grace....

Great job, police!

Parking spaces, my precioussssss!

So, if there were 3 attackers... Let's do some quick math here...

@Colonel McCheese: Actually, the original story says that after being shot *5 times*, the perp. ran out of the house and drove away, albeit unsuccessfully. So, the moral of the story is, sometimes it takes more than 5 bullets to put down an attacker. "Investigators said Slater then chased the family into a crawl space near the attic - and when he opened a door, the mother opened fire striking him five times. Police said Slater stumbled out of the house, got into a car and crashed into a tree line in an apparent get-away attempt." http://www.cbsatlanta.com/story/20506821/homeowner-shoots-intruder-in

Which judge should we send the poop-mail to for letting this evil man out?

One more reason to move from ACC to Oconee, as if you need another! Great job, Sheriff Berry, someone that clearly respects the U.S. Constitution, upon which this great nation was built!

Would ESPN say Kanye West is a "cornball brother" for inseminating a white woman? She is white, right? It's hard to tell through all the pancake makeup. Also, what is a cornball? Is it like a hush puppy?

Ooh, I know! Why don't we make it illegal to:

(1) Steal some guns (from your mother, for instance)
(2) Shoot someone in the head (like your mother, for instance)
(3) Take several weapons into a weapon-free zone (like a school, for instance)
(4) Shoot a bunch of kids and adults (like the kids at Sandy Hook, for instance)
(5) Shoot yourself in the head (like Lanza, for instance)

Um, wait. Aren't all of these things illegal??!?!?!

Guns illegally stolen from your mother to illegally murder her and then illegally murder a bunch of other people are . . . illegal.

Also, it doesn't take TV or video games to make a mass murderer. Read the Wiki page on the worst school massacre in US history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster). The year was 1927 with 45 killed (38 children) and luckily not any more (a cache of ordinance failed to go off).

This seems to be reminiscent of an earlier case... http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/07/hacker/

Nothing good ever happens after 9pm! Also, is this the 3rd strike already?

Wonder if they have ever killed anyone during their previous burglaries. I hope the police are quadruple-checking all of their residences.

Argh. Can't we get any consideration for the working professionals in this city who would like to live in a walkable community? We need a 24/7 drug store, 24/7 grocery store, and some high quality 2-BR, 2-BA rentals in the downtown. Come on, developers!

Yey! What a brave young man!

He needed a designated walker.
