Says attempted robbery. The gentleman did resist before he was killed.

Looks like the victim was one of the good guys, such a shame.

One of my husbands doctor's is in Gainesville, we used to do some shopping while in town. It no longer feels safe there.

We really really need to bring back a speedy trial and the death penalty by electrocution.

We need to bring back the death penalty for sure. When I see what parents are doing to their kids today and vice versa...pulling triggers to out each other, that madness has to stop!

Gainesville, Ga. does have a lot of chicken coops. You can see them as you drive past on the interstate highway. They used to have difficulty finding workers to chop up the birds into the respective parts. Young guys who had just gotten out of jail or prison were offered jobs at processing the birds. Maybe, in a futuristic movie they will grow the food in test tubes in order to avoid needing to hire foreign or convict labor. Maybe, the White and Black guys in Gainesville, Ga. are just too well educated to work in the chicken processing industries.

"...There is more to this..."


Perhaps it is as simple as 73-y.o. Mr. Hough and his wife were out near Gainesville and wished to stop at any CVS for a qiuck errand?

IQ 75 at best.

Oh don't say that, then they won't be able to kill him because it would be inhumane! Liberals care more about a piece of crap destroyers than they do about decent productive human beings ( I don't count the animal that did this as a human being).

FYI the chicken processing plants in GA are FREQUENTLY audited for eVerify compliance.

Also the chicken plant near us employs Latinos and whites; pays a starting wage of about $15/hr with benefits.

In Gainesville, there’s a couple plants that hire folks of all appearances - but not felony records.

Hall County is the chicken capitol of the US

According to Hitlery Clinton, DeMarvin was a superpredator who needed to be brought to heel.
