Teens Held Without Bond in Girl's Slaying
Carthage Tight security surrounds three teens charged with killing a 12-year-old girl in her Moore County home last week.
Van Roger Smith Jr., 16, Sherrod Nicholas Harrison, 19, and Michael Graham Currie, 18, all of Cameron, have been charged with first-degree murder and breaking and entering in the death of Emily Elizabeth Haddock. Emily was dead Friday in her home on Marks Road outside of Vass, authorities said.
She had stayed home from school with strep throat and was alone when someone broke into the house and, surprised to find someone inside, shot her several times with a .22-caliber handgun, authorities said. Two of the teens lived on Marks Road about six miles from the Haddock home.
Harnett County authorities located a stolen .22-caliber handgun on Monday in a car with stolen plates in the Carolina Hills area of the county. The gun had been stolen last Thursday from a home, and authorities said it might be the weapon used in the slaying. Perry Ross Schiro, 19, of Cameron, was charged with burglary, larceny and possession of stolen property in connection with the gun.
One of the three teens charged in the slaying also is considered a "person of interest" in an attempted break-in last Friday about a mile from the Haddock home, authorities said. The three teens made their first court appearance Tuesday morning and were appointed attorneys.
A bond hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in District Court, but authorities have declined to disclose the time of the hearing for security reason. The teens were being held without bond Tuesday in the Moore County Detention Center.

Good question. Ever listen to BET (Black Entertainment Television)? Or watch a Black movie, or a black sitcom? They (meaning the black entertainers) can't put out a comedy show, sitcom or movie without saying something about the "white man, or honky, or the man" as a put-down. It's constant - the mentality out there in the black world is unbelievable - they are constantly acting like the victim. I kid you not - just tune in sometime - you'll see. I suppose someone out there will say I'm racist or prejudiced, but, check it out - I'M not the one who's racist. One can't help but notice it.
“Good question. Ever listen to BET (Black Entertainment Television)? Or watch a Black movie, or a black sitcom?”
Yep, and bitches and hos ain’t the only common subjects of rappers, either. The white man gets his share of air time.
Where did this happen?
North Carolina
“Where did this happen?”
Somewhere in the coverage area of this TV station that, according to it’s homepage, serves Raleigh/Durham/Fayetteville, North Carolina.

I totally agree. Even at school, there’s a knife by my bed, but nicely out of sight =) And having the knife is allowed as long as the blade isn’t begger than ‘the palm of your hand’... I learned this when one of the people from Texas asked our RA about the policy on knives in the dorms. I’m happy they’re allowed.
I have a theory that society has been at peace for too long, and people are increasingly spoiling for a fight.
I am not going to condemn a race of people because a few members of that race are murderers.
A (murder) has nothing to do with B (race).
However, if you want to use that logic, all the people listed below are White Male Serial Killers in the United States. This group of white men are responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.

Now, only a fool would conclude that race had anything to do with their being serial killers.
Thus, only a fool would conclude that being black had anything to do with these boys killing that poor little girl.
Because race baiters like Sharpton and jackson, and leftist media are doing a good job of creating racial tensions.
Only a fool would pretend that FBI crime stats - which show that blacks commit violent crimes at a rate seven to eight times that of whites - only a fool would pretend that reality is not reality.
Believe what you wish, but years of crime stats don’t lie. But according to you:
“Thus, only a fool would conclude that being black had anything to do with these boys killing that poor little girl.”
Because the robbers who broke into her house were black, the probability that they’d resort to murder was - according to years of statistics - about eight times greater than if they’d been white.
Only a fool would pretend otherwise. In moments of candor, few black folks make such pretensions.
If you realized that three guys were following you down the street, would you be more worried if they were black or white? Jesse Jackson gave his answer several years ago: he’d be relieved if the were white.
This is just reality in 21st Century America. Sorry you’re unable to deal with it.
“Am I missing something here? I see nothing to indicate that the thugs killed the girl because of race. Why insert that element?”
I think it is meant as a sarcasm. If a white injures or kills a black (or any member of a protected racial group) it is automatically labeled a hate crime by the MSM and the political elites. However, when blacks or members of another racial group other than white injures or kills a white it is NEVER a hate crime. That is why the hate crime laws are so insidious.
And your long list of serial killers is just plain silly. If you added up all the victims of serial killers in US history, do you think they’d be equal to a couple of months’ totals of non-serial murderers?
Maybe next a list of ax murderers and their race?
School shooters?
All make spectacular news stories, but are a tiny, tiny fraction of all murders. If those were our only murders, we’d be a blessed nation.
“This is obviously not a hate crime and probably would not be persecuted as such were the race of the Victim and perps reversed.”
I respectfully disagree. I live outside of Chicago, and I can guarantee that if a racial minority broke into our home and attacked my wife and I shot the SOB I would be charged with a hate crime on top of murder or attempted murder; but if the perp were a white guy I’d be similarly charged but minus the hate crime.
Seems to me that if a bunch of Blacks get together and decide to "go rob whitey", that is racially motivated and therefore a hate crime as well as break enter and theft. I'm sick and tired of hearing day after day on talks shows and other media minorities blaming whitey for all their woes, while they sit back on welfare and other social programs that whitey pays for. It's whitey that is the slave in this screwed up country, and I'm damn sick of paying everyones way.
There's an overall lack of candor regarding the black community's pathologies.
The statistics are compiled by the Feds for everyone to read.
From that data there's no denying that black American society is in serious, serious trouble.
But to state that plainly and without malice brings only pointless accusations of racism.
“’In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man....’”
And those are just the ones that were reported!
If a family member of mine is raped or murdered, I am not going to blame his race, but instead the offender. It would hurt just as much and I would be just as livid no matter the offender’s race.
Now, you FBI statistics may be correct but one event, not matter how tragic, can be attributed to the race of the offender or the victim.
I really do not see that fact that the victim is white and the alleged offenders are black makes it any more tragic.
So, what is you solution?
Should we imprison all black males because they are seven times more likely to commit murder?
” Now, you FBI statistics may be correct but one event, not matter how tragic, can be attributed to the race of the offender or the victim.

All I’ve done is cite statistics. I don’t think I’ve attributed anything to the race of an offender or victim, or made any statement about what scenario would be more tragic.
I have concluded that the statistics indicate that, when in proximity to either black or white individuals, one is seven or eight times more likely to be a victim of crime perpetrated by a black offender than a white offender. There’s no other logical conclusion, and the total violent crimes and percentages committed by different races has been consistent over many years.
I don’t have any solutions except education and economic opportunity (which is there for the taking), and an end to the victim culture which some feel justifies their criminal behavior, but I think anyone would be wise to be more cautious when in black neighborhoods, or around black strangers than if around white. Not racism, just probability. And, as I said, Jesse Jackson agrees.
No need to apologise for speaking the truth. Tell your PC “baiter” to take a hike instead.
