The sentence my son’s killer got was an injustice
Charlotte Observer (via Yahoo) ^ | 11/7/2021 | Elizabeth Allen

Posted on 11/07/2021 2:34:39 AM PST by markomalley

My son Christian Allen and I almost died during childbirth. From the start, he was always stubborn and tenacious. He also was the one who would be there the second he was needed.

He was an amazing football player at East Mecklenburg High School and had many accomplishments. He had a niece who he absolutely adored.

Chris didn’t get to graduate high school or go to college. I will never see his children, his education or his accomplishments. All of that was robbed from us. Gone. In one night.

Carlos Olguin, the man who shot my son to death in 2017 at a high school party, was sentenced Monday to seven to nine years in prison. He had seven previous gun charges. Carlos, now 27, was originally charged with first-degree murder. He was allowed to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter.

To me, the best areas in most states are locations whose name isn’t recognized outside of the state (or even inside).

That’s Charlottesville, VA, not Charlotte, NC...

My bad. For some reason, I thought the incident in Charlotte was in Virginia. Never been to Charlotte N.C. (that I recall), though I have spent considerable time in, and like N.C. My daughter went to college there Freshman year, and I visited a Navy base there as a work assignment.

I told her that very same thing. Then I told her she was alive for a reason, better start praying to find it. I have watched drugs ruin girls lives for a very long time. Sex trafficking is fueled by drug addiction.
I was more mad that she walked into a room where violent people were fighting without the defense I gave to her.
She has not learned her lesson or her purpose. I can’t make her choices. I won’t make her choices. I know it is unpopular these days to make your children live on their own.. but. I have never been amongst the crowd.

From the article:

“In court, the prosecutor told the judge that trouble at the party started when Chris found that a bag he had brought, containing marijuana, had disappeared.

I do not deny that my son was fighting people. He was standing up for his rights, his belongings, and for what he believed in.”

Her son was fighting people over drugs. When you’re fighting over drugs you really lose a lot of your moral superiority and innocence.

Never. As long as there are elections, the voters will continue to elect Democrats. A Democrat will promise Heaven on Earth. The People will believe them. Hell on Earth is what they will deliver. As the People become more evil, they will want to be led by evil People. When it comes to being evil, the Democrats have no peer. A/L/A Hillary Roddam Clinton. As the People become more evil, whey want evil People to lead them. So they vote for and elect more Democrats.

I don’t think so - south Charlotte is becoming far too expensive vs north Charlotte for that.

Just depends on what you want in a city or town.

Prosecutors LOVE plea deals because it is a conviction...

And there are enough laws on the books to charge a defendant with a dozen felonies to force one to plea down.

Did you really just blame the victim?

Would you do that is she was raped? Murdered? Maybe she didn’t know he was dealing drugs. People hide a LOT of things from their significant others.

Hang in there mom!

Place your faith in:


Proverbs 22:6
"Train up a child in the way he should go;
Even when he is old he will not depart from it".

What 'victim'?


Maybe she didn’t know he was dealing drugs.

Remote, but let assume you are right.

Did she know she was LIVING with him?
