Great for Papa Johns!  Wish there were still some in our area.  The franchisee was crooked and got shut down, so now we have to settle for other stuff. :(  Papa John's has been known for community support all over the country, and is to be commended.

Thanks for posting this Helen...and thanks to Papa's for their community love and support....

Just in the last several weeks we have lost 5 of the FINEST here....I am heartsick and nauseated. Never been able to comprehend evil....perhaps it's best I don't.

One coward is dead, the other can rot in jail til he rots in hell...and it still wouldn't satisfy the community outrage. This latest slime was aided, after the act (one maybe during), by half a dozen or more relatives, friends, and acquaintances....they are being tracked down...I look forward to seeing these wastes of life rotting too.

I believe in live and let live...I believe in redemption...I believe in forgiveness...I believe in compassion...I believe in community...I believe in the men and women who protect us from the deluge...and I believe that all of us have been robbed of some of the humanity we all NEED ....by the acts of an evil few.

Well put Jon, these are nothing more than oxygen thieves stealing the air that was meant for far better people. I hope they lock up all the people that helped this slime ball and throw away the key.

Thank you all for caring. I saw a news clip today on the funeral, a 10 mile caravan of law enforcement. For anyone that has never experienced a vision of that, words cannot describe.

Being married to law enforcement personell, I cannot begin to explain how a killing of on-duty law enforcement affects me.

QnHeartMM my heart goes out to you, my cousin is a cop in Virginia and I always worry about him and when I see stuff like this it just makes me so sad and so angry at the same time. These people swear to serve and protect us and to have some low life coward oxygen thief take their lives like this is just beyond words. I am glad they saved the tax payers some money on this low life but I hope they throw the book at those who helped him. Just my 2 cents here.
