Judge Russell Bush went through Opelika High ('83) at the same time I went to Auburn High ('84). These names in print in your hometown news make it uber real.

I hope you don't see any of the questions being posed, at least by myself or @alexava as being directed to you in an effort to have you disclose information that you have, in your good discretion, decided not to share with the board. I appreciate, admire, and agree with your decision not to share. I would never ask you to share information against your better judgment. None of my posts, including this post are asking you to share anything at all. I just want to make that clear. That said, there have been other posters, unlike yourself, who have actually called others to boycott a local business. These are not posters merely sharing their opinion. These are not posters simply deciding for themselves how to apportion their support. These are posters who are openly calling for others to act. In my judgment, such a call to action is serious and deserves to be scrutinized. Moreover, given the potential consequences, to scrutinize and question the motives and grounds for those statements is appropriate. As you've advised, people should absolutely decide for themselves how to act, but this isn't the right place to tell others to act accordingly.

I see why and how your thoughts were directed, now. Every day I learn something new about this awful, awful event. I'm a researcher. I might have made an adequate detective! 😉😁 But I chose to surrender to the daily business of shaping younger lives so that hopefully, such 16-year old decisions do not repeat. It grieves me to know that...how to phrase this...this 16-year-old has had some life challenges that would throw me a curveball. No excuses, whatsoever. But the hurdles are real, and the consequences, despite the hurdles, will be real, too. I keep fixing my gaze on Shelby and Josh, Andy and Jan. The rest will unfold in time, as it should.

There are things that happen in my area , political and legal that I have knowledge of but can’t say anything about. And it’s not just hurt feelings it’s serious legal issues that I usually am not supposed to even know. I see people with opinions that make my skin crawl by how misinformed they are. I stay out of the conversations as painful as it is sometimes. I apologize for any trauma my curiosity caused. But I don’t apologize for my curiosity. I don’t have a “side”. I hurt for what’s left of the Bramletts. But my main concern is for the people at risk from a teenager with obvious issues and a weapon ( vehicle) legally. I’m glad the judge acted.

My post was a tongue-in-cheek hypothetical that if Johnston's parents were the principles of J&M they have got very deep pockets the Bramblett's could justly exploit. It was a poor and misplaced attempt at humor. I apologized if I sparked a misunderstanding on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 No speculation or compromised info...these links will hopefully paint a picture of the justice wheels turning in today's news. Good interviews. Again, prayer. Just got to say...I am very proud of my "home Lee County." Even if they told me, denied...I needed more practice...at the end of my first driver's exam. They were right.

AURealist 2,185 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 There will be a very productive rehab, a 'heartfelt' ghost-written apology and, with no real evidence to refute the story that he fell asleep, no conviction. "Sad story all around..." "So thankful this young man's life was turned around......" I just hope everyone who has become emotionally invested in this story is prepared for this kid to walk free.

I still think he probably did fall asleep. It’s his behavior since that’s concerning me. I also think that behavior will prevent him from walking free. I hope it does.

We learned that the 19-year-old beat her Yale professor's design for the contest to design the Vietnam Memorial. He graded her B minus for the design.
