I think it is really sad that this young man's life was cut short because of someone else's ignorance and motives. The young men in Columbus County need to learn and make something of themselves and learn to make better decisions about life. There's much more to life than running around with gangs, hanging out all night and living from one day to the next with no motivation. It is time for them to grow and get it together and stop playing with people's lives. Now this young man's family will have to get through Christmas without him-so sad. Grow up Hallsboro, Chadbourn and Whiteville!
