i agree that it is a shame that the police did not protect him. i noticed a comment that "columbus county should have spent money to protect him." a poverty stricken, welfare, food stamp county such as columbus does not have money for everything. columbus county can barely even fund it's schools. luckily, i recently moved away from columbus county. Maybe, instead of blaming the local law enforcement, the col county commissioners should be blamed for running a county that is way behind on times.
