ok heres the thing i am the woman that was stabbed in this whole incident and it wasnt for drugs or anything like that it was because i had broken up with dowell a week prior to the incident. So i guess he was just heartbroken….
Just another day in Carter County…full of drugs and law enforcement can do precious little to stop it. Too many people want it. What people want, they will find a way to get! Failure to legalize keeps the prices high…just what the dealers want! The rest of us pay the price for incarceration and crime in our neighborhoods.
Two men are charged with stabbing other people. Why? Why would you post photos of these two guys and not try harder to find out why, or for what reason there was a stabbing? I don’t care who these guys are, I just want to know why. Oxycontin, Pot, meth, love…what was it?
Wait wait the 27 yr. old was charged with aiding and “betting” second degree murder??? As opposed to “betting” it would be first degree?? I think the charge is aiding and “abedding”. Maybe it’s just me though.
