You people think u know so much and it is sad to say but u don’t!! That little girl slammed on breaks trying to wreck drew!! and u know what u would have said if Drew would have been killed by her!! You would have said well he shouldnt have been following her!! I am sorry but nobody made her go that fast!! She was in front of drew all she had to do was slow down and call the police but no she wanted to drive crazy!! Let me tell u something about death yes i feel sorry for that family and i feel sorry for them because i dont know how they stood with God and where they are spending eternity but the way they were talking and cursing before they sped off wasn’t the way christians talk!! And for the siblings thing The older boy new what he was coming to citronelle to do and he knew it might be dangerous he should have left him at home!!! I also have to say that when it is your time to go no matter what you are going!! This all was a part of God’s Plan We couldnt have changed it!

CrazyEights I did if I told my mama I was going somewhere that’s where I went.

Good grief.  How many of you “angels” told your parents you were going somewhere only to end up somewhere else at least once in your teenage years? 

Obviously, as one of their parents stated, “My child should NOT have been in Citronelle, Ala”.  But they were ... and all of the cell phone calls (or parent checkups) could have changed that fact.  This is not a “parent blame game”.  Parents with the very best of intentions end up with children who don’t always do as they should. 

And what is with the comments “they came here looking for trouble and got it”?  As far as I know, Citronelle isn’t the Wild West or even the OK Corral. 

Loper will have a lot to answer for—but the main question will always be the same:  “why didn’t you stop to help”?  If he wasn’t mature enough to grasp what had just happened —then he didn’t deserve to be operating a motor vehicle.  The law calls it “hit and run” for a reason ... because it’s illegal.

So they slammed on brakes so he couldnt pass tehm, well why didnt he just back off and let them go?  YOU KNOW WHY? he wanted trouble just as much as they did.  If he wanted to avoid the trouble he never would have been following them in the first place.  Bamagirl07, you need to really grow up and think about the people you hang out with and defend.

Oh and Bamagirl07, I guess you were there and know for a fact that the three that are not here to defend themselves slammed on brakes? This is just what you heard. You were not there so how do you know what really happened? Sure that is what Loper is saying but he would say anything to get out of being charged with three counts of murder.The fact is that two wrongs do NOT make a right. How can you defend a cold blooded murderer??? As a teenager I had my little sisters tag along sometimes with me. Some little kids like to hang out with their big brothers and sisters. Haven’t you ever heard of that??? I feel sure that if anyone thought for a second that things would turn out like they did they would have never gotten in the situation in the first place. Come on, think before you write.

Ahhh See that is where you are all wrong He did not ram into them They slamed on Brakes..Trying not to let him pass them.  See that is where you are wrong WAIT4ME.

20 years old and still doesn’t know right from wrong? GIVE ME A BREAK bamagirl07, you know better, he may be the best guy in the world, but he made a choice to chase them, hit them, leave them for dead and run and hide.  He is not a man he is in fact a coward.  ALL of you that are blameing the victims for going to Citronelle to fight, breaking his window, and now what? you want to blame them for dying also?  HE committed a crime plain and simple, and he should be punished according to the law. He had a choice, and made the wrong one, I have, you have, just about everyone has, but mine and most others didn’t cost 3 young people thier lives.

DEW26m I am sorry for ur loss. But the fact is that like I have said The parents should have not let the 11 year old go with the older ones… The parents should have been asking questions like mine always did where are you goin what will you be doin and what is the address to where you will be at so if they feel like it they just might go and make sure that they was where they were suppost to be.. That is what all parents should do. No the parents can not be blamed all the time. Also. why would the older one want to bring his 11 year old brother to a fight. That is what I want to know!!! I have a younger brother and I would NEVER bring him to a fight! Y didn’t the 3 call the cops the same reason drew didn’t. They new they would be in trouble.(Scared)They were doin what they should not be. Yes the cops should have been called but would you have called them when you where their ages?? I don’t think so.

Prayin4Drew & bamagirl07, both of you make a great example of how Children your age show no respect for human life, and also why religion should be placed back in school. Three people are dead, and all you can say is “they were looking for trouble”, you have no clue how many people are affected by the loss of life and do not care. It’s truly pathetic that you can come in here and say such things about the dead, and think that we should feel sorry for a cold-blooded killer. I know two of the dead, and as I have earlier stated, the eldest of the two was no saint, however did not deserve to die. Your “friend” left three people to die on the side of the road, when every second counted, he possibly had a chance to save their lives. Instead like the little punk and pathetic coward he is, he left them to die. Your comments show just what kind of mentality our children are being raised with today, and I hate to see the day when your generation rules the country.  I have made mistakes in my day, I have hit rock bottom, and risen back to the top, but never in my life have I talked about the loss of life as carelessly as you two have.  I can only hope and pray, that one day you don’t have children, and teach them the same morals, or lack there of, in which you have been taught. I pray that if you do ever have children, that their lives are not taken from you in the way in which these were taken from their parents. I hope that one day you will wake up from your dream like world and realize that every life, no matter how insignificant to you, has significance to others. One day you may lose someone close to you, in a simular tragic manner, and you will be faced with the choice of rather or not to forgive he who is responsible for the situation. Will you be so quick then to forgive? Or will you feel the same way the parents/friends/family members of these three feel?

bamagirl:  You are correct PARENTS SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR KIDS.  Granted our kids are not always going to tell us the truth and granted our kids are going to do things that we do not approve of but in the end it is up to us to know where our kids are and what is going on with them.

Now before everyone jumps on me, I am not saying that any of the parents in this case could have changed the outcome.  I am simply saying that as parents we have become more lax with the comings and goings of our children because we can call them on their cell phone and often get a false sense of security.

I am so sorry for all of those of these involved in this traggic accident.  I do believe that whether this was an accident or not when the wreck happened Mr. Loper had a duty to stop and call for assistance.  I know people say he was scared, well imagine how scary it was for the 3 in the wrecked vehicle.  My only hope is that others will not make the same mistakes as Mr. Loper.
