I read over all these comments. Some defend, some accuse but no one person is really aware of all the details.  I am sure some are correct and some are not. The reason I know this is my friend worked/works at Vulcan. He said that Mikes wife did his/the payroll, took care of company business and was at the plant a lot of the time. His daughter and son-n-law also worked there. He thought they all seemed likeable people. Mike was a fair boss and Oneal was also well liked and this has been hard for all the employees.
I think Mike and his wife know what and why all this has happened. Having said that I want to make it clear this does not mean I think Mike is guilty of killing Oneal. Looks like he did steal some money but from what I know that is all they have charged him with. It has been business as usual at the plant but the sudden loss of both Mike and Oneal in these circumstances has affected all the employees, according to my source/ friend.

legalgal, you are right. The shots were fired by one of the employees at another. It was the middle of the night and Mike was not there. I’am not in Alabama, but I do know this. People just want to prosicute people because they know about stuff that went on down there, in my eyes that is not right. I do not know nothing about what happened between Mike and O’neal, just alot of hear say. Maybe some is true and maybe some is not. I just hope whoever did this is found and then maybe o’neals wife will see a little bit of justice.

bye alabama....I was not directing that to you, I received that email to my work email. I just think that everyone has their own ideas about what has happened, and we use this forum as a place to let our comments known. When someone gets “personal” in a email, I think that crossed the line. The email CROSSED the line. This person has no right to dog me out, we have the right to speak freely.

Lady, i have no clue as to who you are and to be honest, I pray I never meet you. IF you are a christian, have you never read “Judge not lest ye be Judged” you have put mike crocker in the electric chair since day one. Has it ever crossed your mind that he is NOT guilty. I have known Donna and Mike for years, and I can assure you that neither one of them are capable of hurting another human being let alone themselves. I just want to see what your and others response is going to be when Mike is found not guilty, because he is. Lady I pray for you and some of you BLOG friends daily.
*** This response was emailed to me, whatever happened to freedon of speech????***** I plan on reporting this lady/man to wkrg as abuse......Posted by me because I have the right to!!!!

from what I know there were shots fired at Vulcan, but had nothing to do with Mike Crocker. I think it is so funny that people can get on here and write what they think or feel or even know about this and there is still someone else out there that wants to argue or disagree. LOOK no one knows what happened but Mike Crocker. The police might have ideas and clues, but no one will know what happened for sure except him, and O’neal, but O’neal is not around to tell his side. Anyways all you people that want to argue or just be a smart mouth than maybe you should think twice, this is a place to post comments on what you think and what you feel. So just let people do that instead of trying to argue.
