Um, what exactly was so wrong with what I posted?


Apparently, the problem lies with the probable fact that you don't know anybody involved so you have no right to comment at all. I'm sure you know how this all works.

Tragedy all the way around, and to whoever posted it, it always strikes me as messed up that someone kills someone but in the end it is the family and friends that end up suffering the most.

For one, comprehension doesn't escape me....two, the way you posted it was as if the other guy was part of this. And that's why I said what I said. For one, they wouldn't of known who was with him if that reporter would of never printed it! The detectives weren't handing that information out for reasons. You don't go and print something like that. I just think that people are posting comments about the wrong thing here. They should be more worried about the person who drove up on them in the driveway, shot Troy and then just took off. Another thing is the fact that Suzanne Martin lost her son, regardless of whatever he did in his life, this woman loved him. And Russ has a lot of people who love and care for him too; when love is unconditional from your family, whatever you've ever done, doesn't matter. He paid his debt to society a long time ago. Like I said before, he turned his life around for the better, and so was Troy. And yes, do I think the one who did it is the dumbest criminal on earth, yupe.
Thank you for your comment!

As much as these men, both of whom I do not know or have any connection with, may have "turned their lives around" or "paid their debts to society" this event happened for a reason. The least likely scenario in this case is that someone randomly pulled up in the driveway and opened fire.

So we all need to ask ourselves "why?" Obviously there are people who are posting here that knew Mr. Martin. This would lead me to believe that you are also familiar with others that associated with him. Ask yourself the question, why would someone want him dead? Who would want him dead? Was anyone p!ssed off at him for any reason? Is there any reason to believe that he may have gotten involved with crime again?

These are all questions that the police are trying to answer. If you have answers to them, the best thing to do is turn the computer off and call the police.

Maybe someone should mind their own business, someone made a mistake YEARS ago, and paid his debt to society!!!! He doesn't owe any one anything! He did turn his around for the better!! Being judgemental doesn't make you a better person, not by any means!! Your not holier than anyone else on the earth! So who are you to pass judgement?!


It is what we do on here, darling. If you do not like it, leave.

I did not know Troy, but I do know Russ and several of his friends. Yes, all of them have had extremely rough pasts and have turned their lives around and are good people. Russ would do anything for anybody. Just because somebody has screwed up in the past doesn't mean they can't do some good. As somebody else said, my family has many people in it who have been tied to criminal acts or the Amish drug ring and all have turned out to be good people with successful jobs and great families.
