Horrible News In the Mallard Creek Community

Very tough week for the Creek Family. Those who knew him understand what a huge loss this is. He absolutely lived and breathed Creek football.
Yes I read that story. It's very tragic news. He sounded like a very giving man. Prayers go out to his family and the Creek family at large.
I hate this for MC . Prayers to the Hammond family and Mallard Creek.
Violence and crime are eating up America.
No it's a product of moral decay. When I was in high school back in the mid 70's we took our guns to school with us to go hunting when school was over. Was nothing to see rifles in gun racks in the back window. Those in FFA took theirs to class when they were shooting on the range. You walked right down the hallway with all the other kids toting your shotgun. What has changed is the morals of this country.
Prayers to the Creek community.
I had the privilege of meeting Ralph several times. He was always gracious and kind in my interactions with him. One of the good guys. Heartbroken for the MCHS community and all those who loved him.
Who is America's primary source of crime, bloodshed, and gun-related collateral damage?
Wow, what a tragic loss for the entire Charlotte football community, especially to all of those young people he mentored in the Mallard Creek area. Thoughts and prayers to all family and friends of Mr. Hammond.
Was this a targeted attack? Reading the quotes from his family it seems like it was:
“It doesn’t make any sense. They took the coward’s way out,” Debbie Hammond said. “If they had an issue with him they could’ve sat down and had a conversation with him.”

The problem is the cavilerish attitudes of cis men who have no intentions of starting a family, but have multiple children, abandoning said children (The amount of women I know who are single mothers is staggering). Not to mention a huge issue is all the other mental health issues that can attribute to less than ideal situations at home, abuse, etc., creating broken families. All of this BS is the creation of moral decay which is part of our society. It's not a race issue, its a societal issue that has been a problem in this country for many decades now. Sure there is a small percent of people who overcome the adversity and end up doing well, but there is a large percentage of people who resort to cults, clans, gangs, radicalized militia groups, basically anything that makes them feel needed/wanted/loved; a purpose, to fill that void that they didn't receive from their childhood. Add in A LOT of guns, and there is going to be violence and crime, people who feel the need to use violence to capitalize on prey. It's a survival instinct.

The increase of intolerance, hatred, and violence in recent years has been one issue we have faced. Members of violent/gang groups and all hate groups share severe psychological issues or abnormal psychological requirements as a unifying characteristic. The extremist has a mind set that is closed. Most extremists have serious mental health issues, an antisocial attitude, and, to make matters worse, they lack intellectual rigor.
For far over a century, youth gangs have thrived in our big cities, usually in the poor, ethnic districts. The main goal of gangs is to give a group of young people with minimal parental involvement structure and social support. This is a strong force with an underdeveloped mind, a lack of self-discipline, a lack of conventional cultural values, and a disinterest in a conventional way of life.
There can be no doubt that these kids are in danger due to their extreme poverty, lack of hope and positive role models, and overexposure to obscene media. Is it any surprise that many young people in our underprivileged communities join gangs, sell and use drugs, and develop into dysfunctional individuals incapable of making wise decisions? There is little purpose in their life or the lives of others around them. Violence pervades everyday lives. Many of them claim that they will soon meet their death. Sad!
Who are the cis men and women you speak of?
Can you Guys just send out condolences and keep it moving? Please don’t turn this into debate’s about how you feel about gun violence. 
Thanks.

I'm one of those people who thinks, "thoughts and prayers" are not really going to help anything, and we should be talking about the issues at hand and try to empower the correct people to fix said issues. It's not just about gun violence, its a whole range of issues that needs to be given a harder look at. Our government needs to do a better job at giving the people in this country what we need to succeed, instead of lining their own pockets and appeasing to the lobbyists who are sucking the life out of our country. The government should be FOR the people, not being inactive because they cant meet in the middle to fix our actual issues.
I am aware that words cannot take the suffering away. The suffering and heartache this community is going through is beyond my comprehension. May the pleasant memories bring everyone comfort and serenity at this trying time. My condolences to the MC community on the passing of your beloved friend, mentor, and coach. I can see what he meant to the area and the kids. Praying for comfort and peace.Can you Guys just send out condolences and keep it moving?

He was a very close friend, who I spoke with every day. Condolences will do right now. We’ll be doing some things at the school, to honor his work, and his deeds.
We should talk and seriously address the issues. But, this is not the forum for it.
