  • Comment policy

    Please remember when leaving a comment on my blog that all comments are subject to the blog owners discretion. I do believe in freedom of speech, however, that right is not absolute. Here are the rules: 1 - I will not tolerate hate filled speech, vulgar or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc.
    2 - Please remember to not use all CAPS or capitalize the beginning letter of every single word or every other word, or use IM/text abbreviations (except like LOL). Please have respect for other readers and type words out. Not everyone is into that and it is inappropriate here. [examples: "cuzn" "tha" "dat" and so many more] Learn proper English! You should have learned it in school.
    3 - Your comments must be all in English.
    4 - I will also not allow Anonymous comments. This includes using anonymous, obviously fake email addresses (you@you.com, me@me.com, anonymous@yahoo.com, or fictional characters, etc.)
    5 - ALL COMMENTS LEFT BY COMMENTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND THEIR OPINIONS. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE FACTS. NOR IS THE BLOG OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE'S OPINIONS OR FEELINGS. STATEMENTS MADE AS COMMENTS ARE OPINIONS, GIVEN FREELY BY THE COMMENTORS.
    6 - You must be 18 years of age or older to comment.
    If you have a question or problem with this, please feel free to email me (there is a link to my email above).

Is This Justice? Dedrick Ashford got high and drove, killing 6-year-old Christopher Wade; Sentenced to 1 YEAR in prison!

Christopher Wade
Christopher Wade

This is so sad. I personally believe that Dedrick Ashford should have been charged with at least vehicular manslaughter and sentenced to real prison time. He did not have a driver’s license and he admitted to having smoked marijuana. He is old enough to know better, but he did drive anyway. Straight out point – he should not have been driving under ANY circumstances. He killed a 6-year-old boy, whose family and loved ones are devastated. One year in prison is not going to show justice or even be a deterrent to anyone. There was NO JUSTICE for this child or his loved ones. My heart truly breaks for them.
