I would first like to say that I am a teenager from Elkton and I often visited Odell and Joyce at the store. I never was offered drugs or bought drugs. They were two of the sweetest people and my prayers are with them.

There is a old saying: give enough rope and you will hang yourself.

First of all, lets not start pointing fingers at the cops who keep us safe. If you think that you could do a better job, well then try it for yourself! And since Tom stated that he'd never been in the store how can he speculate and say that it was a drug ring? He can't! Just as the cops couldn't unless they would have entered the store, that is if it was REALLY that noticable. Its time that we as people quit pointing at the faults of others and begin to act in love. To the Crawford family, I pray that God be with you. And to Odell and Joyce, I pray for your souls! I pray that God will reach you were you are. It is a horrible thing that you've done, but only God can grant you total forgiveness.
